Top 44 Cloud Service Providers: 2026 Edition

Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud segment reported revenue of US$137.79 billion for the fiscal year to 30 June 2026, up 30% from US$106.27 billion. The segment combines Azure and other cloud services with server products such as SQL Server and Windows Server, so it is broader than public cloud alone. Azure and other cloud services grew 41% during the year, and chief executive Satya Nadella said Azure revenue had passed US$100 billion for the first time. The wider Microsoft Cloud figure, which also includes Microsoft 365 commercial and Dynamics 365, reached US$214.4 billion. Microsoft is headquartered in Redmond, Washington, and employed approximately 223,000 people at 30 June 2026.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the cloud computing segment of Amazon.com. Amazon's fourth-quarter release reports AWS segment net sales of US$128.7 billion for calendar 2025 and segment operating income of US$45.6 billion, against group net sales of US$716.9 billion. Unlike Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud figure, AWS sales do not include on-premises software licences, so the two figures measure different things. Amazon does not report a separate AWS headcount; the group employed 1,576,000 full-time and part-time staff at the end of 2025. Amazon is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

Google Cloud is a reportable segment of Alphabet. Its revenue rose from US$43.23 billion in 2024 to US$58.71 billion in 2025, and segment operating income more than doubled to US$13.91 billion. Alphabet attributes the growth mainly to Google Cloud Platform, particularly infrastructure and platform services. The segment also includes Google Workspace, so not all of the figure is infrastructure. Alphabet reported revenue backlog of US$242.8 billion at 31 December 2025, which it said related mainly to Google Cloud. Alphabet, based in Mountain View, California, had 190,820 employees at the end of 2025.

Alibaba Cloud sits within Alibaba Group's Cloud Intelligence Group. Segment revenue was RMB158.13 billion in the fiscal year to 31 March 2026, up 34% from RMB118.03 billion, which converts to about US$22.0 billion at the 2025 average rate used in this list. Alibaba attributes the growth mainly to public cloud revenue, including AI-related products, and reported segment adjusted EBITA of RMB14.27 billion. Alibaba Group Holding is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and gives its principal executive office as Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.

Oracle splits its cloud revenue into cloud infrastructure and cloud applications. In the fiscal year to 31 May 2026, cloud infrastructure revenue rose 77% to US$18.10 billion, and total cloud revenue including applications was US$33.99 billion. This list ranks Oracle on the infrastructure figure. Oracle reported remaining performance obligations of US$638 billion at 31 May 2026, up from US$138 billion a year earlier, mainly because of significant cloud contracts. The company, headquartered in Austin, Texas, employed approximately 141,000 full-time staff.

China Telecom reports its cloud business, also marketed as Tianyi Cloud, as one of its strategic emerging businesses. Revenue from China Telecom Cloud was RMB120.7 billion in 2025, or about US$16.8 billion at this list's conversion rate. The company's results announcement cites IDC data placing it second in China's public cloud IaaS market and among the top three for IaaS plus PaaS. Group operating revenues were RMB529.6 billion. China Telecom Corporation is listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

China Mobile does not publish an absolute figure for its Mobile Cloud brand. The nearest reported measure is computing services revenue, which totalled RMB89.8 billion in 2025, up 11.1%, or about US$12.5 billion at this list's rate. That figure also includes data-centre revenue, so it overstates pure cloud sales. The company said intelligent computing services grew 279% and drove a 13.9% increase in cloud computing service revenue. China Mobile Limited is listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

CoreWeave rents GPU compute for AI training and inference. Revenue rose 168% to US$5.13 billion in 2025, from US$1.92 billion in 2024. The company was founded in September 2017 and launched its cloud platform in 2020. At the end of 2025 it operated 43 data centres with more than 850 MW of active power and had about 3.1 GW of contracted power. In 2025 OpenAI committed to pay up to about US$6.5 billion under a new order form, and Meta also signed a large commitment. CoreWeave had 2,189 employees and is headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey.

Huawei reports Cloud Computing as a separate business segment. Its 2025 revenue was CNY32.16 billion, down 3.5% on 2024 and equal to about US$4.47 billion at this list's rate. The annual report adds that cloud-related revenue, including amounts recorded in other Huawei segments, was CNY72.08 billion. This list uses the segment figure because it is the one Huawei reports on the same basis as its other segments. Huawei is privately held. Group revenue was CNY880.94 billion.

Baidu introduced a new disclosure framework in the third quarter of 2025 that reports AI Cloud Infra as part of its AI-powered business. Revenue from AI Cloud Infra was RMB19.8 billion for 2025, up 34%, or about US$2.75 billion at this list's rate. Baidu says the figure comes from its internal management accounts and is unaudited. Subscription revenue from AI accelerator infrastructure rose 143% in the fourth quarter. Baidu is headquartered on the Baidu Campus in Haidian District, Beijing.

Rackspace Technology manages public-cloud estates on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud and runs its own private-cloud business. Revenue fell 1.9% to US$2.69 billion in 2025, with Public Cloud at US$1.70 billion and Private Cloud at US$0.99 billion. Both segments are cloud services, so the total is used here. Apollo beneficially owned about 53% of the voting power at the end of 2025. Rackspace is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and employed approximately 5,000 people in 22 countries.

LG CNS is the IT services arm of South Korea's LG group. It reported 2025 sales of KRW6.13 trillion and operating profit of KRW555.8 billion, according to coverage of its January 2026 results announcement. Sales in AI and cloud rose 7% to KRW3.59 trillion, about US$2.53 billion at this list's rate. LG CNS is an IT services company, so it is grouped here with managed cloud providers such as Rackspace rather than with the hyperscalers.

Cloudflare runs a global network that provides security, performance and developer services, including serverless compute. Revenue grew 30% to US$2.17 billion in 2025. The company says its network spans more than 330 cities in over 125 countries and interconnects with over 13,000 networks. Cloudflare reports no separate cloud segment, but its whole business is delivered as a cloud service, so total revenue is used. It is headquartered in San Francisco and had 5,156 full-time employees at the end of 2025.

Samsung SDS operates the Samsung Cloud Platform (SCP) alongside IT services and a logistics business. Its 2025 cloud business revenue grew 15.4% to KRW2.68 trillion, or about US$1.89 billion at this list's rate. The company attributes the growth to wider use of SCP and GPU-as-a-service after the spread of generative AI. Group revenue was KRW13.93 trillion, of which IT services contributed KRW6.54 trillion. Samsung SDS is part of the Samsung group and is headquartered in Seoul.

IONOS Group SE sells web hosting, domains, productivity tools and public-cloud services to small businesses and larger companies. Revenue from continuing operations rose 5.5% to €1,316.9 million in 2025, about US$1.49 billion at this list's rate, and the customer base grew to 6.63 million. In September 2025 the board put Sedo and the AdTech segment up for sale to focus on Web Presence & Productivity and Cloud Solutions. IONOS does not separate cloud from hosting revenue, so the continuing-operations total is used. It is based in Karlsruhe and Berlin and reported 4,115 employees for 2025.

Kingsoft Cloud provides public cloud and enterprise cloud services in China. Total revenues were RMB9.56 billion in 2025, up from RMB7.79 billion, or about US$1.33 billion at this list's rate. Kingsoft Corporation beneficially owned 32.9% of the shares and Xiaomi 10.3% as of 31 March 2026. Xiaomi is also a significant customer: at the end of 2025 Kingsoft Cloud held RMB2.26 billion of advances from Xiaomi for public cloud services. The company is based in Haidian District, Beijing, and had 15,225 employees.

OVHcloud, founded in 1999, is a French company that builds its own servers and runs its own data centres. Its investor-relations page gives fiscal 2026 revenue of €1,145 million, about US$1.29 billion at this list's rate, and adjusted EBITDA of €480.5 million. The same page cites 46 data centres and 3,200 employees. The company says it operates more than 400,000 servers on four continents and serves customers in 140 countries with public and private cloud, bare-metal servers, shared hosting and domains.

DigitalOcean was founded in 2012 to offer developers a simpler, lower-cost cloud. Revenue grew 15% to US$901.4 million in 2025. Its infrastructure is offered across nine geographic regions, with leased data centres in the New York, San Francisco and Atlanta areas and in Australia, Canada, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Singapore and other countries; new US facilities are planned in Memphis, Richmond and Kansas City in 2026. DigitalOcean acquired Paperspace in 2023. It is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, and had 1,462 employees at the end of 2025.

Akamai Technologies reports three revenue lines: security, delivery and cloud computing. Cloud computing revenue grew 12% to US$708.1 million in 2025, out of total revenue of US$4.21 billion. The line is made up of Cloud Infrastructure Services (compute, storage, cloud-native and networking products and EdgeWorkers) plus other cloud applications. The compute platform is based on Linode, which Akamai acquired and has been integrating into its own network. Akamai is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and had over 11,000 employees at the end of 2025.

Fastly operates an edge cloud network used for content delivery, application security and edge compute. Revenue rose to US$624.0 million in 2025 from US$543.7 million in 2024. All of its revenue comes from cloud-delivered services, so the total is used. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and had 1,140 employees at the end of 2025, 258 of them outside the United States. Fastly competes most directly with Cloudflare and Akamai, which also appear in this list. Its 2025 revenue was a little under 30% of Cloudflare's.

Nebius Group, headquartered in Amsterdam, was called Yandex N.V. until August 2024, when it changed its name after divesting businesses that had made up more than 95% of group revenue. Its core business is a multi-tenant AI cloud with a significant presence in Europe and the United States. Revenue from the Nebius segment was US$480.3 million in 2025, while group revenue, including the TripleTen education business, was US$529.8 million. The list uses the Nebius segment. Late in 2025 the company signed long-term agreements with AI hyperscalers. Nebius had approximately 1,500 employees at the end of 2025.

SAKURA internet is a Japanese hosting and cloud company that has expanded into GPU infrastructure. Net sales were ¥35,301 million in the fiscal year to March 2026, up from ¥31,412 million, or about US$236 million at this list's rate. In the first half of the next fiscal year, sales rose 46.0%, which the company attributes mainly to GPU infrastructure services, and it continued to expand its Ishikari Data Center. The whole company's sales are counted because its business is hosting and cloud.

Macquarie Technology Group runs data centres, a telecom business and a Cloud Services & Government segment that serves Australian government and enterprise customers. In the year to 30 June 2026 the cloud segment's revenue rose 11.2% to A$235.6 million, about US$152 million at this list's rate, and its EBITDA was A$55.9 million. Group revenue was A$390.0 million. Only the cloud segment is used for ranking. The Data Centres segment (A$87.0 million) and the Telecom segment (A$105.2 million) are excluded. The cloud segment's EBITDA margin was 23.7%.

Backblaze sells two services from one storage platform: B2 Cloud Storage, an object store, and Computer Backup. Revenue grew to US$145.8 million in 2025 from US$127.6 million. Backblaze is a storage specialist and does not offer general-purpose compute, so it competes with the hyperscalers' object-storage products rather than with their whole catalogue. The company is based in San Francisco and had approximately 320 full-time employees at the end of 2025. Its revenue grew about 14% in 2025.

IREN Ltd, headquartered in Sydney, is converting bitcoin-mining capacity into AI cloud services and aims to substantially complete the transition by the end of 2026. In the fiscal year to 30 June 2026, AI Cloud Services revenue rose to US$128.8 million from US$16.4 million, while bitcoin mining still provided US$578.2 million. Only the AI cloud figure is used. Under a contract with Microsoft, IREN delivered its first tranche of capacity in August 2026, with later tranches targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026. IREN had 685 employees at 30 June 2026 and added about 580 through the Mirantis acquisition in August 2026.

WhiteFiber provides GPU cloud services for generative-AI workloads and also leases colocation capacity. It began offering cloud services in January 2024. Cloud services revenue grew 50.4% to US$68.8 million in 2025, out of total revenue of US$79.2 million. Only the cloud-services figure is used. The company gives its principal executive office as Hudson Yards, New York, and had 83 full-time employees at the end of 2025. Colocation services contributed a further US$8.9 million. WhiteFiber's cloud revenue was a little over half of IREN's AI cloud figure, the entry above it.

E2E Networks is an Indian cloud provider listed on the National Stock Exchange. Revenue from operations was ₹2,456 million in the year to 31 March 2026, up 49.8%, or about US$28 million at this list's rate. Fourth-quarter revenue of ₹956 million was 186% above the prior year, which the company attributed to the scale-up of H200 GPU capacity. The company recorded a loss after tax of ₹156 million for the year. It is registered in New Delhi.

HIVE Digital Technologies, incorporated in British Columbia with principal executive offices in San Antonio, Texas, mines bitcoin and has converted GPUs into an on-demand cloud for AI companies. Revenue from its HPC hosting operations was approximately US$19.5 million in the fiscal year to 31 March 2026, up from about US$10 million. The company said a later two-year contract for B200 GPUs at US$2.90 per hour raised HPC annual recurring revenue to US$35 million. HIVE reported 29 employees at 31 March 2026.

Gcore was founded in Luxembourg in 2014 and is headquartered there. The company states that it has more than 210 points of presence on six continents and more than 50 cloud locations, the largest published cloud footprint in this group. Gcore is privately held and does not publish revenue. It says it has more than 600 team members. A cloud location may be a single site, so Gcore's count is not directly comparable with the regions published by Vultr or Tencent Cloud. It is used here only to order providers that do not publish revenue.

Hivelocity sells bare-metal servers, private cloud and colocation. It states that it operates in more than 40 data centres across six continents. The company is privately held, publishes no revenue, and its about page gives neither founding year nor headquarters. Hivelocity counts data centres rather than regions, so its figure is not directly comparable with Vultr's region count. The published number is given as a minimum ("40+"), and the provider is placed second in this group on that basis. Its size relative to the other footprint-ranked providers cannot be judged from the published information.

Vultr is an independent cloud provider whose trademark belongs to The Constant Company, LLC. In May 2026 it opened Milan, Italy, as its 33rd cloud data-centre region and ninth in Europe. The company says its network reaches 90% of the world's population within 2–40 milliseconds and that more than 80 million cloud servers have been launched on it. Vultr publishes no revenue. Vultr's 33 regions compare with the nine geographic regions DigitalOcean reports in its annual report. DigitalOcean appears in the revenue-ranked group because, as a listed company, it reports its results.

Tencent Cloud is the cloud business of Tencent Holdings. Tencent does not publish a separate cloud revenue figure, so Tencent Cloud is placed in this group. Tencent Cloud International states that it operates 70 availability zones across 25 regions. Its content-delivery network has more than 900 cache nodes outside mainland China in more than 70 countries and regions, and more than 2,300 nodes inside mainland China. The 25 regions describe Tencent Cloud International's published footprint. The parent company's results do not show how its cloud revenue compares with Alibaba's or Huawei's.

Latitude.sh provisions dedicated physical servers and GPUs through a dashboard, API or Terraform. The company states that it has 25 locations across five continents on its own carrier-grade network and that GPU servers can be deployed across 26 regions. It is privately held and publishes no revenue. Tencent Cloud, which also publishes 25 regions, is placed above it because Tencent also publishes 70 availability zones. Logos shown on its home page include Together AI, Baseten and Modal. Like Vultr, it publishes a large number of locations but no revenue.

IBM describes hybrid cloud and AI as the centre of its strategy, but does not report a separate revenue figure for IBM Cloud, so it is placed in this group. IBM's documentation lists nine multizone regions (Dallas, Washington DC, São Paulo, Toronto, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Sydney and Tokyo) and four single-campus multizone regions (Chennai, Montreal, Mumbai and Osaka). The same documentation also lists IBM's classic data centres in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, which sit outside the multizone regions. Only the 13 multizone regions are counted here.

Contabo, operated by Contabo GmbH, sells low-cost virtual private servers, cloud VPS and dedicated servers. Its locations page states "9 Regions, 11 Locations", with five facilities in Germany, three US regions (New York, Seattle and St. Louis) and sites in Portsmouth, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney and India. The company is private and publishes no revenue. Contabo treats Germany as one "European Union" region with five facilities, which is why its region and location counts differ. The India site is described as the newest, and its city is not named. The company is placed on its 11 locations.

Atlantic.Net has operated since 1994 and describes itself as one of the original cloud and hosting providers. It states that it runs eight data centres, in New York, London, San Francisco, Singapore, Toronto, Dallas, Ashburn and Orlando. It is privately held and publishes no revenue. Its published timeline begins with internet access in Florida, which it launched commercially in 1995. It extended service to Tampa and Orlando in 1996 and launched a managed hosting service in 2009. Today its business is cloud and dedicated hosting.

Exoscale is a European cloud provider with its address in Lausanne, Switzerland, and is a member of A1 Digital. It lists eight operating zones in Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna (two), Geneva, Zurich, Sofia and Zagreb, and a ninth, Madrid, as upcoming. Exoscale publishes no separate revenue. Two of its zones are in Vienna, one of them in the A1 Next Generation Data Center, and two are in Switzerland. It is the only provider in this list with zones in Bulgaria and Croatia. Exoscale is placed after Atlantic.Net, which also publishes eight sites, by alphabetical order.

STACKIT is the cloud provider of the Schwarz Group and is operated by Schwarz Digits Cloud GmbH & Co. KG, part of the group's IT and digital division. Customers named on its site include Lidl, Kaufland and FC Bayern. STACKIT states that it operates seven data centres in Europe, with more under construction. Its legal address is in Bad Friedrichshall, near Neckarsulm, Germany. Unlike Hetzner and Contabo, STACKIT does not name the locations of its data centres on its home page.

Hetzner Online GmbH, based in Gunzenhausen, Germany, provides dedicated servers, cloud servers and colocation. It lists six data-centre locations: data-centre parks in Nuremberg and Falkenstein, and data centres in Helsinki, Ashburn, Hillsboro and Singapore. Hetzner is privately held and publishes no revenue on its website. Two of the six sites are multi-building data-centre parks in Germany. The other four are single data centres in Finland, the United States (two) and Singapore. Its six locations span three continents, from Nuremberg to Hillsboro, Oregon.

Core42 is a G42 company that provides sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure. It states that it operates in more than five global regions and has more than 1,100 AI and cloud specialists. Core42 publishes no revenue. It is placed above Civo, which also lists five regions, because it also publishes a headcount. Its figure of more than 1,100 AI and cloud experts is the largest headcount published by any provider in this group. The regions are not named on the page consulted.

Civo is a cloud provider built around managed Kubernetes, with offices in London, Bengaluru, Austin and Hamburg. Its documentation lists five regions: London (LON1), Frankfurt (FRA1), New York (NYC1), Mumbai (MUM1) and Jakarta (JKT1). Civo publishes no revenue. The regions cover the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, India and Indonesia. Customer logos on its about page include Mercedes-Benz and the University of Oxford. Civo publishes neither revenue nor headcount, so its position reflects only its region count. Core42, which also publishes five-plus regions, is placed above it because it also publishes a headcount.

Nscale is a UK-based AI cloud provider. Its website lists four Nscale data centres (Glomfjord, Narvik, Loughton and Texas), seven partner-run sites and one further available site, 12 in total. Only its own four sites are counted here. Nscale is privately held and publishes no revenue. Its seven partner-run sites are in Sines, Keflavik, Stavanger, Oslo, Blönduós, Hayes and North Carolina, and a further site in West Virginia is listed as available. The four sites it runs itself are in Norway, the United Kingdom and Texas.

Scaleway is a subsidiary of the iliad group and has its registered office in Paris. It currently operates in France, Poland, Italy and the Netherlands, with deployments planned in Sweden and Germany, and opened its Italian region in March 2026. It offers more than 100 cloud and AI products, including GPU instances and quantum-as-a-service. iliad publishes no separate Scaleway revenue. Its Dedibox brand advertises VPS in 60 locations worldwide, but that figure covers a hosting product rather than cloud regions and is not used here.

T Cloud Public is the public cloud of Deutsche Telekom, operated by T-Systems International. It was called Open Telekom Cloud until January 2026. It runs its regions only in Europe: a twin-core region in Biere and Magdeburg in Germany, further regions in the Netherlands and offerings in Switzerland. Named reference customers include the European Space Agency, Swiss Federal Railways and Creditreform. Deutsche Telekom publishes no separate revenue for it. Because no revenue is published for it, it is ranked on footprint, and it is placed last because it publishes countries rather than a count of regions or sites.
