The right host, at the right price.

What is CloudCostly?

CloudCostly is a free hosting and cloud price comparison built for people who would rather not overpay. Choosing where to host a website or an app usually means opening a dozen tabs, decoding pricing pages written to look cheaper than they are, and guessing whether a plan is actually enough. CloudCostly puts real specifications and real prices in one place, so you can compare like for like in seconds instead of hours.

Our database tracks the providers that matter, from managed WordPress hosts like Kinsta and WP Engine to developer clouds like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode and Hetzner, plus budget VPS and modern platforms such as Render and Fly.io. Every plan carries its vCPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth and monthly price, and a value score that tells you how much you get for each dollar.

Why compare hosting this way?

The right plan depends on what you run, not on which brand shouts loudest. A busy WooCommerce store, a Node.js API, a personal blog and a Minecraft server all want very different machines. Comparing on raw resources and price, rather than marketing tiers, is the fastest way to avoid paying for headroom you will never use, or buying something too small and hitting a wall on launch day.

How to use CloudCostly

There are three natural starting points. Browse the providers to get a feel for who does what and how they rate. Open all plans to rank every option by value and spot the standouts. Or begin from the workload you want to host, where each page recommends a sensible size and points you to the plans that fit. Whichever way you start, the goal is the same: the right resources, at the right price, for what you are building.

Prices are indicative and can change; always confirm on the provider's site. Last updated July 2026.
