EU Cloud Price Update: May 2026

Pricing reviewed across 18 providers as of May 20, 2026. Previous snapshot: April 1, 2026. All prices pre-VAT unless noted.

Key Takeaways

Exoscale repriced at 74%+ across compute. CPU Titan went from €512 to €1,362/mo (+166%). Several large instances were removed outright. Check their live pricing page directly if you’re planning a deployment — changes this large are worth verifying.

OVHcloud and C1V followed with ~25% and ~21% increases respectively. Three European providers have now raised prices in overlapping cycles. Gcore went the other direction with 10–40% reductions across multiple regions.

Civo dropped EUR entirely. All compute prices are now in native USD, and the switch wasn’t a straight rename — actual USD prices are ~8.5% higher than the prior EUR values. A major GPU catalog (H100, H200, A100, L40S) was added at the same time.

Infomaniak massively expanded their portfolio. 40+ new instances across IOPS-optimized, GPU, and Kubernetes control plane tiers. The full GPU catalog (A2, T4, A100, L40S, L4) is on their site — only a subset is covered below.

Pricing complexity increased across several providers. Hostinger now has promotional vs. renewal prices. Nebius restructured GPU billing to per-GPU-hour. Cleura’s prices were previously listed in USD and have been corrected to EUR.

Exoscale — +74% compute, control plane +32%

The largest single-provider price increase in the dataset to date. All CPU and Standard instance tiers were substantially repriced.

CPU Extra-Large (8 vCPU / 16 GB)	€97.82	€170.33	+74%
CPU Huge (16 vCPU / 32 GB)	€195.64	€340.66	+74%
CPU Mega (32 vCPU / 64 GB)	€391.28	€681.33	+74%

Standard (2 vCPU / 16 GB)	€73.37	€136.27	+86%
Standard (4 vCPU / 32 GB)	€146.73	€272.54	+86%
Standard (8 vCPU / 64 GB)	€243.82	€545.07	+123%

Control plane: €30.44 → €40.15/mo (+32%).

Removed: Standard Colossus (40 vCPU / 320 GB), cpu.titan-48c (48 vCPU / 128 GB), cpu.colossus (80 vCPU / 320 GB).

New product line: Storage-optimized instances. Entry tier at 4 vCPU / 16 GB / 1 TB SSD: €102.20/mo, scaling up through Jumbo variants.

OVHcloud — ~+25% across compute

Instance tier	Old (€/mo)	New (€/mo)	Change
Entry	€7.20	€8.98	+25%
Mid	€14.40	€17.81	+24%
Upper mid	€25.92	€32.05	+24%
High	€34.00	€44.17	+30%

NVMe-tier plans added alongside existing SSD plans. This follows the pricing evolution post Octave Klaba published in March.

C1V — ~+21% across all plans

Italian provider c1vhosting.it raised prices uniformly across its VPS lineup.

Instance	Old (€/mo)	New (€/mo)	Change
Naples (1 vCPU / 2 GB)	€5.00	€6.05	+21%
Genoa (2 vCPU / 4 GB)	€5.30	€6.82	+29%
Piacenza (4 vCPU / 8 GB)	€7.50	€8.25	+10%
Bologna (4 vCPU / 16 GB)	€9.50	€10.45	+10%
Palermo (8 vCPU / 20 GB)	€16.00	€17.60	+10%

Removed: NAPLES 500GB (2 vCPU / 4 GB / 500 GB HDD, €4.10/mo) discontinued.

Cyso — hourly rates +8%, monthly unchanged

Hourly rates were corrected upward to align with monthly pricing. Previously the hourly rates were underestimated relative to the monthly cost.

Tier	Old hourly	New hourly
Standard Small (2 vCPU / 8 GB)	€0.02400	€0.02604
Standard Medium (4 vCPU / 16 GB)	€0.05140	€0.05580
Standard Large (8 vCPU / 32 GB)	€0.10270	€0.11161

Monthly prices unchanged. If you were running hourly billing, your costs just went up ~8%.

Leafcloud — +3.9% uniform

Consistent small increase across all instance sizes.

Tier	Old (€/mo)	New (€/mo)
Smallest	€8.93	€9.28
Mid	€71.41	€74.26
Largest	€571.26	€594.10

Netcup — +2%

Instance	Old (€/mo)	New (€/mo)
Entry	€4.87	€4.97
Mid	€8.45	€8.71
Upper	€15.59	€16.18
High	€26.18	€27.24

Price Decreases

Gcore — -10% to -40%

Gcore cut prices across Frankfurt-2, Warsaw, Paris-2, Santa Clara, Tokyo, Mumbai, Johannesburg, and São Paulo-2.

Instance	Old (€/mo)	New (€/mo)	Change
Entry	€12.19	€10.26	-16%
Mid	€15.80	€12.32	-22%
Upper	€31.59	€24.64	-22%

New instance added: g2-memory-32-156 (32 vCPU / 156 GB, 3rd-gen Xeon) at €1,255.91/mo.

Cleura — -16% (currency correction USD → EUR)

Previous pricing was listed in USD; corrected to EUR. The EUR-denominated prices are lower than the prior USD values.

Instance	Old (USD/mo)	New (EUR/mo)
1 vCPU / 1 GB	$15.95	€13.32
4 vCPU / 8 GB	$92.82	€77.52
8 vCPU / 16 GB	$185.64	€155.04

This reflects a currency correction rather than an actual price cut. Cleura uses a flexible per-unit billing model — €0.01009/h per vCPU, €0.00841/h per GB RAM — rather than fixed instance sizes.

Hostinger — promotional prices down; dual pricing model introduced

Hostinger now distinguishes between a 24-month promotional price and a renewal price.

Instance	Old (€/mo)	Intro (€/mo)	Renewal (€/mo)
KVM 1	€12.87	€5.49	€11.99
KVM 2	€16.55	€7.99	€14.99
KVM 4	€27.59	€10.99	€27.99
KVM 8	€55.19	€21.99	€49.99

Prices shown are the 24-month promotional rate. The renewal price is what you pay after year two — factor that in when costing multi-year workloads.

Infomaniak — 40+ new instances

Three new product lines added:

IOPS-optimized (perf2): a4-ram8-disk20-perf2 through a16-ram64-disk80-perf2. Targets database and high-I/O workloads.

Minor compute price adjustments on existing instances (±5–10%).

Nebius — GPU billing restructured

GPU instances (H100, H200, B200, B300) switched to unified per-GPU-hour billing effective October 2025. vCPU and RAM costs are now bundled into the per-GPU price rather than billed separately. Some instances are private-region-only and require contacting Nebius directly.

Arubacloud — SSD → NVMe, IPv4/IPv6 split

All disk types upgraded from SSD to NVMe across the entire VPS lineup. Plans now split into IPv6-only and IPv4-included variants:

Instance	IPv6-only (€/mo)	IPv4-included (€/mo)
VPS O1I1 (1 vCPU / 1 GB)	€1.99	€2.49
VPS O1I2 (1 vCPU / 2 GB)	€3.99	€4.49

Windows pricing addon removed from all plans.

Incomplete Pricing

A few providers don’t publish a complete public price list:

Provider	What’s missing
Infomaniak	GPU catalog only partially listed — additional A100, L40S, and L4 sizes available on their pricing page.
Civo	Full GPU instance catalog available at civo.com.
Nebius	H100/H200/B200/B300 are private-region instances — availability and pricing require contacting them directly.
Hostinger	Promotional (24-month) and renewal prices differ significantly. Renewal prices shown in the table above.
Cleura	No fixed instance sizes — priced per vCPU/hour and per GB RAM/hour. Direct comparison to fixed-instance providers requires choosing a target configuration.
