Prices verified on 13 August 2026 against the official price lists: ¹ digitalocean.com/pricing/droplets · ² aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing. USD prices converted at 1 EUR = 1.10 USD. Configurations differ between providers — each cell states exactly what the price includes. cp.lv prices are taken from our current price list.
Severalfold cheaper than clouds
8 GB RAM with 6 vCPU costs €8.99/mo here. A comparable DigitalOcean Droplet is ≈€44, an AWS Lightsail bundle ≈€40. For the same money you get roughly four times more server.
AMD EPYC and NVMe as standard
Even the entry plan runs on AMD EPYC 7663 with fast NVMe storage. Cloud platforms ship plain SSD in their base plans.
A 5-hour trial — only here
Neither DigitalOcean nor AWS lets you try the server before paying. Our 5-hour trial period means you risk nothing.
How to order the right plan
Three steps — from comparison to a working server.
Compare and choose
Weigh the prices, CPU, storage and terms in the table above and pick the plan that fits your workload.
Place the order
Choose the billing period (monthly, 6 months or a year with a discount) and an OS image — ordering takes a couple of clicks.
Verify during the trial
Once the server is up, you have a 5-hour trial period — measure the performance before you pay.
Moving from another provider?
We will help you move your project from any provider: we match an equivalent plan by vCPU, RAM and NVMe and advise on data migration.
You can start with a smaller plan — when the load grows, resources scale up without reinstalling the OS and with minimal downtime.
