OVHcloud's $5.50 Vint Hill VM leads Ashburn-area RAM value at $1.375 per GB — nine times cheaper than AWS metal

Asked

“can you find the cheapest general cloud providers in the ashburn ish area. with api provisioning. and high cpu ghz, and ram priority over core count. rank by ram price. hetzner leaseweb hivelocity type etc, find all available. make a comprehensive list.”

13 providers in the Ashburn / US-East area met every strict requirement — a concrete current price, stated RAM, a nearby location, and API/Terraform-style provisioning — out of a wider sweep that also covered Hivelocity and others that did not fully qualify. Prices are regular on-demand monthly equivalents (hourly × 730) as of 2026-10-31; the 13 rows draw on 12 independent source hosts, best value $1.375/GB-month, median $4.00, worst $12.41.

Monthly USD per GB of RAM, lowest first

One best-RAM-value plan per provider. Bars show $/GB-month; labels show included RAM and the plan's monthly price. VMs and bare metal are not performance-equivalent — colour tells them apart. Hover a bar for CPU, clock, and provisioning details.

Virtual machine Bare metal / dedicated Cloud VM or bare metal

High-memory standouts: price of a full big-RAM box

Total monthly price (x) against included RAM (y, log scale). Latitude.sh and phoenixNAP combine hundreds of GB with near-winner $/GB rates; Latitude.sh also states the strongest clock in the shortlist, up to 4.1 GHz.

The winner is a tiny VM: OVHcloud Essential in Vint Hill is $5.50/month for 4 GB — $1.375/GB — but billed monthly only, with commitment discounts up to ~25%. hostingpromax.com

For serious memory, Latitude.sh f4.metal.large gives 768 GB at $1.445/GB with the strongest stated clock (AMD 9275F, up to 4.1 GHz) — latitude.sh — and phoenixNAP d2.m1.xlarge in Ashburn gives 512 GB at $1.568/GB. phoenixnap.com

Leaseweb's best qualifying box is $3.145/GB in Washington, D.C. — webhostinggeeks.com — while Hetzner's US-East CCX13 lands eleventh at $6.374/GB, behind several local alternatives, with IPv4 billed separately. codetoolpilot.com

Hivelocity was searched explicitly but no row with an independently extractable current price, RAM amount, nearby location, and automation statement passed the strict inclusion rules — that is an evidence gap, not evidence the service is unavailable.

Method: 13 providers ranked by regular on-demand monthly-equivalent price divided by included RAM; hourly offers normalized at 730 h/month; one plan per provider chosen by lowest $/GB-month, then higher stated GHz, then lower total monthly price. Blank GHz means the source stated no comparable clock, never zero. Promotions and spot pricing excluded where identifiable; taxes, IPv4, bandwidth, storage, setup fees, and commitments can still change TCO and stay in the terms column where stated. VM and bare-metal offers are compared together per the request's RAM-over-cores priority but are not performance-equivalent. Search ran 2026-10-31 over official, documentation, and independent comparison pages; some rows rely on third-party pages, so confirm price and availability via each provisioning API before purchase.
