A DigitalOcean alternative in the EU, cheaper for the same specs

You're paying a premium — and still running three other tabs

DigitalOcean’s droplets are clean and simple, and that’s worth something. But for the same RAM and vCPU you pay noticeably more than European hosts, and you still register domains, host DNS and run email somewhere else entirely. IntoClouds gives you an NVMe VPS plus all three, in one panel, at EU prices.

The price gap, plainly

At the time of writing, a comparable 4 vCPU / 8 GB droplet runs around $48/mo. Our Grow tier is the same class of machine for a lower monthly price — and it includes the domain, the DNS zone and mailboxes that a droplet doesn’t. The full, side-by-side numbers (which move over time) are on the pricing page, priced live from what’s actually orderable today.

Four products, one panel, one billing page

• Servers — deploy, snapshot, rebuild and watch real CPU/RAM, same tab.
• Domains + DNS — register or point a domain, edit the zone next to the server it serves.
• Email — turn on a mailbox and the MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC records get written to your zone for you.
• Every charge lands on one billing page, paid with one card, with VAT invoices from Polar, our merchant of record.

EU by default

Servers run on Hetzner Cloud. Most people pick an EU region — Falkenstein or Nuremberg in Germany, or Helsinki in Finland — but Ashburn VA, Hillsboro OR and Singapore are there when your users aren’t in Europe. If keeping personal data in the EU matters, see the GDPR checklist.

Where a droplet still wins

DigitalOcean has managed databases, load balancers, object storage and a large tutorial library. We don’t sell those — not yet, and we won’t pretend we do. We also do manual snapshots rather than automatic backups, and there’s no uptime SLA yet. If your architecture leans on DO’s managed services, stay. If it’s a handful of client sites that each need a server, a domain, DNS and email, we’re cheaper and calmer. Create an account and compare.
