Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Vultr at $2.5/mo, against Pressable at $25/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: only Vultr publishes one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial.
- How far each ladder goes: Pressable tops out at $675/mo, Vultr at $160/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
How to choose in this category
- Match the tier to the sites and storage you actually use — the levels here divide on resources, not features.
- Introductory terms in this set run one to four years; a lower monthly figure often buys a longer lock-in.
- Every row links the host’s own pricing page. Open it and read the renewal line before you commit to a term.
