Why Partner with UpCloud?
I’ve been passionate about the hosting industry since 2001. Before founding UpCloud, my first company grew to become one of Finland’s largest shared web hosting providers, serving over 30,000 customers. Along the way, I faced the same challenges many of you know well—24/7 on-call responsibilities, solving technical issues, and managing customer inquiries.
At UpCloud, we’ve designed a platform that solves these challenges, offering reliability, scalability, and unparalleled support. We understand the pressures you face because we’ve been there too. Partner with us, and let’s help you focus on growing your business while we handle the rest.
Sincerely, Joel Pihlajamaa CTO, Founder

We are increasing the maximum memory and CPU limits you can configure on UpCloud. Now you can configure servers up to (and including) 10 CPUs and 64GB of memory. You can configure your servers with the new limits through our API and also the Control Panel, as well as on the mobile applications.
With our Flexible plans, you decide yourself how much CPU, memory and block storage your cloud server is allocated. This gives you incredible flexibility and allows you to fully customise your cloud server according to your specific needs.
Secondly, we have removed the dependency between CPU and memory -resources. This means you can configure as much or as little memory to your 1 CPU instance – or whatever the configuration might be for that matter.
We hope that with these two updates, you will be able to enjoy and find even more value in UpCloud.
Lastly, we’re going to be opening up a new availability zone in Chicago soon. In addition to this, we’ll be unveiling a new storage backend we’ve been working on for quite some time. According to our benchmarks, it’s the fastest IaaS storage backend available, and you find some benchmark figures in our tweet:

One of the most common questions our customers ask us is that how we can compete with the likes of Amazon Web Services (AWS) on price as they have economies of scale on their side.

What’s on the roadmap for the open-soure Redis alternative? When Valkey, the high performance key-value database, was announced as the open-source alternative to Redis earlier this year, it set the community alight. Under the Linux Foundation’s governance, Valkey’s maintainers have signalled that the project will evolve considerably throughout 2025, with performance, extensibility, and memory efficiency […]
