UpCloud gives you full flexibility with resources you use, and you are in complete control of your performance and costs. Our flexible hosting is billed by the hour so you will only pay for the hours you have used.
MaxIOPS, our proprietary storage technology, gives you up to 2x the performance compared to industry-standard SSD VPS hosting.
Industry leading IaaS marketplace analyst Cloud Spectator has chosen UpCloud twice as #1 performance leader in Europe among 10 top European cloud providers (AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, Google, 1and1, CenturyLink, Rackspace, OVH, and Softlayer).
As one of the industry leaders, Amazon EC2 doesn’t need to compete on pricing offers, which in turn means that users end up paying for premium instances and lagging behind in price-performance ratio.
In order to get the desired high performance with AWS EC2, you often have to pay for the higher tier, premium or specialized instance types. As a result, you end up spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars for the performance that can cost you up to x12 less with UpCloud.
We believe a great user experience includes a great customer service and support. We offer our users 24/7 local in-house support all year round.
We are happy to provide our users with a 1m 55s average response time, and our users seem to love it with a 97% user satisfaction.
We also offer customer onboarding and a dedicated account manager for our business customers.
UpCloud offers Flexible plans which allow configuring CPU, RAM and storage freely. Another great thing is that the resources are only billed by usage – if you shut down a Flexible plan cloud server, you only pay for the reserved storage and IP addresses.

With AWS EC2 server you might bump into a problem that you’re locked to the resource limits that are provided by the specific instance type. What if you need extra CPUs? Your only option here is to upgrade to the next instance type since AWS EC2 doesn’t offer the flexibility to configure resourced individually. That leaves you with paying for extra resources that might never be used!
