UpCloud
World’s fastest cloud servers
UpCloud is a cloud hosting company offering the world’s fastest cloud servers on an hourly billed infrastructure-as-a-service and used by organizations such as the Finnish Ministry of Justice and renowned growth companies such as Cabforce and LeadDesk.
At UpCloud we let you choose what fits your needs and budget the best. You can select from our easy-to-use Simple plans or choose the Flexible plan and configure CPU, RAM and Storage individually. The resources are only billed by the usage – if you shut down a Flexible plan cloud server, you only pay for the reserved storage and IP addresses.

Price / performance ratio
Being the defacto industry leader like AWS means that they don’t need to compete on pricing, which in turn means that you as a customer are paying a premium for the same level of performance as with many other cloud providers. So while you can get the same performance with AWS EC2 as with UpCloud, you will often have to pay more than twice as much for it.
