About these cloud accounts
What you are buying
When you buy cloud accounts here you are buying access to an account on the provider’s own platform, in whichever configuration you pick. Every listing above shows how many configurations it has and what they cost, because the price you actually pay is the number worth leading with.
BuyCloudExpress is an independent marketplace. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an authorised reseller for any of the providers listed. Provider names appear here only to describe which platform an account belongs to.
How the ten providers differ
The catalogue falls into three groups, and knowing which group you are shopping in narrows things down faster than comparing ten products one by one:
- Hyperscale platforms — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud. The widest service catalogues and the most regions, with the steepest learning curves to match.
- Developer-first platforms — DigitalOcean, Linode and Kamatera. Simpler pricing, far less to learn, and quicker to get something running.
- European platforms — Hetzner, OVHcloud and UpCloud. Chosen for EU data protection and data sovereignty, or simply for price to performance.
Choosing between them
If your team already works on a particular platform, go straight to it; familiarity is worth more than a small price difference. If you are starting from nothing, the question that separates these options quickest is what you intend to run. A single application on one server points at the developer-first group. Managed databases, analytics or machine learning point at the hyperscale group. A legal requirement about where data sits points at the European group.
Two of our guides are built for exactly this decision: VPS or managed hosting: an honest comparison and A staged plan for moving to another cloud provider.
Before you order
Check the configuration, not just the provider. Within a single listing the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive option can be substantial, and the cheapest is not always the false economy it looks like. It is also worth reading How to read a cloud bill before your first month ends, and setting up Budget alerts that actually catch runaway spend on day one rather than after a surprise.
Account details are delivered once your order is complete. If you are unsure which configuration fits, ask before you buy — it is a much easier conversation than afterwards. The full library of cloud computing guides covers provider choice, cost, security and deployment in more depth.
