Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest cloudscale.ch server cost?+
The entry plan, listed as 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 10 GB NVMe (Flex-4-1), starts at CHF 1.10. That is well below the site entry price median of €5.83 across the brands tracked. The server type on offer is vps.
Is there an introductory price separate from the renewal price?+
Billing models here cover per second and hourly, so the same rate applies from the first hour onwards rather than a low introductory price that steps up later. The pricing model is hourly, and a committed reserved rate is not among the options listed.
How much does data transfer out cost?+
Outbound traffic comes with every server: 100 GB free traffic per 24 hours with every cloud server. Beyond that allowance, 100 GB free per 24 hours included, then CHF 2 per 100 GB applies, so the per GB rate is CHF 0.02 and heavier users pay more once the free window is used up.
Where can I run servers?+
Regions listed are CH, and the count is 2, which places it near the bottom of the site location ranking at 177. Users on other continents will notice extra latency, so pick it when your audience sits in or near Switzerland.
Is the security side properly certified?+
Yes, the certifications are in place: compliance certifications held are ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018. The legal entity behind the service is cloudscale.ch AG, headquartered in Switzerland, and it has operated since 2016, with an uptime commitment of 99.99% on the servers it sells.
What can I do with the GPU hardware?+
GPU models available are NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Max Q, with GPU hours from CHF 4.10 and per-second billing. That starting rate is above the site median of €0.63, so budget accordingly. Egress terms match the server terms.
What storage options are included?+
Storage types offered are object, and the object storage service is S3-compatible. Pricing runs at CHF 0.03 per GB per month, which is above the site median of €0.01. There is a minimum storage period of 1.
How do I reach support?+
