Kamatera plans and prices

Preset cloud serversThe three preset servers Kamatera's pricing page shows by default under 'Recommended', at their monthly price in USD, with no contract. Kamatera mainly sells configurable servers: the same page's calculator builds any mix of CPU type, vCPUs, RAM and disk, billed monthly or by the minute on hourly servers. Traffic above the allowance is $0.01 per GB. The 5 TB traffic quota is monthly and counts traffic in both directions; servers in Hong Kong, Sydney, Tokyo and Singapore get 1 TB (Kamatera's FAQ).

01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

Configurable cloud servers from $4 a month (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 5 TB of traffic) in 21 data centres, billed monthly or by the minute, with a 30-day free trial of one server worth up to $100.

Consider something else if…

You want a simple traffic allowance or firm guarantees: the 5 TB counts traffic in both directions and falls to 1 TB in Asia, with $0.01 per GB beyond; the SLA is 99.9% with credits at Kamatera's discretion; backups are a paid add-on; and the trial needs a card.
