The monthly pricing for Cloud server prices start at $5 per month for a small server with 1GB of RAM, 25GB SSD storage and 1 CPU core. This cost increases based on the amount of storage, bandwidth, CPU cores, and memory required for the server. A Cloud server with 128GB of RAM, 3TB of storage, and 24 CPU cores can cost as much as $650 per month. However, most businesses opt to setup many small Cloud servers running independent functions.

Cloud servers are great because they are only billed by the hour, so you only pay for the resources you need right now. If a server is online for 8 hours and destroyed, you only have to pay for the time you need and nothing more.

Another benefit of a clouding server is that it can be instantly scaled up at any time. Unlike a dedicated server where you need to predict your resource usage for months or years to come, with a cloud you only need to pay for the plan you need right now, which helps reduce costs.

Yes, Cloud servers are generally more expensive than equivalent resources on a dedicated or VPS server. That's because the resources on cloud hosting are considered high-availability and high-performance in that each component of a Cloud server is redundant across CPU, storage, and networking.

This means that when a node hosting a cloud server goes offline, the resources are automatically migrated to a new node automatically in order to minimize downtime.

As well, some of the increased cost of a cloud server is negated by the fact that you don't need to pay for unused resources and most people opt to create multiple cloud instances for increased redundancy rather than one single point of failure in a dedicated node.

Cloud servers are cheaper than dedicated servers as the cheapest cloud plan starts at $5/month and a dedicated server starts at $50/month generally. With a dedicated server, you pay the same monthly price regardless of whether the resources are being used or not. On cloud infrastructure, you only pay for what you need today and can pay by the hour or per month.
