Why Teams Switch from Vultr to Host-C
EUR Pricing — No FX Volatility
Vultr bills in USD. For European businesses, that means unpredictable costs when EUR/USD fluctuates. Host-C bills in EUR — your invoice is always a fixed, known euro amount.
25% More Storage
200 GB NVMe vs 160 GB on Vultr's 8 GB plan — at less than a third of the price. More headroom for databases, application data, and backups.
Free Backup Included
Vultr's automated backups are an optional paid add-on. Host-C includes one backup slot in every plan at no cost.
Own Network — AS211462
Host-C operates its own Autonomous System for direct routing. Vultr uses third-party upstream carriers, which adds routing hops that Host-C avoids.
Romania — Eastern EU Coverage
Oradea, Romania sits at the crossroads of Central and Eastern Europe. Ideal latency for users in Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Turkey, and the Middle East.
Annual Plans Save ~20%
Prepay annually and save approximately 20% on all plans. Vultr does not offer annual discounts — you pay full price every month.
