Connect an account and Nuvlo creates servers directly in it, at the provider’s own price. Compare what each one costs, where it can put your sites and what it is good at.
Pick a size and every provider lines up at its cheapest plan that fits, list price per month before VAT. Point at a logo for the plan.

From the plan lists Nuvlo uses when it creates servers. Exoscale reads its prices live from exoscale.com, so it isn’t shown. Euro and dollar prices stay apart and aren’t converted.
Choose what matters to you. Providers that don’t offer it step back, and the others say why they fit.

Most providers bill only the hours a server exists. Contabo bills whole months. Drag to see what a short-lived server costs.
Create a key in your provider’s console and paste it into Nuvlo. Nuvlo checks it with the provider before it is saved, and stores it encrypted.
Most providers need one API token. Contabo, Scaleway, Exoscale and AWS need a few values, and Google Cloud a service account key file. Each provider’s page says where to find them.
Which provider should I pick?
For sites with visitors in Europe, Hetzner has the lowest entry prices, and Contabo gives the most memory per euro on monthly contracts. If your visitors are elsewhere, pick a provider with a region near them; DigitalOcean, Vultr and Linode cover four continents at flat prices. Choose AWS or Google Cloud when your company already uses them or has credits there.
Can I use more than one provider?
Yes. Connect as many accounts as you like, from any of the ten. Servers from all of them sit in one list, and a WordPress site can be copied to a server on another provider.
Does Nuvlo add anything to the provider’s price?
No. Servers are created in your own account and your provider bills you directly at its list price. Nuvlo’s plan is a separate, flat monthly price.
Which providers keep data in the EU?
Hetzner (Germany, Finland), Scaleway (France, Netherlands, Poland) and Exoscale (Austria, Germany, Switzerland and others in Europe) are European companies. The others also offer European regions; pick one when you create the server.
What do backups cost?
Nuvlo’s own backups go to your storage bucket, so you pay only for the storage. On Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr and Linode you can also switch on the provider’s automatic server backups, billed as a share of the server price. Snapshots work on all ten; each provider’s page shows what they cost.
Can I bring a server I already have?
Yes. Connect any Ubuntu server with its own public IP address over SSH with one command, from any host. On Hetzner and Contabo you can instead reinstall an existing server as a fresh Nuvlo server; that wipes it, so back it up first.
Which operating system do servers run?
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by default; 22.04 and 26.04 LTS are supported too. Nuvlo installs nginx, the runtimes your sites need, a firewall, fail2ban and automatic security updates.
Your first server and site are free, with no card and no time limit. Connect a provider token and Nuvlo starts building it.
