Why We Reject Cloud Overcharging: The True Economics of Modern Hosting

Legacy hyperscalers charge 5x to 10x markups for basic network egress and compute memory. Here is how NodexVPS delivers enterprise hardware at honest prices.

Why We Reject Cloud Overcharging: The True Economics of Modern Hosting

The Hyperscaler Egress Trap

For years, the large legacy cloud providers operated on a simple playbook: offer frictionless signups, and then bill exorbitant rates for basic egress data transfer (charging between $0.08 and $0.12 per gigabyte). A business serving just 10 TB of monthly media or API payload easily accrues upwards of $1,000 in bandwidth fees alone.

At NodexVPS, our perspective is clear: transit bandwidth in modern Tier-1 carrier exchanges is a solved commodity.

Fast Routes in Every Location

Every location has short routes to major internet exchanges such as DE-CIX and AMS-IX, so traffic reaches consumer ISPs without per-gigabyte tollbooths.

This enables us to provide unmetered 10 Gbps uplinks included by default on our Cloud VPS and Global VPS offerings.

Pricing Without Hidden Margins

NodexVPS automates provisioning, KVM templates and network filtering from end to end, and passes the savings on to developers as simple, flat monthly prices.
