Hivelocity deploys fast too - but its servers start near $65/mo, meter you at 20 TB of transfer, and charge $25-$85/mo extra just for picking the wrong city. Server Room starts at $63/mo with truly unmetered ports and one price in every location.
Hivelocity does instant deployment well and runs a big edge network. The difference shows up on the bill: entry price, metered transfer and location surcharges.
Our entry, mid-range and performance builds lined up against the closest Hivelocity equivalents - and when Hivelocity has nothing in a class, the card says exactly that.
Where their instant catalog starts: two fewer cores and half the memory, for slightly more, on a metered port.
Unmetered ports cost extra.
Their biggest EPYC instant server - a dual-socket 128-core box; metered at 20 TB, +$25/mo in Los Angeles.
Hivelocity models, specs and prices as listed in its public instant-server catalog at hivelocity.net in July 2026; inventory-driven pricing changes frequently and some figures are promotional.
Both platforms deploy in minutes. The gap is in what's included once the server is yours.
