Questions

Cheapest EU-hosted cloud providers in 2026?
Bunny CDN from bunny.net — $0.01/GB egress. Scaleway Object Storage is second at $0.0109/GB egress. This ranking is specific to the workload described above; a different usage shape reorders it.
How is this ranking weighted?
Providers headquartered in the EU, ranked by entry price. Headquarters is a proxy for billing entity and default region, not a compliance guarantee — verify the actual region and the data-processing agreement before relying on it.
Why does this differ from the general cheapest list?
Because a single price axis never describes a real workload. Ranking by headline rate answers "who is cheapest per unit"; this page answers "who is cheapest for this job", and the two orders are often very different — which is the whole reason it exists as a separate table.
What is not accounted for?
Committed-use discounts, regional price variation, per-request charges, support plans, and minimum retention. These are published list prices applied to one stated workload — a shortlist to price properly with the vendor, not a quotation.
