[See VPS plans](https://cubepath.com/vps) FAQ ## DigitalOcean vs CubePath The questions we hear most from people making the switch. Is CubePath really cheaper than DigitalOcean? Yes. For comparable vCPU and RAM, CubePath's General Purpose servers cost considerably less than an equivalent DigitalOcean Basic Droplet. For example, a 2 vCPU / 4 GB server is $9.61/mo on CubePath versus $24/mo on DigitalOcean, with a dedicated IPv4 on both sides. See the live [VPS plans](https://cubepath.com/vps) for the full lineup. Are the specs really comparable? We match vCPU and RAM tier for tier. On most plans CubePath also includes more bandwidth and uses AMD EPYC CPUs with NVMe SSD storage. Disk sizes vary slightly between providers, but you can pick the exact configuration you need. How much bandwidth is included? Every server ships with a generous monthly transfer allowance, from 3 TB on the entry plan up to 20 TB and beyond on larger servers, typically 2–3× what a comparable Droplet includes. Where are your data centers? CubePath runs data centers in Barcelona (EU), plus Houston and Miami in the US, so you get genuine EU data residency alongside low-latency US coverage. Can I migrate my DigitalOcean Droplet? Yes. You move it yourself with the tools you already use: deploy a CubePath VPS, copy your data over from a snapshot, a backup or a plain `rsync` between servers, test it, and point your DNS at the new server. Do you offer hourly billing like DigitalOcean? Yes. Servers are billed per hour with a monthly cap, so you can spin resources up and down on demand and never pay more than the listed monthly rate. Is DDoS protection included? Always-on, network-level DDoS protection is included with every CubePath server at no additional cost. How do I get started?
