About AI hosting

The order only changes with the sort you choose.

Which kind of AI hosting do you need?

Not compared here: website builders with AI features, AI assistants inside hosting control panels and renting out your own GPU. They are different products.

GPU cloud

Rent GPUs by the second or hour for training, fine-tuning and batch jobs.

8 providers with verified dataCompare GPU cloud providers

Inference hosting

Serve models to users on serverless GPUs, dedicated instances or managed endpoints.

9 providers with verified dataCompare inference hosting

AI agent hosting

Keep agents such as OpenClaw or Hermes Agent running 24/7 with persistent storage.

6 providers with verified dataCompare AI agent hosting

AI VPS

A virtual server with root access for agents, automation and small CPU models.

4 providers with verified dataCompare AI VPS plans

Private AI hosting

Self-hosted models and data in regions you choose, including EU-only setups.

How we compare

  1. Prices per GPU-hour.

    GPU prices are USD per single GPU per hour from the provider's own pricing page or API. Multi-GPU nodes are divided by their GPU count, and a price only rented as a node says so (“rented as 8 GPUs”). Rows lead with the cheapest pay-as-you-go price (on-demand, secure, community or serverless). A spot, reserved or marketplace price leads only when the provider has no pay-as-you-go price here, or when you filter by that billing; it is labelled with its price type and listed in its own group after pay-as-you-go prices, never ranked against them. Prices exclude VAT and sales tax.
  2. Not verified means not verified.

    When no official source confirms a value we show “Not verified” instead of an estimate. Where a provider's terms do not allow its prices to be republished, we link to its live pricing instead.
  3. Freshness on every row.

    Updated today: checked on the current day (UTC). Fresh: up to 7 days. Stale: up to 30 days. Needs refresh: older than that.
  4. No paid placement.

    Results only change order with the sort you pick. Affiliate relationships never affect order, filters or which providers appear.

Filters match a provider when one of its listed offers meets every GPU, VRAM, region, price and billing-increment condition together. Spot, reserved and serverless billing list each provider that offers that pricing and show only prices on that basis, or “not verified” when we have none.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI hosting?

Infrastructure for running AI workloads: GPU instances for training and inference, serverless or managed inference endpoints, and servers that keep agents online. It is not the same as web hosting with AI features in a site builder, which this site does not compare.

Which AI hosting platform is the best?

It depends on the workload. Short GPU jobs benefit from per-second billing, always-on agents fit a VPS or a managed agent host, and EU data residency narrows the list to providers with EU regions. We do not score providers: filter the list for your case and sort by verified price, freshness or name.

Is hosting your own AI worth it?

It depends on how much you use it. A hosted model API charges per request and needs no servers; a GPU or VPS you rent costs money every hour it runs. Self-hosting tends to pay off with steady usage, strict data-location needs or models the APIs do not offer. The GPU Cost Calculator estimates the hardware side from verified prices.

Can I host my own AI?

Yes. Open-weight models run with runtimes such as Ollama or vLLM on a rented GPU server, and small quantised models also run on a CPU server. Agents such as OpenClaw or Hermes Agent run on a VPS and call either a model API or your own model.

Are prices per GPU or per instance?

Per GPU. Every GPU price is shown in USD per single GPU per hour; offers for multi-GPU nodes are divided by the number of GPUs, and a price you can only rent as a whole node says so (for example “rented as 8 GPUs”). Storage, data transfer and taxes are not included unless the provider includes them.

Why do some values say “Not verified”?

We only show a value when an official provider source confirms it. If we could not confirm a price or feature, the row says “Not verified” instead of showing an estimate, and the provider page lists the sources we did check.
