The indie cloud has always topped out at "medium." DigitalOcean's largest General Purpose droplet gives you 40 vCPUs and 160 GB RAM. Vultr maxes out around the same range. AWS Lightsail caps at 8 vCPUs before forcing migration to full EC2 complexity.
Today we're extending Hanzo Network into genuine enterprise territory with five new tiers, from Business (8 dedicated vCPU) to Ultra (96 dedicated vCPU, 384 GB RAM, 1.9 TB SSD).
The New Tiers
| Tier | vCPU | RAM | SSD | Transfer | Max VMs | Price/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business | 8 dedicated | 32 GB | 240 GB | 20 TB | 50 | $219 |
| Enterprise | 16 dedicated | 64 GB | 360 GB | 40 TB | 100 | $429 |
| Scale | 32 dedicated | 128 GB | 600 GB | 50 TB | 250 | $849 |
| Mega | 48 dedicated | 192 GB | 960 GB | 60 TB | 500 | $1,299 |
| Ultra | 96 dedicated | 384 GB | 1.9 TB | 120 TB | 1,000 | $3,999 |
Every tier includes DDoS protection, automated backups, IPv4/IPv6, and zero egress fees.
How This Compares
vs DigitalOcean General Purpose
| Config | Hanzo | DigitalOcean | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 vCPU / 32 GB | $219 | $240 | 9% |
| 16 vCPU / 64 GB | $429 | $480 | 11% |
| 32 vCPU / 128 GB | $849 | $960 | 12% |
| 48 vCPU / 192 GB | $1,299 | N/A (max 40 vCPU) | — |
| 96 vCPU / 384 GB | $3,999 | N/A | — |
At 32 vCPU and above, DigitalOcean simply doesn't compete. Their largest droplet is 40 vCPU / 160 GB at $1,200/mo. Our Mega tier gives 48 vCPU / 192 GB — 20% more compute with 92% more SSD — for $1,299.
vs AWS EC2
An AWS m7i.16xlarge (64 vCPU, 256 GB RAM) costs approximately $2,456/month on-demand in us-east-1 — and that's before storage, egress, and monitoring. Hanzo's Enterprise tier (16 vCPU / 64 GB) is $429. Even the Ultra tier at 96 vCPU is $3,999 — less than two m7i.16xlarge instances.
vs Vultr Optimized Cloud
| Config | Hanzo | Vultr | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 vCPU / 32 GB | $219 | $240 | 9% |
| 16 vCPU / 64 GB | $429 | $480 | 11% |
| 32 vCPU / 128 GB | $849 | $960 | 12% |
Vultr matches DigitalOcean's pricing almost exactly at these tiers. Hanzo undercuts both.
Who These Are For
Business ($219/mo) — Teams running production SaaS, multiple staging environments, or small service fleets. Up to 50 VMs.
Enterprise ($429/mo) — Mission-critical infrastructure requiring full CPU isolation. Multi-tenant platforms, regulated workloads, high-throughput APIs. Up to 100 VMs.
Scale ($849/mo) — Platform companies running hundreds of microservices across global regions. Container orchestration, service meshes, distributed databases. Up to 250 VMs.
Mega ($1,299/mo) — Maximum single-node power. ML inference at scale, large PostgreSQL or MongoDB instances, HPC workloads, real-time analytics. Up to 500 VMs.
Ultra ($3,999/mo) — Everything. Multi-node clusters for the most demanding workloads on Earth. AI training infrastructure, large-scale data processing, global CDN backends. Up to 1,000 VMs.
VM Fleet Management
The enterprise tiers aren't just bigger machines — they support larger fleets:
| Tier | Max VMs |
|---|---|
| Starter–Turbo | 1–25 |
| Business | 50 |
| Enterprise | 100 |
| Scale | 250 |
| Mega | 500 |
| Ultra | 1,000 |
