Black Friday 2026 is on Friday, 27 November. Cloud hosting is the type of hosting with the fewest Black Friday sales: many big cloud providers, like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode and Hetzner, showed no Black Friday deal at all last year and rely on free credits for new users instead. As of 21 October 2026, Hostinger’s managed cloud hosting is already up to 77% off for Black Friday, and its Cloud Startup plan is $6.39 a month with our extra 20% off coupon code HARSHILBAROT. ScalaHosting also has Black Friday prices live on its managed cloud plans. Below, we cover 14 cloud hosts: last year’s deal, today’s cheapest plan, and any free credit.
Every price and date comes from the provider’s own website, blog or docs, or from archived copies of its pages. We checked them on 21 October 2026. Prices are in US dollars unless we say otherwise and are before tax.

Managed cloud hosting vs cloud servers
“Cloud hosting” means two different things. Managed cloud hosting (Hostinger Cloud, Cloudways, ScalaHosting, SiteGround Cloud) gives you a control panel and support, and the host runs the server for you. Cloud servers (DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, Hetzner, Kamatera) are raw virtual machines billed by the hour or month: cheaper, but you set up and secure everything yourself. Black Friday deals are far more common on the managed side.
1. Hostinger Cloud Black Friday deal
Status: live now. Hostinger’s cloud hosting page says “Up to 77% off”, and its Black Friday sale runs from 19 October to 14 December 2026. Black Friday buyers also get double AI credits (2,000 instead of 1,000). With our partner discount, the price on 21 October 2026 was:
- Cloud Startup: 4 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe, unlimited websites, a dedicated IP and daily backups. $6.39 a month on a 48-month term ($306.72), renewing at $25.99. It is fully managed.
See our Hostinger review and Hostinger coupon code guide.
2. ScalaHosting Black Friday cloud deal
Status: live now. ScalaHosting’s managed cloud page already shows Black Friday badges of 59% to 71% off, plus an extra 25% on annual terms. Entry Cloud (2 cores, 2 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe) is $11.21 a month for 12 months, renewing at $39.95. Build #1 (2 cores, 4 GB RAM) is $22.46 a month for 12 months, renewing at $54.95. Last year’s promo ran from 30 October to 1 December 2025, with managed cloud up to 80% off.
3. Cloudways Black Friday deal
Status: not announced. Cloudways is managed cloud hosting on servers from DigitalOcean and others. Its 2025 deal was 50% off for 3 months on all plans plus 50 free migrations, with code BFCM5050, from 11 November to 4 December 2025. Today, Flexible on DigitalOcean Standard (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB) is $11 a month billed hourly, and code SAVE303 gives new customers 30% off for 3 months. See our Cloudways review.
4. Liquid Web Black Friday cloud deal
Status: not announced. In late November 2025, Liquid Web’s pricing page said “Black Friday is here! Save up to 50%”. Cloud VPS with 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM was $8.50 a month (was $17) for 3 months, and bare metal cloud started at $44 a month (was $88) for 3 months. Today, the same Cloud VPS is $8.50 a month for the first 2 months, then $17, and Cloud Dedicated is listed “starting at $44.50 a month, up to 50% off 2 months”.
5. HostArmada Black Friday cloud deal
Status: not announced. HostArmada’s 2025 Black Friday offer was 50% off cloud servers from $29.95 a month, on the first monthly billing term.

6. InMotion Cloud Black Friday deal
Status: not announced. InMotion Cloud is new in 2026; it wasn’t sold during Black Friday 2025. Right now, code SAVE50 gives half off the first month of InMotion Cloud plans until 30 October 2026. The cheapest plan, Explorer (24 vCPU, 82 GB RAM, 1.7 TB storage, managed), is $399 a month at a flat monthly rate, so this is cloud for larger businesses.
7. OVHcloud Black Friday deal
Status: not announced. OVHcloud ran a “Black Friday 2025” sale from 18 November to 9 December 2025, with “up to 50% off”, mostly on dedicated servers and RAM upgrades. For cloud, it offered free credits: $200 with code FREETRIAL and $400 for Managed Rancher with code RANCHER400. Today, its cheapest Public Cloud instance (1 vCore, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB) costs up to $6.74 a month billed hourly, and its Public Cloud free trial gives $200 of credit for one month.
8. Contabo Black Friday deal
Status: coming soon. Contabo’s Black Friday page says its deals are “coming soon”, with no dates. Its 2025 blog post promised lifetime discounts and lower location fees but gave no figures. Today, Cloud VPS 4 (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD) is from $6.60 a month, the effective rate on a 24-month term.
9. Kamatera Black Friday deal
Status: not announced. We found no official Kamatera Black Friday deal for 2025. Its Basic cloud server (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe) is $4 a month, billed monthly or hourly, and it offers a 30-day free trial worth up to $100, which needs a credit card.
10. DigitalOcean Black Friday deal
Status: no Black Friday deal last year. DigitalOcean’s homepage and Droplet pricing page from 28 November 2025 show no sale. Its cheapest Basic Droplet (1 vCPU, 512 MiB RAM, 10 GiB SSD) is $4 a month. New users now get a $5 signup credit that lasts 90 days.
11. Vultr Black Friday deal
Status: no Black Friday deal last year. Vultr’s homepage from 28 November 2025 shows no sale. Its cheapest Cloud Compute plan is $2.50 a month, but that one is IPv6-only; with an IPv4 address the same plan is $3.50, and the cheapest plan with 1 GB RAM is $5. Vultr’s promo page has offered up to $250 of free credit for new users.
12. Akamai (Linode) Black Friday deal
Status: no Black Friday deal last year. Linode’s homepage and pricing page from late November 2025 show normal prices. Its cheapest Nanode (1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB) is $5 a month. New customers can get $100 of credit that lasts 60 days.
13. Hetzner Cloud Black Friday deal
Status: no Black Friday deal last year. Hetzner’s pages from late November 2025 show no sale. Hetzner prices in euros: its Cost-Optimized CX23 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe) is listed at €5.99 a month before VAT, but it was marked “not available” when we checked, and the Regular Performance line starts at €6.49. Billing is hourly with a monthly cap.
14. SiteGround Cloud Black Friday deal
Status: not announced. We couldn’t verify whether SiteGround discounted its cloud plans last Black Friday. Its fully managed Cloud Jump Start plan (4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD) is $100 a month, billed monthly.
Free cloud credits: an alternative to Black Friday
If you want a raw cloud server, a free credit can be worth more than a Black Friday discount. Here are the new-user offers we found on official pages:
- Vultr: up to $250 of free credit.
- OVHcloud: $200 of Public Cloud credit for a one-month trial.
- Akamai (Linode): $100 of credit for 60 days.
- Kamatera: a 30-day free trial worth up to $100.
- DigitalOcean: $5 of signup credit for 90 days.
Credits are for new accounts, usually need a payment method and expire after a set time, so read the terms first.
How to pick a Black Friday cloud hosting deal
- Decide managed or unmanaged. Managed cloud costs more but runs the server for you.
- Compare CPU and RAM. Hostinger Cloud Startup has 4 cores and 4 GB; a $4 server may have 512 MB.
- Check the renewal price. Hostinger Cloud Startup renews at $25.99 a month and ScalaHosting Entry Cloud at $39.95.
- Check how you’re billed. Hourly billing is flexible; long prepaid terms give lower monthly prices.
- Pick a nearby data centre. Closer servers load faster for your visitors.

For managed cloud, Hostinger Cloud Startup is $6.39 a month on a 48-month term with our extra 20% off code, for 4 cores and 4 GB RAM. For raw cloud servers, free credits from Vultr, OVHcloud or Linode may be worth more than any discount.
Is cloud hosting better than VPS hosting?

Yes. Our partner discount covers the first term of any new Hostinger plan. On 21 October 2026, it brought Cloud Startup to $6.39 a month on a 48-month term.
