Microsoft SQL Server Pricing for VPS and Servers

A common question is the monthly cost of Microsoft Database pricing and what the differences are. These are our costs based on Microsoft’s Monthly Pricing Terms when you have a Virtual Private Server (VPS), Dedicated Server, or Managed Server in our Datacenter. This chart is a very high level overview on the pricing, CPU and Memory utilization of the different SQL Server versions and does not take into effect all of the different included features.
| Pricing | CPU | Max RAM | DB Size | |
| Microsoft SQL Express (Download) | Free | 1 CPU | 1 GB | 4 GB |
| Microsoft SQL 2008 Web | $20/mo | 4 CPU | None | None |
| Microsoft SQL 2008 Workgroup | $55/mo | 2 CPU | 4 GB | None |
| Microsoft SQL 2008 Standard | $220/mo | 4 CPU | None | None |
