Apr 30, 2025 - 2 min read

At Rumble Cloud, we’re excited to announce our new shared vCPU offering, designed to deliver high-performance cloud computing at an accessible price point. Starting with our Developer Tier at under $10 per month ($4.85 a month for a limited time!), this solution is ideal for developers, small businesses, and innovative projects seeking cost-effective cloud resources.

Understanding Shared vCPUs

Shared vCPUs represent a modern approach to cloud computing, where virtual CPU resources are efficiently distributed among multiple users. This model provides an optimal balance between performance and cost-effectiveness for workloads that don’t require constant high- performance resources.

Shared vs. Dedicated vCPUs: A Comparative Analysis
