More cloud than hosting
Use instances, private networks, volumes, backups, snapshots, load balancers, and autoscaling instead of managing everything manually.
Compare
Compare redu.cloud with other cloud options.
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Hetzner: all of them hand you the infrastructure and leave the deploying and the upkeep to you. On redu, you point your AI agent at a repo and it deploys to a real EU cloud, fixes it for you when something breaks, and runs the day-to-day ops for you. Here is how that compares, provider by provider.
Good fit forstartups
Teams that need real cloud infrastructure without starting with hyperscaler-level complexity.
The proof
We ran the same deployment on redu.cloud, AWS, Vercel and Railway.
One AI agent, one privacy-first job, four platforms, side by side. The full videos, the honest verdicts, and the raw agent transcripts.

FAQ
Comparison questions
A few useful notes before reading individual comparison pages.
Is redu.cloud trying to replace AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud?
Not for every use case. Large cloud platforms are extremely broad. redu.cloud focuses on core cloud infrastructure for startups that need to move fast without unnecessary complexity.
Is redu.cloud more like a VPS provider?
redu.cloud includes familiar cloud building blocks such as private networks, volumes, backups, snapshots, load balancers, API access, and autoscaling. It is intended to be more than basic server rental.
Should I choose the cheapest provider?
Sometimes, yes. But the cheapest server is not always the lowest-cost infrastructure once you include setup time, operations, backups, networking, scaling, and maintenance.
How should I use the comparison pages?
Use them as a decision guide. Start with your workload, your team size, your budget, and how much operational complexity you are willing to manage.
