For Startups

Launch on infrastructure that grows with you.

Skip the big-cloud complexity. Greybull gives you simple, affordable European infrastructure — so you can focus on building your product, not deciphering your cloud bill.

Sound familiar?

The cloud was supposed to make things easier. For startups, it often doesn't.

Pricing calculators and surprise bills

You need a spreadsheet just to estimate your monthly cost. Then the invoice arrives and it's 40% higher because of egress, load balancers, and charges you never saw coming.

Over-engineered for simple needs

You want to run a few VMs and a database. Instead you're choosing between 14 instance types, 6 storage tiers, and 3 networking modes. Your MVP doesn't need this.

Invisible to support

Spending a few hundred per month doesn't get you a dedicated account manager at AWS. When something breaks, you're on your own with a chatbot and a knowledge base.


Infrastructure that makes sense at your stage.

We built Greybull for teams that want reliable European infrastructure without the overhead.

Start small, start cheap

VMs from €4.99/month. No minimum spend, no annual commits. Pay only for what you use and keep your burn rate under control.

Scale as you grow

Add CPU, memory, or storage without re-architecting. Upgrade a VM in minutes, spin up new ones when traffic demands it. No migration projects.

No surprise bills

Flat pricing you can actually predict. No egress fees within the EU, no bandwidth charges. What you see on the pricing page is what you pay.

GDPR as a selling point

When your customers ask where their data lives, you can say: Dutch datacenters, European company, fully GDPR compliant. That wins enterprise deals.

Direct support from engineers

Call us and talk to someone who can actually fix your problem. No support tiers, no ticket queues. We treat every customer like they matter — because they do.

No lock-in, ever

Standard Linux VMs. SSH access. No proprietary APIs or formats. If you outgrow us or change direction, you can move freely. We'd rather earn your loyalty than trap you.


From idea to production in minutes.

No sales calls required. No week-long provisioning. Just infrastructure.

Questions startups ask us.

For straightforward workloads — a few VMs running your app, database, and background workers — we're significantly cheaper. No egress fees, no bandwidth charges, no surprise line items. You pay a flat monthly rate per VM. For startups that don't need 50+ managed services, the savings are real.

Absolutely. You get standard Linux VMs with full root access. Install Docker, run Docker Compose, set up a k3s cluster — whatever your stack needs. It's your machine, run it however you want.

Our pricing is already designed to be startup-friendly — VMs start at €4.99/month. We don't do artificial credits that expire or lock you in. That said, if you're an early-stage startup with specific needs, get in touch. We're always open to working something out.

Upgrade your VM to a larger plan or spin up additional VMs — both take minutes. No re-architecting, no migration projects. If you outgrow our largest offerings, we'll help you plan the next step honestly, even if that means recommending a different provider.

Yes. Use GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any CI/CD tool that can SSH into a server. Deploy via rsync, Docker, Ansible — whatever fits your workflow. There's nothing proprietary to work around.

Of course. Spin up a smaller VM for staging at €4.99/month and a larger one for production. Each VM is completely isolated. Most startups we work with run at least two environments from day one.
