Best use cases for Hostiko

Hostiko is best suited for: Budget AI workloads, Eastern European teams, Short-term rentals. Support tiers range from Standard, making it viable for both individual researchers and enterprise teams with SLA requirements. There are currently 3 active GPU listings on Hostiko, covering RTX 4090, RTX 3090, A100 80GB. For workloads requiring the highest single-GPU throughput, H100 SXM5 instances with NVLink interconnect deliver the best performance per dollar at scale. For cost-sensitive fine-tuning or inference of models up to 13B parameters, A100 40GB or RTX 4090 instances typically offer the best value.

Hostiko billing model and cost structure

Hostiko uses On-demand pricing. On-demand instances are billed per second or per hour depending on the instance type, with no termination fees. Spot pricing is not currently available on this provider — all instances are on-demand. Reserved instance pricing, where available, can reduce costs by 30–60% for predictable long-running workloads. Always compare the effective hourly rate including egress, storage, and networking costs when evaluating total cost of ownership across providers.

Choosing the right GPU on Hostiko

GPU selection depends on model size, precision, and whether your workload is compute-bound or memory-bandwidth-bound. For LLM training above 30B parameters, H100 80GB SXM5 instances with NVLink are the standard choice — the 3,350 GB/s HBM3 bandwidth and 989 TFLOPS FP16 throughput make them 2–2.5× faster than A100 for transformer workloads. For inference of 7B–13B models in FP16 or BF16, A100 40GB offers the best cost-per-token on most providers. RTX 4090 instances are ideal for fine-tuning, prototyping, and quantized inference (INT4/INT8) of models up to 70B. Read the H100 vs A100 guide or the GPU benchmarks for ML guide for a full breakdown.

How Hostiko pricing data is collected

Prices shown are sourced from Hostiko's public pricing API or pricing page and refreshed every 15 minutes. On-demand rates reflect the current list price for a single GPU instance in the cheapest available region. Spot prices, where available, reflect interruptible instance rates at the time of the last snapshot. All prices are in USD per hour. Daily snapshots are retained for 90 days and visualised in the GPU price history charts — useful for identifying seasonal pricing patterns and evaluating whether current rates are above or below the 30-day average.
