Cloudzy

What Cloudzy does

Cloudzy is an independent, self-funded cloud infrastructure provider founded in 2008 and headquartered in Dubai, UAE. The company operates 13 data center regions across North America (six), Europe (four), the Middle East (one), and Asia-Pacific (two) and serves a stated base of 122,000+ customers, primarily individual developers and small-to-medium businesses, with secondary use-case segments covering AI/ML workloads, forex and trading automation, gaming, and VPN/privacy applications. Reference customers visible on its website include the University of Toronto, University of Birmingham Dubai, Politecnico di Milano, and University of Washington Formula Motorsports, plus a long tail of SMB and individual users documented through Trustpilot reviews (4.7/5 across 755 reviews).

The core technology stack is consistent across all regions: AMD EPYC processors (with single-thread Geekbench 6 score of 2080 versus AWS at 1424, Vultr at 1380, DigitalOcean at 1188 per company benchmarks), DDR5 memory, pure NVMe storage, KVM virtualization with online resource hotplug, and 40 Gbps network uplinks on every plan tier. GPU VPS adds NVIDIA L4, L40S, and H100 accelerators with a pre-installed CUDA stack and per-second billing starting at $0.40/hour. A 1,000+ application One-Click App Marketplace, REST API, Terraform provider (cloudzy/cloudzy ~> 1.0), and CLI on GitHub support infrastructure-as-code workflows. The platform targets a median provisioning time of 42 seconds and a 99.95% uptime SLA, with DDoS protection, IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, dedicated IPv4, and crypto payment acceptance (BTC, XMR, USDT).

The business model is predominantly product-led growth via direct-to-consumer self-service through cloudzy.com, with sales-assisted engagement for enterprise and education inquiries. Revenue is generated from recurring VPS subscriptions (hourly/monthly/annual billing with annual discounts up to 50%), usage-based GPU compute, dedicated bare-metal servers (from $99/month), and add-ons such as floating IPs, additional snapshots, and custom ISO uploads. Pricing is transparently published: VPS plans range from $2.48/month (512 MB DDR5 sandbox) to $28.95/month (64 GB professional), with custom-configured VPS offerings above that. Cloudzy is privately held, founder-controlled, and has never accepted external investment or been acquired — a structural feature the company uses to differentiate on customer-aligned pricing rather than investor-aligned monetization.
