Los Angeles is the westernmost node in SurferCloud's global footprint and the company's primary landing point for traffic entering from the Pacific. It sits in the Americas group alongside Washington and Sao Paulo, and it carries one distinction no other node carries: it is the only location with a dedicated high-bandwidth line built for burst traffic, and it is the cheapest of the three Americas nodes for practically every plan that varies by region.
What follows is the complete purchasable inventory for Los Angeles on this refresh — ten separate promotions, each with its own price table, all read from the live promotion pages. Prices are stated in US dollars. Where a promotion prices the same on every node, it is marked as covering Los Angeles at the standard rate rather than presented as something unique to this data centre.
UHost is the elastic compute line: dedicated vCPU, dedicated bandwidth, and unmetered traffic on every tier. Prices here do vary by node, and Los Angeles carries the lowest list price of the three Americas locations. The promotion runs two tabs: a New User Deal, limited to new customers with renewal at the regular price, and an All Users Save tab open to all customers with the renewal price locked. The table below is the New User Deal pricing for Los Angeles.
| CPU & RAM | Bandwidth | Traffic | Sale price | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 1/2Mbps | Unmetered | $6.9/mo | $20.38/mo |
| 2C 4G | 2/5Mbps | Unmetered | $10.9/mo | $28.99/mo |
| 4C 8G | 2/5Mbps | Unmetered | $18.9/mo | $51.18/mo |
| 8C 16G | 5/10Mbps | Unmetered | $36.9/mo | $105.76/mo |
| 16C 32G | 5/10Mbps | Unmetered | $68.9/mo | $194.53/mo |
The Windows VPS promotion applies a free, genuine Windows Server licence with no setup fee, and it is one of the promotions whose pricing is set per node. Los Angeles is the cheapest Windows node in the Americas group, with the 2C 2G tier at $9.17/mo. Every tier ships with a 40GB system disk.
| CPU & RAM | Disk | Bandwidth | System | Sale price | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 40G | 1/2 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $9.17/mo | $20.38/mo |
| 2C 4G | 40G | 2/5 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $13.04/mo | $28.99/mo |
| 4C 8G | 40G | 2/5/10 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $23.03/mo | $51.18/mo |
| 8C 16G | 40G | 5/10/20 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $47.59/mo | $105.76/mo |
| 16C 32G | 40G | 5/10/20 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $87.54/mo | $194.53/mo |
The trial promotion exists so a workload can be measured before it is bought, and it is priced per node. Los Angeles is the cheapest trial node in the Americas group, with the 2C 2G plan at $1.9 for three days. Each tier is quoted twice — once for a three-day block and once for a seven-day block — and both columns are shown below. The offer is limited to one participation per customer and one unit per purchase, and the price reverts to the regular rate once the trial window ends.
| CPU & RAM | Bandwidth | Traffic | 3-day sale | 3-day list | 7-day sale | 7-day list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 5/10Mbps | Unmetered | $1.9 | $5.08 | $3.9 | $11.88 |
| 2C 4G | 10/20Mbps | Unmetered | $4.9 | $12.24 | $6.9 | $28.58 |
| 4C 8G | 20/50Mbps | Unmetered | $5.9 | $28.32 | $10.9 | $66.10 |
| 8C 16G | 50/100Mbps | Unmetered | $14.9 | $73.23 | $24.9 | $170.88 |
Hourly billing is the same across every node except Hong Kong, which is priced lower. At Los Angeles the entry configuration bills at $0.07 per instance-hour with dedicated CPU and dedicated bandwidth on every tier, and the system disk is free up to 40GB. Hourly rates are not discounted — the promotion page states this explicitly and points at the monthly deals for savings — so this section is the right purchase only for workloads that do not run continuously.
| CPU & RAM | Bandwidth (Mbps) | Traffic | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.07 |
| 2C 4G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.08 |
| 4C 8G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.16 |
| 8C 16G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.31 |
| 16C 32G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.61 |
This is the one promotion on the page that belongs to Los Angeles and nowhere else. The high-bandwidth line is hosted in the American Los Angeles data centre, the test IP published on the page is 165.154.235.53, and the product is aimed at burst traffic and bandwidth-intensive workloads: 200Mbps on every tier with no fixed traffic allowance rather than a metered quota. Three configurations are offered.
| Tier | CPU / RAM | Disk | Bandwidth | Sale price | List price | Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 2 vCPU / 1GB RAM | 30GB NVMe | 200Mbps, no fixed traffic | $4.25/mo | $5.00/mo | 15% |
| Growth | 2 vCPU / 2GB RAM | 40GB NVMe | 200Mbps, no fixed traffic | $5.25/mo | $7.50/mo | 30% |
| Pro | 2 vCPU / 4GB RAM | 50GB NVMe | 200Mbps, no fixed traffic | $8.05/mo | $11.50/mo | 30% |
The bundled cloud server promotion carries a striking list-to-sale gap, and like UHost it is priced per node. This same offer is reachable from two landing pages, /promos/cloudserver and /promos/combine, which display the identical table; the seven tiers below are the Los Angeles pricing once, not twice. Unlimited transfer and a 30 Mbps port come with every row.
| CPU & RAM | Disk | Transfer | Bandwidth | Sale price | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1C 2G | 40G | Unlimited | 30 Mbps | $28.01/mo | $239.63/mo |
| 2C 2G | 60G | Unlimited | 30 Mbps | $32.81/mo | $249.22/mo |
| 2C 4G | 80G | Unlimited | 30 Mbps | $36.78/mo | $257.17/mo |
| 4C 4G | 100G | Unlimited | 30 Mbps | $44.04/mo | $271.69/mo |
| 4C 8G | 120G | Unlimited | 30 Mbps | $50.62/mo | $284.84/mo |
| 8C 16G | 120G | Unlimited | 30 Mbps | $72.81/mo | $329.22/mo |
| 16C 32G | 120G | Unlimited | 30 Mbps | $117.19/mo | $417.99/mo |
The ULightHost lightweight line is the cheapest way onto the platform, and its card pricing is the same on every node, so Los Angeles is covered at the standard rate rather than at a node-specific discount. Eight cards are shown, mixing monthly tiers with one annual tier and two multiple-configuration options. The difference between UHost and ULightHost matters more than the price gap here: ULightHost is a fixed-configuration appliance with 30M bandwidth, not an elastic instance.
| Tier | CPU / RAM | Disk | Outbound traffic | Sale price | List price | Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 1vCPU / 2GB | 40GB NVMe | 1TB | $2.9/mo | $7.5/mo | 62% |
| Starter | 2vCPU / 2GB | 60GB NVMe | 2TB | $3.9/mo | $9.5/mo | 59% |
| Lite | 1vCPU / 2GB | 40GB NVMe | 1TB | $6.75/mo | $7.5/mo | 10% |
| Starter | 2vCPU / 2GB | 60GB NVMe | 2TB | $7.6/mo | $9.5/mo | 20% |
| Standard | 2vCPU / 4GB | 80GB NVMe | 3TB | $10.4/mo | $13/mo | 20% |
| Plus | 4vCPU / 4GB | 100GB NVMe | 3TB | $19.5/mo | $26/mo | 25% |
| Ultimate | 4vCPU / 8GB | 120GB NVMe | 4TB | $24/mo | $32/mo | 25% |
| Lite | 1vCPU / 1GB | 40GB NVMe | 200GB | $9.9/year | $48/year | 80% |
The annual promotion covers ULightHost and UHost on monthly, 6-month, and annual cycles, and its Lite Server table prices identically at every node. The ten annual rows below are worth reading as a set: the sale column is exactly half the list column on every single row, and mixed CPUs are unavailable — a 1-core plan cannot be upgraded later. Ten traffic tiers are offered, from 200GB to 4096GB.
| CPU | RAM | Disk | Traffic | Sale price | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1C | 1G | 40G | 200GB | $24.00/year | $48.00/year |
| 1C | 1G | 40G | 1024GB | $33.00/year | $66.00/year |
| 1C | 2G | 40G | 400GB | $36.00/year | $72.00/year |
| 1C | 2G | 40G | 1024GB | $45.00/year | $90.00/year |
| 2C | 2G | 60G | 600GB | $42.00/year | $84.00/year |
| 2C | 2G | 60G | 2048GB | $57.00/year | $114.00/year |

| 2C | 4G | 80G | 3072GB | $78.00/year | $156.00/year |
| 4C | 4G | 100G | 3072GB | $156.00/year | $312.00/year |
| 4C | 8G | 120G | 4096GB | $192.00/year | $384.00/year |
The entry-level card promotion starts at $1/mo and prices the same on every node, Los Angeles included. Four cards are listed, each capped at 30M bandwidth with one dedicated IPv4 address. As with the other new-user tiers on this page, the headline price applies to the first billing period and the card auto-renews at the regular price.
| Tier | CPU / RAM | Disk | Sale price | List price | Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 1vCPU / 1GB | 40GB NVMe | $1/mo | $4/mo | 75% |
| Starter | 1vCPU / 2GB | 40GB NVMe | $1.9/mo | $6/mo | 68% |
| Plus | 2vCPU / 2GB | 60GB NVMe | $2.9/mo | $7/mo | 59% |
| Ultimate | 2vCPU / 4GB | 80GB NVMe | $3.9/mo | $9/mo | 57% |
The quant line is built for algorithmic trading and Web3 workloads: nodes are placed within 100km of the major exchanges, 25G plus RDMA networking is used, and the company positions the network as directly connected to exchange and blockchain RPC endpoints. This table also prices identically at every node, so Los Angeles is available at the standard rate. Six configurations are listed, the smallest starting at $15.49/mo.
| CPU | RAM | Disk | Bandwidth | Sale price | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1C | 2G | 40G | 1/2 M | $15.49/mo | $19.37/mo |
| 2C | 2G | 40G | 1/2 M | $24.19/mo | $30.24/mo |
| 2C | 4G | 40G | 2/5 M | $33.45/mo | $41.81/mo |
| 4C | 8G | 40G | 2/5/10 M | $61.46/mo | $76.82/mo |
| 8C | 16G | 40G | 5/10/20 M | $125.64/mo | $157.05/mo |
| 16C | 32G | 40G | 5/10/20 M | $237.68/mo | $297.10/mo |
Several conditions are stated on the promotion pages themselves and apply regardless of which plan is purchased:
Each promotion has its own purchase page, and each link below carries the Los Angeles offer set:
Two companion reads are worth pairing with this page before choosing a tier. Five measurements to take before buying a cloud server covers how to size the instance rather than guess at it, and hourly versus monthly billing works out which of the two Los Angeles purchasing paths — the hourly meter or the monthly promotion — is cheaper for a given workload profile. For the network side, choosing a region by latency floor explains what Los Angeles can and cannot deliver to a given audience, and the latency budget behind a game server is the practical reason this node sits where it does for Pacific-facing traffic.
