what are Windows cloud GPU options in 2026?
Hello,
I’ve been enjoying Paperspace instances (A4000 these days) for a while. However, since a week, I had catastrophic storage performances. I suspect they started virtualizing Windows (since they announced dropping support for new users).
Can someone suggest an alternative?
Here are my criterias:
support for Windows templates
no upfront cost (210€ upfront on Akamai, 100€ for OVH, seriously for 0.8$/h instances!)
available in EU
GPU models appropriate for gaming
affordable prices, I’m currently paying 0.8$/h + 11$ for monthly storage (500GB SSD + one snapshot)

The cloud is somebody else’s computer. You have no idea if that person is honest or what their intentions are with your data and your money and even you. For the most part, most of them have shown bad intentions with cloud computing, as in you will own noting and you will rent everything. It leads us all closer to being enslaved. If you have no other option, I guess that’s understandable, but if you do, save up and buy a GPU while you still can.

How very greedy. Why not get yourself an EC2 instance?
