HOMERDP vs AWS & Azure: Why Pay More for the Same Power?
Why Our Dedicated RDP Is Cheaper Than AWS & Azure —
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, developers, traders, businesses, and gamers rely heavily on Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) servers for powerful, always-on computing. While tech giants like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure dominate the cloud market, many users are beginning to realize that cost doesn’t always reflect value. In fact, HOMERDP’s Dedicated RDP solutions offer equal or better performance at significantly lower prices, with greater transparency and user control.
Let’s break down why HOMERDP’s RDP servers stand out — not just in affordability, but in sheer computing power, usability, and flexibility.
HOMERDP vs AWS & Azure
1. Transparent, Flat-Rate Pricing (Unlike Cloud Confusion)
AWS and Azure operate on complex, usage-based pricing models that often confuse users with hundreds of billing metrics—compute hours, bandwidth usage, IOPS, data transfer, storage types, OS licenses, etc.
Let’s take a simple example:
| Provider | Specs | Monthly Cost | Hidden Costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| AWS EC2 t3.xlarge | 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | ~$103/month | EBS, bandwidth, OS |
| Azure D4as v5 | 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | ~$115/month | Storage + data costs |
| HOMERDP (Vector 6) | Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 128 GB RAM | $128/month flat | None |
With HOMERDP, you know exactly what you’re paying for — no billing spikes, no surprise fees, and unlimited data transfer included.
2. Unmatched Performance with Ryzen 9 7950X3D
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is a powerhouse chip designed for heavy workloads — from gaming servers to machine learning.
Key Specifications:
- 16 cores / 32 threads
- Base Clock: 4.2 GHz (Boost up to 5.7 GHz)
- L3 Cache: Massive 128MB (great for latency-sensitive apps)
- 5nm Zen 4 architecture
Compare this with most AWS or Azure instances, where:
- You pay more for fewer cores.
- Clock speeds are often below 3.5 GHz.
- Virtualization overhead reduces real performance.
- You don’t get full access to the processor.
With HOMERDP’s Vector 6 RDP:
- You get the entire CPU and NVMe SSD performance.
- Perfect for hosting game servers, CI/CD pipelines, Python scripts, or GPU inference.
3. High-Speed Locations in Europe with Low Latency
AWS and Azure have global zones, but at a high cost for bandwidth and data transfer. At HOMERDP, we focus on latency-optimized, GDPR-compliant data centers in Finland and Germany—ideal for Europe, Asia, and even North America.
Why Our Locations Matter:
- Finland: Stable, cool environment ideal for 24/7 server uptime.
- Germany: Direct access to DE-CIX (world’s largest internet exchange).
- Low latency: Great for Forex traders and competitive gamers.
- Data sovereignty: European hosting adheres to strong privacy laws.
Whether you’re trading crypto, hosting a multiplayer server, or running an e-commerce backend, speed matters — and our network ensures it.
4. Full Admin Access — Total Control, No Gatekeeping
AWS and Azure are enterprise platforms. That means strict IAM roles, permission management, and limited user access.
With HOMERDP Dedicated RDP, you get complete control:
- Full Administrator (Windows) or root (Linux) access
- Install any software, tweak registry settings, change system configurations
- Run background bots, headless tasks, or persistent apps
- Configure port forwarding, firewalls, and security tools
No permissions, no policies — just freedom to operate your server the way you want.
5. Tailored for Specific Workloads, Not Generic Templates
Most AWS and Azure instances are generic, forcing you to customize them manually or pay extra for specialized versions. HOMERDP offers pre-optimized environments:
| Use Case | HOMERDP Features |
|---|---|
| Gaming Servers | Low-latency Ryzen CPUs, full admin, optional GPU |
| Forex & Trading Bots | Europe-based IPs, 99.99% uptime, 24/7 monitoring |
| Machine Learning | GPU RDP options, Python/R/PyTorch compatible environments |
| Remote Workstations | Windows 11 Pro or Server 2022, Office-ready, clipboard enabled |
| Development & DevOps | Git, VS Code, Node.js, Python, Docker |
6. Security Built-In — Without Extra Fees
Big cloud providers charge extra for backup snapshots, security monitoring, firewalls, and patching. HOMERDP includes:
- Free DDoS protection
- Manual snapshot backups on request
- Weekly OS-level security checks (upon request)
- Optional managed services (for businesses & resellers)
All HOMERDP plans run on isolated, bare-metal nodes, minimizing the risk of neighbor-noise and shared-resource vulnerability.
7. Simple to Use — No Cloud Jargon, No Certifications Required
AWS and Azure are notoriously complex. You need to understand EC2 instance types, IAM roles, AMIs, security groups, Elastic IPs — and that’s just for launching a basic VM.
At HOMERDP:
- You get 1-click reboots, reinstallation, and OS change options via a simple dashboard.
- 24/7 chat support helps even non-technical users deploy within minutes.
- No DevOps skills required — just log in and get started.
8. Real-World Cost Savings & Case Study
A fintech startup in Poland was running 3 Azure VMs (8 cores, 32 GB RAM) for Python-based algorithmic trading. Monthly cost (with storage & support): ~$960.
They switched to 2 HOMERDP Vector 6 RDPs for:
- $256/month
- Better performance with Ryzen 9 chips
- Full root access for algorithm deployment
- 62% monthly savings
- 25% faster processing time
Over one year, they saved $8,400+ — funds they redirected into product development.

Final Thoughts
AWS and Azure are designed for massive enterprise infrastructure — but that’s overkill (and overpriced) for most developers, gamers, remote workers, or small teams.
If you need:
- Raw power
- Cost predictability
- Admin control
- Speed and simplicity
Then HOMERDP is your smarter, more affordable alternative. You get the best of both worlds — enterprise-grade performance without enterprise-grade headaches.
