Education and research

Combine filters →

Universities and schools host in two shapes: a lot of small sites and accounts for students and departments, and occasional research workloads that are large but brief. Both are price-sensitive and neither fits a standard business plan, which is why providers selling here usually offer academic terms. Long-lived project sites outliving the person who made them are the norm rather than the exception.

13 providers sell to education and research, listed alphabetically. Across 12 countries, commonest entry price $5 to $15 a month. 64 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
