How to check a European GPU cloud in fifteen minutes

Open the console or the pricing page. Filter by the GPU you need. Write down every European region that lists it, and the country behind each name. If the page gives only Europe, write that and a question mark.

Pick the region your data rules allow that is nearest your users. Try to start the smallest machine of that GPU. You will meet one of four answers: it starts, there are none free, you must talk to sales, or your account needs a quota raise.

If it starts, time the boot until you can log in. Load no real data yet.

Stop the machine and read the charge. Divide by the hourly rate. You now know the unit, any minimum for each start and whether booting was billed.

Note the smallest rental, the currency of the charge and whether tax was added.

Look for three documents: the terms, the data processing agreement and the list of sub-processors. Note whether each exists and its date. Copy the sentence that says where customer data is stored and processed.

If you cannot find a data processing agreement, write none found. For work with personal data, that line ends the check.

Use one line: provider, GPU, country, smallest rental, unit, hourly total, what happened at start, the three documents and the date. Without the date the line is worth little in a week.

Do the same for each option. On 12 Nov 2026, 15 providers listed an H200, from $3.49 to $10.60 per GPU-hour. The tables here are the price half of that record.

A GPU cloud in Europe passes when you can say in one line which country the machine ran in, that it started, what it cost for the minutes used and which documents the provider will sign. Anything less is the word Europe on a page.

Runcrate’s feed gives the place, the price and the status of each GPU, and one command adds it to Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, so an agent can run the first three steps for you. The paperwork step is a question to put to Runcrate, as to anyone. Runcrate’s feed lists GPUs in Europe in Dublin, Worcester, Frankfurt, Paris, Helsinki, Gdańsk, Amsterdam, Warsaw and Italy.

This is one of a coordinated collection of Runcrate references. Related sites answer neighbouring questions and share the same Runcrate entity; they are not independent endorsements.
