Rent a dedicated NVIDIA L4 server for $169 a month
The L4 is the efficient inference and video GPU: 24 GB of GDDR6, FP8 tensor cores, AV1 hardware encode and decode, all within 72 W. It will not train a large model, and it is not meant to — it serves small models, transcribes speech, encodes video and answers embedding queries for the lowest monthly price in the catalogue. Dedicated bare metal with 6 vCPU, 48 GB of RAM and 500 GB of NVMe.

Specification
NVIDIA L4 server specifications
One dedicated machine, sized around the GPU. Nothing is shared, nothing is metered, and every line below is included in the monthly price.
Why teams rent the L4 here
- 24 GB and FP8. An 8B model at FP8, a 13B model at 4-bit, Whisper, embedding and reranking models — with headroom for batching.
- AV1 encode and decode. Ada-generation NVENC/NVDEC with AV1: transcoding and streaming pipelines at a fraction of a CPU fleet.
- The lowest price in the catalogue. A dedicated GPU server with a public IPv4, 20 TB of transfer and 24/7 support, for roughly what two days of on-demand H100 time cost elsewhere.
- One flat invoice. $169 a month covers the GPU, the host, the NVMe, 20 TB of transfer and 24/7 support — the same number every month, fixed for your term.
Below about 188 hours of use a month, an hourly provider is the cheaper way to run this GPU. Above it — and a machine that trains, serves or renders is above it — the monthly rate wins, and the gap is the $488 shown above.
Pricing
L4 price per month, by term
Per GPU, in USD, excluding VAT. Longer terms cost less; every term includes the same dedicated host, network and support.

Launch pricing: these rates apply to orders confirmed before Oct 31, 2026 and stay fixed for your whole term. From Nov 1, new L4 orders are billed at the list price of $199 a month. On-demand comparison: market-median published hourly rate for the same GPU ($0.90/h) over 730 hours. Block storage $25/TB/month and extra IPv4 addresses $4/month are optional add-ons.
Market comparison
L4 rental price compared
None of the 12 providers in our audit publishes an on-demand rate for the L4. The comparison below uses the market-median hourly rate from the public GetDeploying index, read on 18 September 2026.

Rates are each provider's standard on-demand tier for the L4 — not spot, preemptible or community hardware — as printed on their pricing page on 19 September 2026; each row links to the full comparison with its source. Where a provider is cheaper than us for a full month, the row says so. Method and caveats: GPU cloud alternatives.
Workloads
What people run on an L4
Efficient inference & transcoding — and the three jobs below are where a dedicated L4 at a flat monthly price earns its keep.
-
Small-model inference
7B–8B chat models at FP8, classification, embeddings and rerankers behind an OpenAI-compatible API on vLLM or Ollama.
-
Video transcoding and streaming
Live and batch transcoding with AV1, H.265 and H.264 on hardware engines — the workload the L4 was designed around.
-
Speech and vision services
Whisper transcription, OCR, detection and other models under 10 GB that need a GPU all day but not a big one.
Is the L4 the right GPU for you?
Choose the L4 for services whose model fits in 24 GB and whose traffic is steady: it is the cheapest way to keep a GPU online 24/7. Move to the L40S when the model or the batch no longer fits, or when rendering and RT cores enter the picture; for anything that trains, look at the A100 or above.
L4 rental: questions answered
How much does it cost to rent an L4 server?
$169 a month, flat, for a dedicated NVIDIA L4 server with 6 vCPU · 48 GB RAM · 500 GB NVMe and a 10 Gbps uplink — $0.23 per hour effective over 730 hours. A 3-, 6- or 12-month term takes 5%, 10% or 15% off: $161, $152 or $144 a month. The market-median on-demand rate for the same GPU is $0.90 per hour, about $657 for a full month.
Is the L4 in stock right now?
Yes. 26 of the current batch of 60 were unallocated at the last stock update (18 September 2026). Provisioning is automated: your server is imaged, secured with your SSH key and handed over in under 10 minutes after your payment confirms.
What is included with a L4 server?
Everything on the pricing table: the GPU, 6 vCPU · 48 GB RAM · 500 GB NVMe, a 10 Gbps uplink with 20 TB of outbound transfer, a dedicated public IPv4 and a /64 IPv6 block, DDoS protection, root access and Ubuntu 24.04 with the NVIDIA driver, CUDA 12 and Docker — or PyTorch, vLLM, Kubernetes images at checkout. Hardware replacement within 4 hours and a 99.9% uptime SLA are part of the contract.
What can I actually run in 24 GB?
Comfortably: 7B–8B language models at FP8 or 16-bit, 13B models at 4-bit, Whisper large, embedding and reranking models, YOLO-class detectors and most Stable Diffusion 1.5 and SDXL pipelines. A 70B model does not fit at any useful precision — that is L40S, A100 or H100 territory.
Can I rent several L4s?
Yes: order 1, 2, 4 or 8 GPUs at once, subject to the units left in the batch, on the same monthly terms.
Do I need KYC or a card to rent it?
No. An email address is all we ask for. You fund a prepaid balance in Bitcoin, Ether or USDT (ERC-20 or TRC-20); the first invoice settles from it and monthly renewals charge to it automatically. No ID document, no card, no bank transfer.
Other data center GPUs by the month
