It is listed because the incumbent row put it in this band and the shape is what disqualifies it. The next rung up, VPS-2 at USD 8.50, is 8 GB and 4 vCPU and over the line. Two things were not settled: the renewal after the 12-month term (the configurator that would show it refused to load), and whether VAT is added (the page prints no VAT line at all, and the 'World [$]' locale implies no EU VAT for a non-EU buyer).
