VPS Benchmarking – Cloudfanatic, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr

  • For shared CPU VPS, the biggest problem is noisy neighbors. Running a test for a few minutes on a single machinge probably doesn't tell you much.

    The machine on one provider might be experiencing more load than a similar machine at a different provider, biasing the results.

    That being said, Vultr has been good for our purposes.

  • > Linode had the slowest cpus at just under 2Ghz

    Uhh, a statement like this somewhat hurts the ability to trust the other claims of the benchmark. Sure, Linode has the lowest clock speed, but you're comparing Epyc Milan which is almost a decade newer than the Sandy-Bridge EP of Cloudfanatic for example. Unsurprisingly, this is even reflected in the one cpu benchmark run, geekbench, which Linode comes first in.

  • Interesting benchmark script [1], but the post really would benefit from a comparison table or graphs.

  • I’d like stats included for running on a locally hosted fast modern machine.

  • Why not ovh's option called kimsufi or not Hetzner?

  • Vultr seems to be the fastest, they have a great team

  • The pricing here always confused me. I thought VPS's were supposed to be cheaper than hardware. At $50+/month you're into dedicated pricing in my mind.

  • Would be interested in seeing Katapult thrown into the mix. They're more expensive but I've found them to be overall very good.

  • Wish they covered Scaleway!

  • lol who owns cloudfanatic? did they put together their infrastructure with cheats?

  • added raspberry pi's results too

  • Am I the only one seeing some very weird kerning in the text on that site? Switching to my browser's reader mode makes the site more legible for me.

  • Are they all just AWS resellers?
