VPS benchmark scores
Compare VPS plans on CPU, memory, disk, network, database and web app benchmarks, by plan and location or run by run.
74 runs
Side by side
Percentages compare each column to the baseline, the first column. The best number in each row is highlighted when at least two columns have one, and for latency the best number is the lowest. Add at least one more to compare.

Per-dollar rows, $ per vCPU and $ per GB RAM use the monthly price. Hourly prices are current list prices. For the per-month figures, hourly assumes 730 hours a month.
Plans by location
62 plans by locationCPU is Geekbench 7. Disk is fio random reads and writes, half and half, with speed and IOPS adding the two together. Network is iperf3 over IPv4, the median across 5 public servers: London, Amsterdam, Singapore, Los Angeles, and NYC. Send is from the VPS, receive is to it. Multi per $ divides multi-core by the monthly price. Numbers are medians over the last 90 days, or the latest run when there's nothing recent. Compare adds that plan and location to the side-by-side.
