VPS & Cloud Benchmarks

Every benchmark result we hold, in one table. Each row shows when it was measured and who measured it — most are our own sysbench and fio runs, and the rest come from public benchmarking projects we name.

This is not a complete picture of the market. We have measured only a small number of providers so far, results are snapshots from the date shown rather than a continuously updated feed, and providers with no row here simply have no benchmark from us yet.

CPU Score

sysbench — higher is better

Disk IOPS

fio random 4K — higher is better

Sequential Read

fio read MB/s — higher is better

7 results across 5 providers · 2 sourced from a third-party project rather than measured by us. Scores are only comparable within a column, and only for the plan and region named on the row.

ServerSpotterin the “measured by” column means we ran the benchmark ourselves on an instance we provisioned. Any other value is a third-party benchmarking project, linked so you can check the figure at its origin.
