Frequently asked questions
What is VPSMetrics and how does it help me choose a VPS?
VPSMetrics is a comprehensive VPS benchmarking platform that provides real performance data from actual VPS instances across multiple providers and locations. We run standardized benchmarks using transparent methodology including Geekbench (CPU), FIO (disk I/O), UnixBench (system), iPerf (network), and WordPress tests. This helps you make informed decisions based on actual performance rather than marketing claims.
How are VPS benchmarks collected and tested?
We deploy actual VPS instances across different providers, locations, and plans. Each instance undergoes standardized benchmark tests following our testing methodology including Geekbench for CPU performance, FIO for disk I/O operations, UnixBench for system-level metrics, iPerf for network bandwidth, and real-world WordPress performance tests. All tests are automated and run under identical conditions for fair comparison.
Which VPS providers are included in the benchmarks?
We benchmark major VPS providers including DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, Hetzner, AWS Lightsail, and many others. Our benchmark database includes performance data from multiple data center locations for each provider, allowing you to compare both providers and their geographical performance differences.
What do the Geekbench scores mean?
Geekbench provides standardized CPU performance scores. Single-core scores indicate performance for single-threaded applications, while multi-core scores show performance when using all CPU cores. Higher scores mean better performance. For reference, modern VPS instances typically score 800-2000 for single-core and 1500-8000 for multi-core, depending on the plan and CPU architecture. View performance statistics across all providers.
How should I interpret FIO disk I/O results?
FIO tests measure storage performance through IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and bandwidth (MB/s). Higher IOPS means better performance for database operations and applications with many small file operations. Bandwidth is important for large file transfers and media applications. NVMe SSD VPS typically delivers 10,000+ IOPS, while traditional SSD offers 5,000-10,000 IOPS. Learn more about how we test disk performance.
Can I compare VPS by price-to-performance ratio?
Yes! VPSMetrics allows you to filter and sort benchmarks by various metrics including price. You can analyze performance-per-dollar using our performance dashboard to find the best value VPS for your budget. Our database includes pricing information alongside performance metrics, making it easy to identify cost-effective options.
How often are benchmarks updated?
We continuously add new benchmarks and re-test existing providers to ensure data accuracy. Provider infrastructure changes, CPU upgrades, and network improvements are reflected in our updated benchmarks. Check the benchmark execution date to see the freshness of each test result.
Are the benchmarks independent and unbiased?
Yes, VPSMetrics provides independent and unbiased benchmark data. Learn more about our team and commitment to transparency. We are not affiliated with any VPS provider and do not accept payment for benchmark placement or scores. All tests use the same methodology across all providers to ensure fair comparison.
What is the difference between different benchmark locations?
VPS performance can vary significantly by data center location due to hardware differences, network routing, and regional infrastructure. We benchmark multiple locations for major providers so you can compare performance and choose a VPS in a region closest to your users for optimal latency and performance.
Can I request benchmarks for specific VPS providers or have questions?
Yes! We welcome provider suggestions and questions about our benchmarking process. Contact us with your provider requests or inquiries. You can also view detailed benchmark results by browsing our comprehensive database and comparing specific instances side-by-side.
Why VPS benchmarks matter
Choosing the right VPS provider affects application performance, user experience, and cost. Raw plan specs alone rarely explain the real differences between platforms, which is why measured results matter.
VPSMetrics runs real-world tests including Geekbench, FIO, UnixBench, iPerf, and WordPress performance to show how each plan behaves in practice. You can also review our testing methodology and team background to understand how results are produced.
How to use VPSMetrics for your next VPS shortlist
Start with the benchmark database, narrow by provider, region, or price, then compare CPU, storage, and network behavior in more detail. For broader planning, move into the performance dashboard and compare view.
