Understanding Comparison Metrics
CPU Performance
Compare Geekbench single-core (web hosting) and multi-core (parallel processing) scores. Higher is better. Typical range: 800-2500 (single), 1500-10000+ (multi).
Disk I/O
IOPS (Input/Output Operations) measures database and file operation speed. View performance trends - NVMe: 20,000+ IOPS, SSD: 5,000-15,000 IOPS. Critical for databases.
Network Speed
Bandwidth in Mbps/Gbps for upload (serving content) and download (data ingestion). Compare providers - recommend 500+ Mbps upload for web hosting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add VPS plans to compare?
You can add plans in two ways: 1) Browse the benchmarks page and click "Add to Compare" on any VPS plan, or 2) Use the plan pickers directly on the comparison page to select from our database. You can compare up to 3 VPS plans simultaneously to make informed decisions. Visit our testing methodology to understand how we benchmark each VPS.
What metrics can I compare between VPS plans?
You can compare comprehensive performance metrics including Geekbench CPU scores (single-core and multi-core), disk I/O performance (IOPS and bandwidth), network bandwidth (upload and download speeds), pricing information, hardware specifications (CPU cores, RAM, storage), provider details, and data center locations. Check our performance dashboard to see aggregated statistics across all VPS providers.
How should I interpret side-by-side benchmark comparisons?
Focus on metrics most relevant to your workload. For web hosting, prioritize single-core Geekbench and IOPS. For application servers, look at multi-core scores. For media streaming, check network bandwidth. Compare the same metric across all plans to see which offers best performance. Also consider performance-per-dollar to find the best value. Learn more about how we test VPS performance for accurate comparisons.
Can I compare VPS plans from different providers?
Yes! Our comparison tool allows you to compare VPS plans from different providers side-by-side. This is one of the most powerful features - you can directly compare DigitalOcean vs Linode vs Vultr, for example, to see which provider offers the best performance for your budget and requirements. Browse our provider database to explore all available VPS providers and their performance metrics.
What if I want to compare plans in different locations?
You can compare VPS plans from different geographic locations, even from the same provider. This helps you understand performance variations across data centers and choose the optimal location for your target audience. Network latency and routing can significantly impact performance. Use our benchmark filters to narrow down VPS by location and compare performance across geographic regions.
How do I calculate performance-per-dollar ratio?
Divide the performance metric (like Geekbench score or IOPS) by the monthly cost. For example, a VPS with 2000 Geekbench score at $10/month = 200 points per dollar. The comparison tool shows these calculations automatically, helping you identify the best value options for your specific performance needs. Browse all VPS benchmarks to find the best value-for-money options.
Are the benchmark results in the comparison real or estimated?
All benchmark results are real performance data from actual VPS instances we've deployed and tested. We run standardized benchmark suites (Geekbench, FIO, iPerf, UnixBench) under identical conditions across all providers. This ensures fair, accurate comparisons based on real-world performance, not marketing specs. Read our comprehensive testing methodology to understand our benchmarking process in detail.
Can I save or export my VPS comparisons?
While direct export isn't currently available, your comparison selections are temporarily saved in your browser session. You can take screenshots of the comparison results, or manually record the key metrics for offline analysis. Each plan in the comparison links to its detailed benchmark page for more comprehensive data. Need help? Contact our team for assistance.
What if the plans I'm comparing have different specifications?
That's perfectly fine! The comparison tool excels at comparing plans with different specifications. You might compare a 2-core $10 plan against a 4-core $20 plan to decide if the upgrade is worth the cost. Focus on performance-per-dollar ratios and specific metrics relevant to your workload rather than just raw specifications. Visit our performance dashboard to see which VPS configurations excel at specific workloads.
How fresh is the benchmark data in comparisons?
Each benchmark result shows the test execution date. We continuously update our benchmark database with new tests and re-test providers when they upgrade infrastructure. When comparing plans, you can see the benchmark dates to verify data freshness. More recent benchmarks typically reflect current performance levels. Check our dashboard to see the latest benchmark additions and about us to learn more about VPSMetrics.
Making Data-Driven VPS Decisions with Side-by-Side Comparison
Choosing the right VPS requires analyzing multiple factors simultaneously. Our comparison tool eliminates guesswork by presenting real benchmark data side-by-side, allowing you to directly compare CPU performance, disk I/O capabilities, network bandwidth, and pricing across up to three VPS plans. This visual comparison reveals performance differences that aren't apparent from specifications alone.
When comparing VPS plans, focus on the metrics most critical to your workload. Web hosting benefits from strong single-core CPU performance and adequate IOPS for database queries. Application servers handling concurrent users need multi-core performance. Media streaming or content delivery requires high network bandwidth. Learn more about our testing methodology - our comparison tool highlights these metrics clearly, making it easy to identify the best match for your specific requirements.
Cross-Provider and Cross-Location Comparisons
One of the most powerful features of our comparison tool is the ability to compare VPS plans across different providers and geographic locations. Provider infrastructure varies significantly - some excel at CPU performance while others offer better disk I/O or network bandwidth. Geographic location affects both performance (latency to your users) and sometimes the underlying hardware deployed in that data center.
Use the comparison tool to evaluate performance-per-dollar ratios across providers. A more expensive VPS might deliver significantly better performance, making it better value despite higher cost. Conversely, a budget VPS might offer adequate performance for your needs at substantial cost savings. The side-by-side comparison reveals these tradeoffs clearly, empowering you to make informed decisions based on real benchmark data rather than marketing claims or specifications alone.
