Best VPS Rankings
200 VPS Plans Ranked in 6 Price Ranges
Each month, VPSBenchmarks runs performance trials on 20 to 30 new VPS. For every one of them, we measure 25 different metrics over several days and we use them to calculate grades in 5 categories including CPU power, disk IO speed and network speed.
We combine those grades into a trial score to rank VPS plans in Best VPS rankings in 6 price ranges.

Private Trials
Benchmark your own servers
With "Private Trials", the same benchmarks that run on all VPS at vpsbenchmarks.com will run on the servers of your choice. The results are private and you will be able to compare them to any other public trial results on this website.
It just takes a server running Ubuntu or Debian and its connection information to start a Private Trial.
Managed VPS

In Depth Performance Analysis
There is a lot more to vpsbenchmarks.com than just synthetic grades and scores. For every trial, a complete set of metrics is collected and processed. They can all be reviewed in VPS trial pages and individual metrics can be compared for any given set of plans. There is a performance or stability metric for every possible usage of a VPS:
- Web Server: compare the Web tests metrics: latency and capacity.
- CI testing, CPU intensive tasks: compare the Sysbench CPU and Endurance test metrics.
- File server: compare the Sysbench Disk IO and Network Transfers test metrics.

Inside VPSBenchmarks
How does it work?
VPSBenchmarks buys VPS the way any customer would and deploys an exhaustive suite of benchmarks on each one of them. We first run Geekbench, Fio and Iperf3. Then we run web server performance tests where we measure web server response time, maximum server capacity and system metrics. This is followed by network bandwidth tests at maximum speed, a full suite of Sysbench tests to measure CPU, disk and memory performance. And as if this was not enough, to measure the VPS performance stability over time, we run a 24 hour sustained CPU endurance test.
The full set of tests is called a "trial". You can follow the progression of the tests while they run by exploring the Trials page.
