Compare specs for all plans from all providers
To summarize the performance of each VPS plan, we generated grades based on the various tests that were run: web, sysbench, endurance and remote timing tests. Each grade focuses on one aspect of the VPS speed or stability (cpu, disk IO, network IO...) and is made of one or more metrics measured during the tests.
Grades are evenly distributed between A and F. A is best, F is worst.
Follow the letter links to find the test results backing the grade.

The provider consistency score shows how much variation can be expected between 2 servers of the same type at the same provider. A high consistency score (>65) means the performance of all servers of the provider is consistent over many trials and many plans.
Providers who don't have enough data yet at VPSBenchmarks don't have a consistency score.
This is the average time it took to create an instance for Aruba Cloud and ScalaHosting from instance order to instance accepting connections.

These are some of the test results that are used to determine the grades above.
We ran a database intensive web application at various levels of load on cloud servers from Aruba Cloud and ScalaHosting. This is the average response time measured locally on the VPS for each plan we tested.
Local Response Time per Plan
Lower is better
We ran a database intensive web application at various levels of load on cloud servers from Aruba Cloud and ScalaHosting. This is the maximum rate of HTTP requests that each server handled without timing out.
Maximum HTTP request rate
Higher is better
We ran the full suite of Sysbench tests on VPS plans of Aruba Cloud and ScalaHosting. These are the Sysbench CPU test results:
Rate of operations
Higher is better
We ran the full suite of Sysbench tests on VPS plans of Aruba Cloud and ScalaHosting. These are the Sysbench Disk IO Random Read test results:
Rate of operations
Higher is better
We have performed large file transfers from the Aruba Cloud and ScalaHosting VPS and we measured the speed of downloads and uploads.
The transfers involve multiple files, 10 threads and last for at least 10 seconds at maximum speed. The transfers are repeated 3 times from different servers and only the fastest transfer is reported here.
Download Speed per Plan
Higher is better
We pushed the CPU of those VPS plans hard for 24 hours straight.
This test shows how fast the VPS can go for long periods of time, how stable the performance is and it also gives clues on how overallocated the VPSs may be.
Average number of operations per hour
Higher is better
