Price and performance at a glance
Performance is a price-weighted score (out of 100). Entry price is the lowest current monthly VPS price we track.
Price-weighted performance
The score averages the price-weighted scores of each provider's three most recent graded trials (or all available trials when fewer than three exist). A plan score combines web performance, raw CPU capacity, performance stability, disk I/O and network performance; lower plan prices improve the price-weighted score. 100 is best.
Comparable VPS plans
These plans are all in the same mid-price price band: each alternative plan must be within 30% below or 40% above the selected Contabo plan price. Prices are converted to USD for an easier comparison.
