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.
Entry monthly price
This is each provider's lowest current monthly VPS price, converted to USD. Bar lengths are relative to the highest entry price shown.
Comparable VPS plans
These plans are all in the same lower-price price band: each alternative plan must be within 30% below or 40% above the selected UpCloud plan price. Prices are converted to USD for an easier comparison.
