VPS/dedic benchmarks

Added 3 new benchmarks of DigitalOcean.com cloud servers (not recommended):
docs.google.com

VPS Benchmarks

docs.google.com docs.google.com

Cloud (VPS) servers cost more than some dedics in OVH/Hetzner and they are much slower. Also results are very unstable, sometimes I get 50% lower score in CPU/RAM test than the best test score on given machine. Also on cheapest option (48$ for 4 core and 8 GB RAM!!!) with SSD response time sometimes jump to 10 ms.

EDIT:
I tried to order server with 'dedicated CPU' (not shared), but it's not available without sending 'increase resources request'.
I've send one with information that I want to benchmark machine with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM, because I'm looking for game server hosting.
They DENIED my request!
While we've gone ahead and carefully reviewed your account, unfortunately, your account does not qualify for the requested limit based on our internal assessment guidelines.
Never heard about company that does not allow users to buy so slow servers.
I've asked for 109$ server (4 core, 8 GB RAM) with specification that I could buy in Hetzner.com for 30$ (4 dedicated core, 16 GB RAM).

Have you tried Hetzner's ARM64 cloud servers? It seems their CAX21 might be a good option.

4 vCPU -- 8 GB RAM -- 80 GB Disk Space -- 20 TB bandwidth

And depending on country it's around 8€/month.

I read a good benchmark / article about it here: The performance review of Hetzner's CAX-line ARM64 servers and the practical experience of WebP Cloud Services on them. (https://blog.webp.se/hetzner-arm64-en/)

Might get myself one of those.

I've tested 16 vCore ARM CPU for 29 EUR. Results are in 28 line of:
docs.google.com

VPS Benchmarks

docs.google.com docs.google.com
In lines 25-27 are Hetzner cloud servers with AMD vCore (shared) and dedicated core (more expensive) CPUs for comparison. They cost around 2 times more and they are only a bit faster.

There are now available new Intel CPU cloud servers in Hetzner. 4 cores with 8 GB RAM costs only 7.75 EUR.
 
I use hetzner services using 8gb ram and 4core cpu you get basic quality
if you go with 2vcpu (shared) and 4gb ram that thing works slower than a pentium 4 and cant even handle tfs without lagging :p so the 8gb option is a minimum that I would recommend unless you trying to host some node apps or small web app
 
it would be good if you could tell us a little about the servers in the west that are hosted in canada, usa or brazil.

OVH has datacenters in Canada and USA. There are the same servers as in Europe. To order OVH server in USA you may need to use US site and create separate OVH account on US site (probably tax related): OVHcloud (https://us.ovhcloud.com/)

Hetzner has datacenters in USA (east/west), but there are only available Cloud servers (no dedics) and only with AMD CPUs. They are cheaper and faster than OVH, but Hetzner anti-ddos is very weak.

IDK anyone who host server in Brazil. There are many brazilian companies that just resell OVH US servers.
I've checked 7 top BR servers from otservlist:

Some OTS servers reported as OVH US east are hosted in Hetzner US and use OVH VPS servers as proxy servers to block DDoS attacks, so their IP on otservlist points to OVH, but they are hosted on cheaper and faster servers in Hetzner.

A good thing about hetzner is that the price is monthly, but they will only bill per hour rate, so its great for testing purposes

I use their servers all time for tests.

Need to compile some random OTS engine on Linux and fix compilation issues? 16 cores, 32 GB RAM with 2 gb/s network for 0.1$ per hour (0.07$ if Intel CPU servers are available). Compilation on that machine takes 10-30 seconds.
Hetzner delivers Cloud servers in 15-30 seconds. It's much faster than setting up docker to work with given OS and finding out what C++ libraries/packages to install.
There are many other companies that deliver similar servers (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure), but their cloud servers often come with a lot of configuration required, to make them run like VPSes. Hetzner Cloud servers are configured like VPSes (full access to everything by default).

If it comes to host a productive server on south america, do you have any thoughts on it? Anti-DDOS wise.

for ovh you don't need anything... when you go to rent a server it asks you where you want it to be europe usa canada etc and the south american servers are a bit expensive, but neep is one of the best servers example rubinot is there and it is a “stable” server.
