Method
Transparent methodology beats mysterious rankings
VPSRNK should show what was tested, when it was tested, and what the data cannot prove. That matters more than pretending one provider is always “best”.
Core principles
- Timestamp every test result
- Separate opinion from measured data
- Document provider quirks and operational friction
- Prefer repeatability over one-time benchmark theater
- State when the sample size is too small
What to measure
- CPU consistency and not just a single burst score
- Disk I/O behaviour under repeated runs
- Basic network throughput and latency patterns
- Provisioning speed and stock availability
- Support responsiveness and product clarity
What this site will not do
It will not pretend AWS, Azure, and GCP are part of the same buying decision as Vultr, Hetzner, or Contabo. Those platforms solve different problems. VPSRNK is for practical VPS buyers: developers, indie hackers, small SaaS operators, labs, and small teams who want clear trade-offs without enterprise cloud sprawl.
