Is the comparison fair?
We test comparable 2 vCPU / 4 GB plans with dedicated storage, identical commands and the median of five runs per competitor. The datasets are open, so you can audit or repeat the test.
Can I reproduce these results?
Yes. The benchmark commands and raw datasets are published so you can run the same tests on any provider and compare for yourself.
Do results vary between runs?
Some variation is normal on any shared platform, which is why we report the median of five runs and also publish p95 figures rather than a single best-case number.
Written on Trustpilot, not here.
They live on Trustpilot, so we can't delete the ones we would rather not show. Open one, check the date, then hold our benchmark runs and our status page to the same standard.
