How we measured it
A fair test you can repeat
A comparison is only worth something if it is reproducible. Here is exactly how these numbers were produced, so you can run the same test and check them.
Beyond the benchmarks
What else to weigh up.
Speed is only part of the picture. When you compare providers, these are the commitments we hold ourselves to, and the ones worth checking on anyone you consider.
Published benchmarks
Performance you can verify and reproduce, not adjectives. Every figure here is public.
ECC and NVMe RAID10
Error-correcting memory and mirrored NVMe storage as standard on every node.
No setup fee
The same price in Amsterdam and New York, with nothing added at the start.
True KVM and full root
Your own kernel, dedicated resources and full root, not a shared container.
EU and US regions

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.
Test either region yourself.
You do not have to take our word for it. Point a looking glass, a download or an iperf3 run at either region and measure the path from where you are.
