Looking for tool to compare VPS specs across providers honestly

Tool to compare VPS specs across providers honestly

Idk why I do this but I spent last night scraping 12 provider sites for cpu/ram/disk/pricing and the affiliate noise is unbearable. Every "comparison" site is just whoever pays highest cpa. Anyway

Looking for something community-owned, no referral links, raw yabs or geekbench data. Does this exist or do I need to build another cursed thing at 3am

Current messy script output attached if anyone wants to suffer with me 💀

Cat providers.json | jq '.[] | select(.price < 5)' | wc -l
47

Forty-seven "budget" vps under $5 and no honest way to sort them

The Linux-centric tools often overlook Windows Server licensing costs entirely, which skews any honest comparison. Most of us here run Linux workloads, but a truly neutral aggregator should account for the full stack. I have seen spreadsheet-based efforts fail because maintenance becomes a second job. If you build this, consider a submission pipeline with verification rather than open editing.

Hey folks

Super stoked on this idea. Gonna drop a link to a blank sheet we can build together

InterServer runs infra at like 8 providers so I can seed real data, no affiliate garbage. I messed up the sharing perms twice already but third try's live.

Honest specs only. If you fake numbers we will find you and we will shame you

Drop your worst provider experience below so we know what to filter

Reasons:

• Maintainer burns out
• Provider astroturfing
• Benchmark gaming (tmpfs instead of real disk, etc.)

As @wendy said, verification matters more than features. My suggestion:

• Require YABS with timestamp
• Public git history for all changes
• Anonymous submission, named verification

Specs I track personally:

• CPU: passmark single-thread
• Disk: 4k random write sustained, not burst
• Network: iperf3 to tier-1, not internal

Dry humor: the only honest benchmark is the one that makes your provider look worst.
