$4/MO ARE YOU KIDDING ME

SNAPPED IT UP at Hetzner flash sale last night, 2 vCPU / 2GB / Hillsboro

Processor  : AMD Ryzen 5 3600
CPU cores  : 2 @ 3600.000 MHz
RAM        : 1.9 GiB

Price history: was €5/mo, dropped to €4 for 6 hours only. Ryzen 3600 at this price is criminal.

Svendeal nice find. IMO Hetzner flash sales are YMMV though, my last box from them had noisy neighbors and disk performance tanked during peak US hours. Take it with a grain of salt.

Here's my stable workhorse, RackNerd Amsterdam, 2 vCPU / 4GB / $5/mo:

Processor  : Intel Xeon Gold 6140
CPU cores  : 2 @ 2300.000 MHz
RAM        : 3.8 GiB

Write      | 448.23 MB/s (112.0k) | 1.09 GB/s   (17.0k)
Total      | 893.90 MB/s (223.4k) | 2.17 GB/s   (33.8k)

Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test:
---------------------------------
Test            | Value
Single Core     | 1123
Multi Core      : 2134

Nothing exciting, but consistent for 8 months now. Gold 6140 is older but reliable.

E-2288G is very fast for single core! My english is bad but the server is good

Latency to my home in Lyon is 12ms, very nice

1. E-2288G single-core performance is well-documented; lucgone's result aligns with expected 2400-2600 range for GB6.
2. However, 1 vCPU plans with "dedicated" cores often suffer from scheduler contention under KVM.
3. Recommend checking /proc/cpuinfo for constant_tsc and nonstop_tsc flags for timing-sensitive workloads.
4. For production use, I advise minimum 2 vCPU to reduce steal time impact.

My test environment: InterServer Secaucus, 4 vCPU / 8GB / $12/mo

Processor  : AMD EPYC 9354
CPU cores  : 4 @ 3250.000 MHz
RAM        : 7.6 GiB

EPYC 9354 shows significant uplift over 7402P generation. Practical recommendation: verify host kernel is 5.15+ for proper AMD P-State support.

FlowSana thank you very much for the tip about cpu flags

I made VPS last month with Vultr Singapore, 2 vCPU / 4GB / $10/mo. First time using yabs: https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script

JokoNord bro your E5-2680 is very good for that price.

I make a test with Hostinger São Paulo, 2 vCPU / 4GB / R$35/mo (~$7):

Ryzen 5600X is amazing! But network to Europe is bad, 180ms local is perfect tho

ping so high I wave back

Less Is More

Simple is better
Hetzner 1GB plan, €4/mo
Disk 300MB/s, network 500mbit, GB6 single 600
It hosts my rss reader
That is enough

Zoekyo that Hetzner plan is OpenVZ masquerading as KVM, check your /proc/user_beancounters

Real KVM has proper isolation. Virtualization tax on oversold nodes is real.

My test: OVHcloud Gravelines, KVM confirmed, 2 vCPU / 4GB / €7/mo

Processor  : AMD EPYC 7443P

Cgroup limits set properly, no swap thrashing. EPYC 7443P is solid midrange. Virtualization tax minimal on this node, steal under 1

Fun little project with NAT VPS from RackNerd, $8/yr, running wireguard + pihole + tiny web server

How do I run yabs? I have a VPS from Vultr I think 1 CPU something

I tried wget but got permission denied. Do I need sudo? Sorry if dumb question

Also what is NAT? I see people talking about it. Is my VPS NAT??

Thank you for patience everyone
