Hello,
Do you know of any websites that compare the prices and features of “cloud service providers”, in particular VPS (Virtual machine) offers?
So far, I’ve found this :
- https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/
- https://vpscomp.com/ (found here)
- https://www.serverhunter.com/ (found here)
- https://en.metadedi.net/ (found here)
- https://cloudoptimizer.io/ (found here)
- https://github.com/baaastijn/ovh_pricelist (OpenSource, limited to OVH)
- Awesome list of Cloud VPS with price breakdown (last price update : 2021)
- A price list of curated VPS hosting providers (last price update : 2022)
- https://github.com/joedicastro/vps-comparison (last updated : 2017)
Comment about vpsbenchmarks.com
vpsbenchmarks.com s what I’m looking for, but I find it incomplete. For instance:
- For Scaleway, I count 4 plans on vpsbenchmarks, whereas I count 45 plans on Scaleway’s official website
- For DigitalOcean, I count 8 plans whereas I count 32 plans on DigitalOcean’s official website
- For Hetzner, I count 9 plans whereas I count 22 plans on Hetzner’ official website
I may not have searched properly, but I haven’t found a page that lets you compare VPS offers with identical features (Shared vCPU, Dedicated vCPU…), between two cloud providers.
Comment about vpscomp.com
I didn’t find Hetzner, OVH… on vpscomp.com.
Comment about serverhunter.com
serverhunter.com is my favorite service.
Problem: I only see the integration of OVH dedicated servers.
I couldn’t find OVH VPS.
Comment about metadedi.net
I understand that metadedi.net is limited to dedicated servers and I’m not sure about the update dates.
Also, the GitLab project indicated on the about page no longer exists.
Comment about cloudoptimizer.io
For example, OVH and Scaleway are missing.
Where do I do my research?
I searched for this type of service on :
- I found this on Hackernews :
- reddit seflhosted
- Lemmy Selfhosted
- GitHub
- https://github.com/dalisoft/awesome-hosting
My VPS comparaison service of dream
- OpenSource
- With an API
- OpenData available (downloadable in csv, yaml or json format)
- When available, price fetch from cloud providers’ pricing APIs, otherwise via web scraping
- Price history view
- View to compare VPS benchmark results, for example, based on https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script
Question
Do you know of a service that looks like this? If not, do you think it should exist?
Best regards,
Stéphane

https://lowendbox.com/ is usually recommended for cheap VPS.
There’s so many providers, and they don’t always make it clear when they change hardware. Amazon AWS feels pretty open about it, they are good. I doubt the resource you are looking for will ever exist. You won’t be able to make a purchase decision with all the info you want.
Having said that, you did bring a ton of resources together in this post, thank you for that!
I have nothing to contribute but ServerHunter looks great, thanks OP.
This site is specific to AWS, but you might find it helpful:
Looks like it got bought out by someone, so might be enshittified, but it’s worked nicely for me in the past.
