Hi everyone,
In this post, I will be comparing DigitalOcean vs. Linode vs. Vultr vs. GCP and answering the question: Who hosts better VPSes?
Table
How to understand the table:
- Sysbench Single-Thread/Multi-Thread (factor prime numbers up to 5000) time: faster is better
- Latency/Jitter: lower is better
- Download/Upload speed: higher is better
- Sysbench Multi-Thread (factor prime numbers for 2 minutes) events: higher is better
Best VPS in the table
Linode Shared CPU
- 2 vCPUs
- $20/month
- 4GB RAM
- 80GB Disk
- 3903GB Transfer
- Download Speed: 7368.06 Mbps
- Upload Speed: 4022.17 Mbps
- Latency: 0.61ms

- Sysbench (factor prime numbers up to 5000) Multi-Threaded: 1.5456s
- Sysbench (factor prime numbers for 2 minutes) Number of events: 387319
DigitalOcean Shared CPU – Regular Intel
For this VPS, it has 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and a 80GB Disk for $20 a month. It had pretty decent download speeds with one of the lowest upload speeds in the table, but the slowest Single-Threaded Sysbench time. It also had the lowest 2 minute Sysbench Multi-Threaded events.
DigitalOcean Shared CPU – Premium Intel
For this VPS, it has 2 Intel vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and a 80GB Disk for $24 a month. It had pretty decent download speeds with one of the lowest upload speeds in the table. Its Sysbench timings were faster than the Regular Intel D/O VPS, but its Sysbench 2 minute events are not that good.
DigitalOcean Shared CPU – Premium AMD
For this VPS, it has 2 AMD vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and a 80GB Disk for $24 a month. It had pretty decent download speeds with one of the lowest upload speeds in the table. Its Sysbench timings were faster than the Premium Intel D/O VPS, but its Sysbench 2 minute events are one of the highest in the table.
Linode Shared CPU
For this VPS, it has 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and a 80GB Disk for $20 a month. It had pretty decent download speeds with pretty decent upload speeds in the table. Its Sysbench timings are the fastest in the table, with the highest amount of Sysbench 2-minutes Multi-Threaded events.
Vultr High-Frequency
For this VPS, it has 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and a 128GB Disk for $24 a month. It had the fastest download/upload speeds in the table. Its Sysbench timings were faster than the Vultr Cloud Compute VPS as well as the D/O Shared CPU Regular and Premium Intel models. Its Sysbench 2-minutes Multi-Threaded events was higher than the Vultr Cloud Compute VPS as well as the D/O Shared CPU Regular and Premium Intel models.
Vultr Cloud Compute
For this VPS, it has 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and a 80GB Disk for $20 a month. It had decent download/upload speeds in the table. Its Sysbench timings and Sysbench 2-minutes Multi-Threaded events were not too great, but better than the D/O Shared CPU Regular and Premium Intel model.
GCP e2-medium
For this VPS, it has 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and a 10GB Disk for $33.53 a month. It had one of the slowest download/upload speeds in the table. Its Sysbench timings and Sysbench 2-minutes Multi-Threaded events were one of the best in the table.
