Rankings are computed from our dataset (price, benchmarks when available, refund notes, measured latency tiers, and other signals). Always verify details on the provider checkout page.
FAQ
- How do you rank plans for North America under $5/mo?
- We score plans using a blend of comparable monthly price (USD), specs, available benchmarks, refund notes, and latency-tier signals when available. Always verify details at the provider checkout page.
- Why do you only link to some plan pages?
- To avoid thin/duplicate pages, we only link to plan pages that meet a minimum set of data signals (benchmarks, measured latency, editorial notes, refund signal, or price history).
- Can I filter more aggressively?
- Yes. Use VPS Finder to filter by exact budget, minimum RAM/vCPU, IPv6, route tags, and latency tiers.
