Rankings are computed from our dataset (price, benchmarks when available, refund notes, latency tiers, and other signals). Always verify details on the provider checkout page.

FAQ

How do you rank plans for Docker / self-hosted apps under $5/mo?
We score plans using comparable monthly price (USD), specs, refund notes, benchmarks when available, and latency-tier signals. Always verify details on the provider checkout page.
Can I choose a different region/city for these plans?
Some providers let you pick a location at checkout. For exact country/city filtering (and payment methods, route tags, and latency tiers), use VPS Finder.
Why are some plans not linked?
To avoid thin/duplicate pages, we only link to plan pages that meet minimum content signals (benchmarks, editorial notes, measured latency, or tracked price history).
