Glossary

Quick definitions for the fields you see in VPS Finder.

Route tags

Free-form labels that capture “network/route” characteristics users care about (e.g. cn2, cmi). These are typically curated and may not be present in official pricing tables.

Latency tiers (S–E)

A normalized label for expected user-perceived latency quality for a target audience group. Lower is better: S / A / B / C / D / E. Always verify by running your own tests from your real user locations.

Refund eligibility

Whether a plan is likely refundable (and for how many days). This is sourced from provider documents when possible and marked with a confidence level. Policies change—follow the source links on each plan/provider page.

Price (USD)

Filters and scoring use a monthly USD price. If the provider bills in another currency, the site stores the native price and a USD estimate (based on a public FX reference used by the updater).
