What does "value per USD" mean?

It is a simple specs-per-dollar score derived from vCPU, RAM, and storage. It helps you find "big specs for the price", but it is not a substitute for real benchmarks.

Is this a benchmark ranking?

Not exactly. This page uses a theoretical specs score. For measured performance signals and how scoring works, read the methodology page.

Why are filtered URLs marked noindex?

Filters can generate many near-duplicate pages. Only the main comparison page is indexable; filtered URLs are noindex to keep the index clean.

How should I use this page to pick a plan?

Start by sorting by value, then sanity-check CPU/RAM/storage, region, IPv6, and refund eligibility. Use VPS Finder for deeper filtering.

Info

How it works: We calculate a Specs Score based on CPU (30%), RAM (40%), and storage (30%), then compute Value Score (specs per dollar) to help you find the best price-to-performance ratio.

Understanding the Scores

S Specs Score

Combined score based on CPU (30%), RAM (40%), and storage (30%). Higher = more resources.

V Value Score

Specs Score divided by price (USD). Higher = better price-to-performance ratio.

T Storage Type

NVMe storage gets a 1.5x weight boost in the Specs Score for better performance.
