VPS with high Single Core

A friend wants to calc some node.js apps for couple hours and needs high single core power. What are the best (hourly priced) budget vps for this? How much of a core does DO/Vultr offer?

  • Vultr is great, they sometimes deploy you on a server with 3.6Ghz but sometimes you're getting deployed on a 2.xGhz server. AMS usually has 3.6Ghz.

    Why not check the BuyVM E3 slices from @Francisco ?

    Mine is on E3-1270 v3 @ 3.50GHz

    Oh lol I thought they were at 2ghz :O
    Anyway I once got into an Argument with Aldyric so not sure if I will be having that option haha ;D

    Not an answer to the question, but it's really not a good idea to use JS for computationally intensive tasks...

    While not exactly what you're looking for (In terms of hourly billing), we have a new line in Florida, which comes with dedicated CPU @2.67GHz/3GHz turbo (1c, 4GB RAM,2TB BW, 50GB RAID10 HDD, KVM @ 6.50 euros per month).

    They are billed monthly, and to be sure of high single core power, you need the 8gb 2 thread one which is possibly overkill for this task.

    If it's just a few hours, the most powerful is probably the OVH HG-7 which is 3.1 ghz dedicated vcores, but rather outside of LET pricing at 9.3 cents an hour ($34/month):

    Cheap cloud hosting like Vultr is iffy: you sometimes can get a whole core to yourself, but you are subject to noisy neighbors. They have dedicated instances too (comparable price to OVH) but they don't specify ghz.

    If your task can parallelize (run multiple scripts simultaneously) the Scaleway x86 dedis are about the best deal for raw cpu cycles, but they are slow single cores (8 core Atom).

    What's the application if I can ask?
