DigitalOcean vs RunAbove XL3 vs Vultr
That is the one I would get if I needed it.
him being nice or nasty does not change the fact he works for them, and in this case his bias. of course he is going to defend the products.
Bias in favor of Vultr? Because I'm a DO employee? Lol in what world does that possibly make sense?
no you defending DO's very low performance systems.
and your stupid little bit of sarcasm.. being honest i dislike you but that changes nothing.
NY http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3185328
London http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3186538
the NY one is shocking, my tablet PC has better single core performance than that. clearly some overselling
certainly not worth $80
Can you run this on small instances? For example at DO you can get 16 512mb instances for $80 per month, will give you a LOT more performance than just the one instance. Or at RunAbove 28 2gb sandbox instances.

Nope. I responded to your statement about Vultr CPUs with a personal opinion about your views, generated by years of reading your words. It would be in poor taste for me to "defend" DigitalOcean CPU choices to you here. I wouldn't have commented on that, nor have I done so.
Personally, I do like you. Always have Daniel. I'm sorry that it isn't mutual. I'd still do anything for you anytime.
Has he done that in this thread? I never saw it, just a comment about the way you view CPU performance.
IWStack is not about performance, it has SAN storage, E5 CPUs, etc.
As a cloud has to be, is about scalability, predictability and features.
This means: %Cpu(s): 24.8 us, 7.2 sy, 0.0 ni, 67.8 id, 0.2 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
Plenty of idle CPU in reserve.
Agree. But the plans offer access to a lot of cpu cores for the price compared with other providers, that's why I recommended it. Maybe you have slower processors but more cores, and if the workload of the OP is parallelizable, it may work for him.
I've really been wanting to try iwstack for a while. Solid name behind a real cloud service. Does it have US locations for deployment?
Dallas. But no SAN storage, and not sure but no HA also.
HA is available, just not fail-over. It also has the old storage organization so spinning a new VM is taking a long time, but it is full SSD.
If you need the full array of features, you will use the Milano one.
Here's a $8/month VULTR benchmark I did last month:
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2015/07/16/SD4E7iBtrgwUNi7d
UnixBench score: 2267.6
I/O rate: 369.0 MB/second
Bandwidth rate: 111.0 MB/second
I've also tested some other servers
Vultr 4 Cores London http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3188951
RunAbove 2 Cores (great performance) http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3189454
DigitalOcean Frankfurt 4 Cores http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3191276
Interesting to see the slower DO processors perform in a similar way to the vultr ones in your multicore bench.
With a bit of luck maybe you can get some faster processors at DO at other locations.
And btw, some plans at linode can give you more cores for your money and they are faster (E5-2680 v2 (2.8Ghz) and v3 (2.5Ghz) at least in my instances).
Redacted.
Ha, congrats for evading the new ban on editing :P
I just spun up a new $5 instance in LA to test this. The one I was running since about 2 weeks ago is 2.4GHz, the new one is 3.6GHz. So I can confirm that it extends to the $5 instances, at least in LA. I guess it's just pot luck which one you end up with though.
I think that for this type of work/task a vultr dedicaded cloud would be a better fit. Dedicated resources, more room to "abuse".
Nice! I knew their NJ location had 3.6GHz cores and that's great to know that their LA location has them too along with $5 instances. If you end up with a 2.4 and you need a 3.6GHz just redeploy a few times.
hmm, now i use vultr for almost all my production site. and so far no problemo
What CPU are these 3.6Ghz cores?
They don't show them but likely E3-1271 v3 or E5-1620
Glad to see greedy people like me who will better redeploy 10x times than buy a good "professional" vps.
I'm new to this, and I don't really know how to compare the speed except to check the cpuinfo and search online.
Between the 3 models, including one I have 1.8ghz, it seems the 1.8ghz has higher score?
