DigitalOcean (4 cores/8 GB) vs RunAbove XL3 (4 cores / 16 GB) vs Vultr (4 cores / 8 GB)
I need to process some data, what would you choose?
DigitalOcean (4 cores/8 GB) $ 80 / mo
RunAbove XL3 (4 cores / 16 GB) $72/mo
Vultr (4 cores / 8 GB) 64$
Just installed 4 cores DO droplet

Do a geekbench. No one can say for sure because each provider utilize different CPUs and based on chance, one might be better than the other.
AWS gives 36 cores of E5-2666 v3 processors at $1.763/hour on the c4.8xlarge.
Is it about 1000$ per month?
If you want to do monthly it's cheaper to buy a dedicated.
I need something to process data and then kill the server. For example, within 1-10 days.
AWS c4.8xlarge will cost 43$ daily, not bad.
Run Geekbench on each and post the results. There are other options but I need to see the performance you are looking for first.
Vultr perfomance very good for me. Much faster & more parrots i can get from different CPU tests. (if compare with DO & RunAbove)

Vultr simply because you can kill it if you don't want/like
yea, dear topicstart, take a look for this, this is much better then any cloud provider, there you will use clear not shared dedicated resources.
There's also this for dedicated server -- https://www.incero.com/instant
Yup, I get amazing performance from VULTR instances with the 3.6GHz cores
Great deal, will bookmark it. One downside - no delivery time information.
Unfortunately, Vultr 3.6Ghz cores aren't the common cpus used now, Vultr is 2.4Ghz unless you use Vultr Dedicated Cloud series.
Benchmarks I did below will help @Gulf decide
If you don't care about virtualisation used, Wable's OpenVZ New York location some servers have Xeon E5-2643v3 @ 3.4Ghz. Mine do

@eva2000 - Did you run any Geekbench benchmarks?
When talking about the GHz of a cpu.. Don't forget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth
DO for me has become more and more unstable over time, certainly in the UK at least. Becoming so regular that performance is great one minute and next it it slow and randomly disconnects, loads through roof etc..
nah solely just my centminmodbench.sh script at http://bench.centminmod.com - I'm concerned more about real world performance as it relates to my usage for servers and big part of that is SPDY SSL https based sites etc
The newer xeons have AES-NI instructions that can pump out close to 500MB/sec aes-128 in openssl bench,without spiking cpu.
I think you'd be fine with any modern E5/E3.
Somebody correct me if I'm mistaken.
I think you'd be fine with any modern E5/E3.
yup and with AES-NI Xeon v3 > v2 > v1
@MarkTurner - Incero NYC
sysbench --num-threads=2 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=25000 run
E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz
execution time (avg/stddev): 23.1779/0.00
E5-2643 v3 @ 3.40GHz
execution time (avg/stddev): 16.0713/0.00
Let me know if you wanna follow up on that.
They're actually still pretty common (depending on what location you're using), I get 3.6GHz cores all time and I deploy daily - if you end up with a 2.4GHz core just redeploy.
what location? i suspect it depends on your plan price too they wouldnt throw the 3.6 to <$20 plans
New Jersey - $8, $16, and $32 plans - haven't gone any higher as I'm fine with those plans.
-edit- I haven't tried the $5 plans for those cores so not sure about those and I have only seen the 3.4GHz cores twice over the past month, now all my deployments are either 2.4 or 3.6.
I think eva said their dedicated cloud are 3.4ghz so that's good to know because I would love to try that out eventually.
then use geekbench, that gives very detailed scores and shows CPU performance (also shows how crap most E5's are)
You forgot traffic and disk space, right? Give it 100-300$ more daily and you are close.
Does DO have filtered IP's?
Negative, but BuyVM makes a perfect selection for that
Yeah, was going to head down that road most likely lol.
