Are they all just AWS resellers?
It’s actually the opposite. AWS will run on top of other hosting providers for some services and regions. That’s why you’re paying so much for AWS.
wait, what?

#22Would be interested in seeing Katapult thrown into the mix. They're more expensive but I've found them to be overall very good. http://katapult.io/
YABS for that here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3421306/#Comment_3...

No. You're paying so much because (a) they make a lot of money ($20bn yearly profit) and (b) they have an extremely large headcount which are building the large number of services they provide.
Never heard of them running on other providers though.
Surely that would a problem for all of the compliance e.g. HIPAA, FIPS ?

#25For shared CPU VPS, the biggest problem is noisy neighbors. Running a test for a few minutes on a single machinge probably doesn't tell you much.
The machine on one provider might be experiencing more load than a similar machine at a different provider, biasing the results.
That being said, Vultr has been good for our purposes.

This could not be more incorrect. Stop spread BS and read up some before commenting thinks you obviously have no idea about.

#27Why not ovh's option called kimsufi or not Hetzner?
Hetzner was likely excluded because they have a habit of preventing signups, randomly banning accounts, or blackholing traffic exactly when your app is taking off because their shitty tech thinks your system was compromised or under a DDOS attack.

#28added raspberry pi's results too

#29> Linode had the slowest cpus at just under 2Ghz
Uhh, a statement like this somewhat hurts the ability to trust the other claims of the benchmark. Sure, Linode has the lowest clock speed, but you're comparing Epyc Milan which is almost a decade newer than the Sandy-Bridge EP of Cloudfanatic for example. Unsurprisingly, this is even reflected in the one cpu benchmark run, geekbench, which Linode comes first in.
