Hosting Guides & Cloud Benchmarks

Every guide in this library starts on a real server purchased with a normal credit card, not a sponsored demo account. We install the same Ubuntu 24.04 image on each VPS, run the same Sysbench and FIO workloads, and publish the numbers even when they contradict a provider marketing page.

You will find three kinds of content: benchmark reports that rank hosts by measured TTFB, NVMe IOPS and CPU steal; side-by-side comparisons for choosing between two providers; and step-by-step sysadmin tutorials for hardening, tuning and deploying production workloads. Each article states its prerequisites, the commands involved and how to verify the result.

Start with the 40+ provider directory if you already know your budget, browse verified coupon codes if you are ready to deploy, or open the Linux tutorial silo to learn the operational side of running a VPS.
