Why is Everyone Lying About The Best VPS? Full Analysis

There are A LOT of reviews for THE BEST VPS. However, I find them quite surface-level and often not accurate at all. So, I did my own analysis!
🔥 ScalaHosting: emit.reviews/go/scalahosting?... (My Choice)
🔥 Contabo: emit.reviews/go/contabo?bvps (Cheapest)
Other choices that are worth your money:
✅ Hetzner: emit.reviews/go/hetzner?bvps
✅ A2Hosting: emit.reviews/go/a2hosting-vps...
✅ Cloudways: emit.reviews/go/cloudways?bvps
✅ DigitalOcean: emit.reviews/go/digitalocean?...
When looking for content around the best VPS available, I found that 99.9% of the information is complete garbage. Basically just marketing material for expensive and slow VPS providers that offer the highest commissions to those who recommend the service.
Frustrated, I decided to do my own analysis and experiments by comparing the physical hardware each provider offers, the level of support and features they offer as well as the selling price to find the BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK services.
In the end, I've featured all of the providers I found to offer the best VPS services in this video. For reference, you can use this as a hardware cheat sheet
⚡ HARDWARE LIST I COMPILED ⚡
Contabo - AMD EPYC 7282 2.8 GHz | 2019
ScalaHosting - Intel® Xeon® Gold 6444Y Processor @ 3.60 GHz | 2023
Hetzner - Neoverse-N1 | Up to 16 vCPUs, 32 GB of ECC RAM and 320 GB of NVMe SSD-based storage | 2019
A2Hosting - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 @ 2.10GHz | 2016
Cloudways - Intel Xeon Gold 6248 @ 2.50 Ghz | 2020
Bluehost - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2.20GHz | 2016
HostGator - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.4 Ghz | 2014

10:32 - What Should YOU Buy?
Virtual Private Servers are a great choice when it comes to hosting. Providers like Contabo / A2 Hosting & Hetzner basically offer you $30+ performance for less than $5 with the tradeoff being you have to put in a lil bit of work yourself.
Providers like ScalaHosting or Cloudways charge more (but still reasonable) and take the responsibility for management into their own hands, leaving you with a way faster solution that's scalable and easy to work on.

I'm leaving the CPU hardware list I found in this comment. I tested multithreaded performance, a more accurate test might of been single-core performance, but due to the fact that I don't know how the providers virtualize their cores, I stuck with the multicore comparison on the "overall" quality of the servers. 🔥 ScalaHosting: emit.reviews/go/scalahosting?bvps (My Choice) 🔥 Contabo: emit.reviews/go/contabo?bvps (Cheapest) ✅ Hetzner: emit.reviews/go/hetzner?bvps ✅ A2Hosting: emit.reviews/go/a2hosting-vps?bvps ✅ Cloudways: emit.reviews/go/cloudways?bvps ✅ DigitalOcean: emit.reviews/go/digitalocean?bvps ⚡ HARDWARE LIST I COMPILED ⚡ Contabo - AMD EPYC 7282 2.8 GHz | 2019 ScalaHosting - Intel®Xeon®Gold 6444Y Processor @ 3.60 GHz | 2023 Hetzner - Neoverse-N1 | Up to 16 vCPUs, 32 GB of ECC RAM and 320 GB of NVMe SSD-based storage | 2019 A2Hosting - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 @ 2.10GHz | 2016 Cloudways - Intel Xeon Gold 6248 @ 2.50 Ghz | 2020 Bluehost - Intel Xeon e5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz | 2016 HostGator - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.4 Ghz | 2014 Hostinger - AMD EPYC 7543P @ 2.8 GHz | 2021 Good luck with your servers, let me know if you have any other questions!

Subscribed because of this video. Simply amazing. Thanks for summing everything up. 🤝🏻

[@__Aasim]

Man your content is gold, you got yourself a sub. I have a question as I have opened a Web Dev Studio, what will be best for clients, shared hosting or VPS hosting?

[@Emit.Reviews]

VPS for sure. Ive actually made a video on this specific topic. Showcasing how you can maximize performance and customer satisfaction kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJSYlJyDrNV3ebssi=jJJkYiVf8FqQcoPm

[@madesomabali]

Great review! Scala hosting use AWS for their Singapore server. Is this the same hardware? Thanks

[@mdsakib08]

How good is the Linode shared CPU cloud hosting? Can you make a video about Linode cloud hosting? Thanks.

[@JavArButt]

love your content. you did an amazing job. finding out this information about the cpu is really valuable. so, thank you

[@MotinQ]

What about bandwidth available and trafict's limits?, I think that these parameters are important also.

[@GarrettVFord]

great video thanks for all your research and easy to understand presentation

[@TheSecurityAgency]

Who the hell is going to pay for Spanel? All you need is a Debian installation, an IP address and root credentials. I'll stick with my home server behind a Cloudflare tunnel for now. The only thing that bothers me is my ADSL 100/40, and I need a public static IP for the stun/turn server.

[@tzkldk]

Fabulous review. Saved me hours of research. At the end of which, to be honest, I would've still. picked a suboptimal vendor.

[@tmakademia3526]

Nice, but can you compare the power of CPU: Hetzner, Contabo, Webtropia, Strato, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, Kamatera etc?

[@newindia2290]

hi can u please compare scalahosting vs liquid web which is best comment / make a video please

[@devonrd]

Freaking hero for doing this research. Got yourself a sub!

[@ysfpresents4952]

Another valuable video. Thank you, Emit. I have a request: could you please create a video discussing Cloud Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Cloud VPS Hosting? Specifically, We would like to understand the differences between these three types of hosting and determine which one would be the best option for our needs.

[@Emit.Reviews]

Hello. You're in luck cause Ive already made that video! :D it also includes an overview of "shared" hosting but I also cover the differences between Cloud and VPS plans. Watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5m1hYibZrKNqZIsi=TEuvEXh4oQFnHMXM

[@kanny8742]

Subscribed 😂 Bro got exactly what I was looking for

[@Emit.Reviews]

Thanks for the sub!

[@gabespartan]

what is inMotion's CPU benchmark?

[@CarlosPedroche]

Hello Emit. I think it would be great, for most of us, non-techies, if you made a video explaining which third-party services/apps/software (SSL certificates, LiteSpeed, cPanel, Malware scanning, etc, what other services am I forgetting?) ARE NECESSARY to build a server from zero (DigitalOcean, Vultr, RunCloud, etc) and that has all the tools I mentioned before (SSL certificates, LiteSpeed, cPanel, etc.) that Managed Cloud/WordPress servers (Kinsta, ScalaHosting, WPEngine, etc) have. Thanks.

[@Emit.Reviews]

If you want to do it for free. SSL - its a free service using lets encrypt. Litespeed - they have OpenLiteSpeed which is a free version of the software you can install on the server. Control panel - there are free options like CloudPanel/CyberPanel that can be installed. These 3 (SSL/control panel/web server) are enough to build a server from zero thats functioning. The trickiest part is configuring and setting up your own email server ( to a point that I dont even recommend doing it) and just use something like GSuite from Google instead. I have a similar video already made going through the steps of configuring your own VPS kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXuxZKqEqKdloa8 As for malware scanners, the best scanner is common sense :) and after all of these are taken care of, you can set up a free CDN from Cloudflare and you pretty much recreated a Managed server

[@EliotYoye-ri1pe]

Extremely helpful, thanks Emit

[@user-wl2bf7yq2d]

Is scala vps 29.95 dollar plan good enough for a wordpress blog ?

[@dickensckigozi774]

Does scala hosting run on windows?

[@Emit.Reviews]

No, its Linux

[@kevenCodes]

Comment for the algo. Thank you for your research.

[@RoyOlsen]

You are using the wrong CPU numbers, you need to check the single thread performance.

[@Emit.Reviews]

I fully understand what your saying. And ive tried doing "weighted" tests based on core counts before. They simply didnt match up at all with "real world" loading speed tests. There might be multipe factors to this, but the most likely is overcrowding on servers. Most providers virtualize them into usually 2 or 4 virtual CPUs for a single core. So you dont really get a "core" to yourself and multicore performance is what determines the quality of the server overall. I know it sounds retarded, but the reality is They're always oversell and look for ways to give you less for more

[@RoyOlsen]

@@Emit.Reviews I understand, but here the combined multithreaded performance is compared, which makes no sense at all. You can not expect the provider to sell the same amount of vCPU on a 12 core CPU as an 18 core CPU. Comparing the total theoretical performance of these CPUs is simply not relevant as you are buying individual threads (or fractions of threads). You can generally expect that buying one vCPU on a 3.8 GHz 12 core CPU will outperform buying one vCPU on a 2.4 GHz 36 core CPU. Even though the latter has a much higher combined multithreaded performance. Of course, CPU generation and over-provisioning, if any, also comes into play. For any true comparison you need to understand the level of over-provisioning (several providers offer dedicated threads or cores) and the single threaded performance.

[@Emit.Reviews]

What Im looking for mostly is simply what type of CPU they tend to use for the servers on the cheapest plan. It tells a lot in itself, as you can get much newer stuff for the same price. But ill try to think of a better way to test it

[@Exotictravelo]

Hello emit, Can im purchase vps starter plan without cpanel for install smpt server on the vps server?

[@cyborg-yj6iu]

of course you can

[@cyborg-yj6iu]

need static IP and a domain name, a domain name you need it only if you want to make it much easier for people to reach your server

[@elalemanpaisa]

And he forgets about Overprovisiong

[@kunalgrover7125]

Sorry to Say, there support is really Bad, No Reply on the weekend been 3 days my server is down, no uptime commitment from their side, Business Suffering a lot, websites are down, E-commerce websites are down, Team is sitting Ideal what to do, No where to go

[@ClaudiuOvidiuStoica]

Scala are ok, but their price is huge. Your mentione price is for the first 3 years.

[@Emit.Reviews]

Yeah. But technically you can always just buy a new plan and transfer over. So no need to pay the "full" price ever

[@9eleven1877]

Netcup Root Server ✌️

[@averagedev7768]

Contabo 4 ever

[@bule7405]

It's either Hetnzer or OVH everything is is pure shit imo.

[@taxiabey6772]

This is BS. Always choose one of the big 4. Amazon, Google, Oracle and Microsoft. Any other provider is either renting from them or has low capacity.

[@Emit.Reviews]

Biggest barrier of these platforms is the skill level required to operate them. Companies have seperate departments or employees that ONLY specialize in AWS or Azure. I use AWS myself but from my experience its out of the question for most people due to the lack of ease of use. Since my videos are more tailored to beginners or self starters, managed or easier to use platforms are definitely more beneficial

[@alaskandonut]

You think Hetzner is renting compute??

[@9eleven1877]

Hetzner ARM64 ✌️
