VPS Benchmark Results

A comprehensive dataset of VPS performance benchmarks across multiple providers. This repository collects and compares CPU, memory, disk, and network performance metrics to help you make informed hosting decisions.

Overview

Choosing the right VPS provider requires understanding real-world performance characteristics. This project provides standardized benchmark data collected using industry-standard tools, enabling fair comparisons across different providers and configurations.

Tested Providers

We regularly benchmark VPS offerings from leading providers:

• BandwagonHost — CN2 GIA-E, CN2 GIA, and standard plans (Promo: BWHCGLUKKB)
• Vultr — Regular and High Performance instances
• Additional providers coming soon

Benchmark Methodology

All tests follow a standardized protocol to ensure fair comparison:

CPU Performance

• Tool: sysbench
• Test: Prime number calculation (single-threaded and multi-threaded)
• Metric: Events per second (higher is better)
• Command: sysbench cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run

Disk I/O

• Tool: fio (Flexible I/O Tester)
• Test: Sequential read/write at 4KB block size
• Metric: Throughput in MB/s
• Command: fio --name=randread --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=16 --rw=randread --bs=4k --direct=1 --size=1G

Network Performance

• Tool: iperf3
• Test: TCP throughput between two instances
• Metric: Bandwidth in Mbps
• Command: iperf3 -c <server> -t 30 -P 4

Data Format

Benchmark results are stored as JSON in the benchmarks/ directory. Each file follows this structure:

{
  "provider": "BandwagonHost",
  "plan": "CN2 GIA-E 2GB",
  "region": "Los Angeles",
  "timestamp": "2026-03-18T11:00:00Z",
  "specs": {
    "cpu_cores": 2,
    "ram_gb": 2,
    "disk_gb": 40,
    "disk_type": "SSD"
  },
  "results": {
    "cpu_score": 2847,
    "disk_io_mbps": 485.2,
    "network_mbps": 945
  }
}

How to Contribute

We welcome contributions of benchmark data from the community:

1. Run the benchmark script on your VPS instance (see below)
2. Save the JSON output to benchmarks/
3. Submit a pull request with your results
4. Include provider details (plan name, region, specs)

Quick Start

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/devguoo/vps-benchmark-results.git
cd vps-benchmark-results

# Run benchmarks on your VPS
bash scripts/run-benchmark.sh

# Results will be saved to benchmarks/results-<timestamp>.json

Running Benchmarks

Prerequisites

Install required tools:

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y sysbench fio iperf3

# CentOS/RHEL
sudo yum install -y sysbench fio iperf3

Execute Benchmark Suite

bash scripts/run-benchmark.sh

The script will:

• Detect system specifications
• Run CPU, disk, and network tests
• Generate a JSON report
• Display results in the terminal

Benchmark results reflect performance at the time of testing. Actual performance may vary based on:

• Server load and resource contention
• Network conditions and routing
• Geographic location and latency
• Workload characteristics

Results are provided for informational purposes. Always conduct your own testing with representative workloads before making hosting decisions.
