About VPSBenchmarks
VPSBenchmarks is the world leading service for measuring the performance of cloud servers. Every year, more than 30 providers and 150 servers are tested in depth and their performance is reported at https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com. VPSBenchmarks has been evaluating cloud servers since 2014.
Test Methodology
VPSBenchmarks buys cloud servers directly from cloud providers. It sets them up with Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 and installs test software on each new instance. The specifications of tested servers are collected and uploaded to VPSBenchmarks. Four types of benchmarks are run on every instance:
- Web
- Sysbench CPU, storage and memory
- Network Transfers
- Endurance
Numerous metrics are generated from each benchmark and they are grouped into performance categories (Web, CPU, Disk IO, Network and Stability). Then a grade from A to F is calculated in each category for the evaluated server.
Introduction
LayerStack commissioned VPSBenchmarks to evaluate the performance of virtual machines (VMs) from different Cloud Service Providers (CSPs): Linode, and Vultr. VPSBenchmarks tested the various VMs to evaluate the performance of Web, CPU, Disk IO, Network and Stability of each provider’s VMs. The purpose of this report was to understand Cloud service performance among major Cloud providers with similarly-sized VMs using a standardized, repeatable testing methodology. Based on the analysis, LayerStack’s VM performance was superior in nearly all measured VM performance dimensions, and LayerStack provides some of the most compelling performance per dollar available in the industry.
Cloud Server Plans
This report compares the performance of the cloud servers with the specifications and prices listed below.
Performance Metrics
Endurance
The Endurance tests runs a CPU intensive test on the VPS for 24 hours straight. The throughput of the test as well as its stability are measured and collected.
Ops per hour
Sysbench
The Sysbench tests measure the performance of the CPU, disk IO and memory on each tested server.
Multi Threaded Ops per second
Single Threaded Ops per second
Sequential Disk IO Write Speed 4k blocks
Sequential Disk IO Read Speed 4k blocks
By using enterprise SSD, LayerStack provides blazing-fast disk I/O speeds on solid-state disk hardware, data will always store in high availability RAID arrays for redundancy.
Random Disk IO Read Speed 4k blocks (no validate opt)
Random Disk IO Read Latency
By using enterprise SSD, LayerStack provides blazing-fast disk I/O speeds on solid-state disk hardware, data will always store in high availability RAID arrays for redundancy.
Memory Read Transfer Speed
Transfers
Network Transfers measures the network download and upload speeds of transformed performed to and from the closest Speedtest servers.
Network Download Speed
LayerStack provides unlimited traffic for all cloud server plans. One of our blogs shares more details: https://blog.layerstack.com/cloud-providers-data-transfer-study-unlimited-bandwidth-traffic/
Network Upload Speed
Web Runs
Web Runs are designed to measured the latencies of a web application running on the VPS. The tests are run locally at various rates of requests per second. Latencies and error rates are collected at each load level.
Web Max Request Rate
Web Average Latency
Web P99 Latency
LayerStack provides 100GigE Networking to reduce network congestion on big data runs.
Web CPU Idle
P99 minus Mean Response Time
Latencies Standard Deviation
Conclusion
The VPSBenchmarks report reveals LayerStack is competitive with the hyperscale providers. LayerStack displayed excellent performance values in all areas, including Web, CPU, Disk IO, Network and Stability. Also, LayerStack combines an aggressive pricing strategy with outstanding web performance and excellent computational performance. These positions LayerStack as a world-class Cloud Service Provider. LayerStack offers machines for a variety of use cases, meeting requirements that span individual end-users, developers as well as large-scale enterprises.
