We have run a full suite of performance tests on the Shared 1GB VPS plan of Linode. VPSBenchmarks bought, setup the server and started the tests.
On this page, you'll find:
Provider | Plan | Monthly price | Hourly billing | Num CPU cores | Memory (GB) | Disk space (GB) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Linode | Shared 1GB | $5.00 | Yes | 1 | 1 | 25 |
Datacenter | CPU type | CPU details | OS, Kernel and Virtualization | Data transfer (GB) |
---|---|---|---|---|
us-east-1a | Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz |
Frequency: 2.5 GHz |
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.9.50 KVM |
1000
Max bandwidth: 1000Mbps |
Note: the CPU details Frequency is the frequency observed at the start of the trial. It may vary as the trial progresses.
Grades are calculated by combining results from web, sysbench, endurance, yabs (geekbench, fio, iperf3) and network transfers tests.
Grade A is best, grade F is worst. Follow the letter links to find the test results backing the grade.
Overall Score: 27 (Price Weighted)
Note: A low grade on a low price VPS does not necessarily mean the VPS is underperforming, the server may still perform better than other servers at the same price. Use the Price Weighted Grades or the Best VPS 2024 rankings to find the best VPS in each price range.
Web performance is measured locally on the VPS and includes Rails app response times to live web traffic as well as system metrics.
