I have three VPS for test purpose. They are coming from the different providers:
- Naranja
- Hostslick
- Virmach
The former two are from the EU, the last one is from the US.
I got the Naranja VM with a very cheap price due to their Black Friday sales. The specs include 4G memory, 2 AMD cores, 40GB NVME disk. The price is less than 30 EUR yearly.
Hostslick also provides a reasonable pricing for their products. The specs include 2G memory, 2 Intel cores, 50GB NVME disk. The price is about 25 EUR yearly.
While Virmach has a very lowend price for their BF sales. The VM I got has the specs of 1.5G memory, 1 Intel core, and 35GB disk. The price is about 9 USD yearly.
Naranja has good performance for both CPU and disk. As you see from the benchmark following.

Let’s see the benchmark of Hostslick. The server is also in NL.

---------------------------------
Test | Value
|
Single Core | 545
Multi Core | 1031
Full Test | https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/14125896Due to Intel manufacture, Hostslick’s CPU is not as good as Naranja. Though it has double cores, it can’t even be run for big data servers. Such as Hive, Drill, will get started up very slowly on this VPS. And the IO is worse than Naranja, network is almost the same.
The benchmark for Virmach has no good results. Their IO is really worse. Please see reports below.

Single Core | 516

Full Test | https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/14125818For the poor IO and CPU, this VPS can’t do anything rather than serving for several static websites. But the network seems better than the other two. This VPS is in NYC datacenter, not in NL.
So, I use Naranja as the primary development and test server. Hostslick most time acts as backup server, for instance, to deploy the different version of big data servers. Virmach isn’t that useful for dev/ops purpose.
