Decision guide

Strengths and considerations

Why it may fit
  • Unbeatable annual cash outlay for hobby workloads
  • Cheapest annual pricing in tested set ($21.99-$119.99/year)
  • Suitable for Ultra-budget hobby projects
  • Suitable for VPN
Check before buying
  • High node/plan performance variability. Aug 2026 2-vCPU sample: 943/1633 Geekbench; June 2026 5-vCPU sample: 500/1103. Different nodes, different performance.
  • CPU-sensitive production workloads
  • Need performance consistency
  • 7 vCPU advertised, but promotional plans show high performance variance. No performance guarantee on this spec alone.
