  I have to be honest, they don't look bad at all. From my experience so far, C1 is like working with a microwave, and VC1 (VPS) is much nicer, for €2.99 let's not forget.

  This is helpful but you're not mentioning what instance type at EC2.. t2 and t1 instances do heavy throttling after you use up your CPU credits[1] so it's likely that you were just using all or most of a full Xeon CPU. I got similar results on even a t2.nano.. until I used up the CPU credits. Then it slowed to a crawl! Also keep in mind that nbench only tests a single CPU[2]. Apples to apples would probably be a small m3 or m4 against a comparable DO instance. (but let's not go down that cost disparity rabbit hole.. esp EBS vs SSD or bandwidth!) 1. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/t2/ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/t2/ 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBench#Shortcomings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBench#Shortcomings
