   More than two months in my spare time. To collect the "static" information, and create the Ansible roles and python scripts to collect the "dynamic" info (the results from the benchmarks) and finally compose the final do

   I suppose that is the same with another tools and providers. The community size and the work that the providers put on this makes a big difference IMHO. Another reason to share this in the comparison. Thanks!

   Good to know, I suppose that I would need to change that phrase to be more accurate. Thanks for sharing it.

   Linode seems to be working in a new version of their control panel, I hope that they do a great work, because for too much people the current one is a entry barrier, even when they do a very good work.

   For me too, I think that is general, I hope.

   Thanks! Yeah, I agree, that would be nice, but as I automate the creation of those tables and cut/paste them every time that I run a set of new tests, to do that would require a lot of manual job to me. That's the reason why I don

   I was not referring here about the "activity" per se, I was talking about quotas and percentages of use. No matter for what kind of activity you are going to use the service, I would like to have clear from the beginning what limi

   Thanks! And thank you very much to share your experience with us. I think that the same provider can offer you a very different experience in different regions. Even AWS is not immune to that, they had datacenters with some major outages in

   Thanks for the offer. I'll take into account.

    Thanks! Very kind of you! Well, I would like to include more, in fact I would include Ligthsail for sure if they offered a datacenter in Europe. But to start something like this you have to start small, or the costs will bury you pretty son

    That's a good idea, I suppose that would have to do the same with another tools like Apache libcloud or Ansible itself. I'll add this suggestion as an issue to the project. Thanks!

    I put you here the same reply that I gave to another user, because the answer is essentially the same. Anyway, thanks for you feedback. I understand you, but as I said in another comments, I would like to expand the comparison, but in the

    I totally agree with this, after all is common sense. Even if all the hardware were perfect, and all the software were bugless, you would still have to deal with physics and with those imperfect and error-prone machines that set up all the

    I understand you, but as I said in another comments, I would like to expand the comparison, but in the end is a question of time and costs. If I find a way to sustain the costs, or the providers itself offer me a way to test their machines,

    Interesting idea... it didn't though of that for sure. I thought of talking about how permissive the providers are with certain type of contents (like legal adult content), but it is an information not easy to collect and so I went wit

    I don't know, but as NKCSS says, you could do probably that in AWS and being a client like Netflix. But stressing instances regularly to test them to find a better one is something that you could probably do on your own, but as a servi

    Yes, probably is one of the reasons why they do those checks. I suppose also that depends a lot on the kind of plan that are you going to use, probably they do more checks for more expensive plans.

    I did not have to make that with them, but I had to pass a weird process with OVH in order to confirm my identity through a phone call, and in the process have to wait several hours until I have my server available.

    by joedicastro 9y ago

    Thanks for the information, it's very helpful. Yes, I know about the OVH plan and IPv6, but in the hurry and in the middle of all the tasks to accomplish I left behind a few things. I'll keep improving it. Thanks!

    Well, it's very useful, and in continue development. In the end you have to know what you are doing, but it will point you to very useful tips and show some warnings that you can look to improve the security of you server. But in this,

    Well, there are some very good comments in this thread, very little to add. All of those plans that I compare there use the same technology in the the end, KVM virtualization. The differences are in the "flexibility" and "ser

    Well, the only thing that you need is to execute the tests on the three of the providers, and compare them yourself if you want. Those are the keys of the project so far, reproducibility, independency and transparency. I'm inclined to

    That, I no like it. I understand it, but not like it. It's like being at their mercy (or other clients) or like if the rules were written in the shore's sand, you're well until the tide rises. I would prefer clear lines into
