Hello,

Do you know of any websites that compare the prices and features of "cloud service providers", in particular VPS (Virtual machine) offers?

So far, I've found this :

https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/
https://vpscomp.com/ (found here)
https://www.serverhunter.com/ (found here)
https://en.metadedi.net/ (found here)
https://cloudoptimizer.io/ (found here)
https://github.com/baaastijn/ovh_pricelist (OpenSource, limited to OVH)
Awesome list of Cloud VPS with price breakdown (last price update : 2021)
A price list of curated VPS hosting providers (last price update : 2022)
https://github.com/joedicastro/vps-comparison (last updated : 2017)

Comment about vpsbenchmarks.com

vpsbenchmarks.com s what I'm looking for, but I find it incomplete. For instance:

For Scaleway, I count 4 plans on vpsbenchmarks, whereas I count 45 plans on Scaleway's official website
For DigitalOcean, I count 8 plans whereas I count 32 plans on DigitalOcean's official website
For Hetzner, I count 9 plans whereas I count 22 plans on Hetzner' official website

I may not have searched properly, but I haven't found a page that lets you compare VPS offers with identical features (Shared vCPU, Dedicated vCPU...), between two cloud providers.

Comment about vpscomp.com

I didn't find Hetzner, OVH... on vpscomp.com.

Comment about serverhunter.com

serverhunter.com is my favorite service.

Problem: I only see the integration of OVH dedicated servers.

I couldn't find OVH VPS.

Comment about metadedi.net

I understand that metadedi.net is limited to dedicated servers and I'm not sure about the update dates.

Also, the GitLab project indicated on the about page no longer exists.

Comment about cloudoptimizer.io

For example, OVH and Scaleway are missing.

Where do I do my research?

I searched for this type of service on :

Google
I found this on Hackernews :
reddit seflhosted
Lemmy Selfhosted
GitHub
https://github.com/dalisoft/awesome-hosting

My VPS comparaison service of dream

OpenSource
With an API
OpenData available (downloadable in csv, yaml or json format)
When available, price fetch from cloud providers' pricing APIs, otherwise via web scraping
Price history view
View to compare VPS benchmark results, for example, based on https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script

Question

Do you know of a service that looks like this? If not, do you think it should exist?

Best regards,
Stéphane

https://lowendbox.com/ is usually recommended for cheap VPS.
