What do they expect when everybody is running a benchmark at the same time? Obviously it’s going to get shitty results.

I pay $18 or so a month for my VPS. I get a dedicated core, that’s about the only thing dedicated though. The space is dedicated, but the actual I/O isn’t.

It’s cheaper if you don’t want DDoS protection.

That’s what you get for $18 a month.

I don’t pay yearly for VPSes. I would for shared hosting, from BUYSHARED. I might pay yearly for a VPS from my current provider, if it had a huge discount.

That’s only $216 a year, cheaper then a year of rent. A year of rent is over two grand. If you pay full price, it’s over seven grand a year.
