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://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9241159))
- https://www.serverhunter.com/ (found [here](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20537209))
- https://en.metadedi.net/ (found [here](https://en.metadedi.net/))
- https://cloudoptimizer.io/ (found [here](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26846163))
- https://github.com/baaastijn/ovh_pricelist (OpenSource, limited to OVH)
- [Awesome list of Cloud VPS with price breakdown](https://github.com/leogallego/awesome-vps-price-breakdown) (last price update : 2021)
- [A price list of curated VPS hosting providers](https://github.com/boywithkeyboard/vps-hosters) (last price update : 2022)
- https://github.com/joedicastro/vps-comparison (last updated : 2017)
## Comment about [vpsbenchmarks.com](https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/)
[vpsbenchmarks.com](https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/) s what I'm looking for, but I find it incomplete. For instance:
- For Scaleway, [I count 4 plans](https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/instance_types/scaleway) on vpsbenchmarks, whereas I count 45 plans on [Scaleway's official website](https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/?tags=compute)
- For DigitalOcean, [I count 8 plans](https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/hosters/digitalocean) whereas I count 32 plans on [DigitalOcean's official website](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/droplets)
- For Hetzner, [I count 9 plans](https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/hosters/hetzner) whereas I count 22 plans on [Hetzner' official website](https://www.hetzner.com/cloud)
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](https://vpscomp.com/)
I didn't find Hetzner, OVH... on [vpscomp.com](https://vpscomp.com/).
## Comment about [serverhunter.com](https://www.serverhunter.com)
[serverhunter.com](https://www.serverhunter.com) is my favorite service.
Problem: I only see the integration of [OVH dedicated servers]((https://www.serverhunter.com/company/ovh/)).
I couldn't find [OVH VPS](https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/compute/).
## Comment about [metadedi.net](https://en.metadedi.net/)
I understand that [metadedi.net](https://en.metadedi.net/) is limited to dedicated servers and I'm not sure about the update dates.
Also, [the GitLab project](https://gitlab.com/Ne00n/metaDedi-Filters) indicated on the [about page](https://en.metadedi.net/index.php?p=about) no longer exists.
## Comment about [cloudoptimizer.io](https://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 :

- [Show HN: Server Hunter – Easily browse over 11,000 VPS and Dedicated Servers](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19140834)

## 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
