I have used some famous VPS providers such as Vultr, Linode, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, Amazon Cloud for a long time but I’m quite impressed with UpCloud by the quality of service (High Uptime, easy to use control panel and good support).
First, to experience UpCloud, you must register under the link here to receive $ 25 (equivalent to a 5-month free use of 1GB of Ram)
Overview of the VPS market, the configuration of each VPS is the same, each provider has its own strengths. so I wrote this article to give you an overview of UpCloud.
In this article, I will try 2 packages of UpCloud with 1GB Ram and 4GB Ram configurations, hard drive using MaxIOPS technology, Singapore and US locations to easily visualize the speed and hardware configuration,
Upcloud Plan: Simple 1GB
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2687W v4 @ 3.00GHz
CPU Cores: 1 × 3000 MHz
RAM: 1 GB
Disk: 25 GB
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic
Region: US-CHI1
