Virtual Private Servers.... There's a little bit to know here. I was trying to find a good comparison site. Didn't see one so thought I'd toss my notes up here. These prices were as of December, 2024.
- Not all hosts are the same.
- Shared vCPU = Allowing multiple customers to compete for the same vCPU
- Dedicated vCPU = No one else can have it
- vCPU = # processors ✖️ ( # cores ✖️ # of threads ). E.g. my home computer has 1 processor with 8 cores, and 8 threads. = 64vCPU
Let's start making some notes....
