So far this is the only host we have tested on this configuration — there is nothing to compare it against yet. The ranking becomes meaningful once others are added.
What a 1 vCPU · 2 GB VPS is
1 vCPU against 2 GB. A single core means everything runs in turn: a heavy build or encryption takes the whole machine, and while it does, your site answers slowly. That is 2 GB per core — a balanced, general-purpose configuration with no bias either way.
At this size there is no single bottleneck left — all four matter: CPU for the app, disk for the database, memory for the cache, network for your users. So read the overall score rather than any one number.
This amount covers a full stack on one machine. 491 MB to the database, the rest to the app and cache — and no swapping under load.
The table compares only 1 vCPU · 2 GB — nothing else is in it. That makes the numbers directly comparable: behind them is the same order placed at different companies. Confirm cost on the host's own site.
