Plain-language summary

On the overall score Vultr is ahead: 74.1 vs 53.5 out of 100 — a gap of 20.6 points. But the overall score blends five categories with different weights, and your workload may only care about one of them.

Netgrid Host is stronger on disk; Vultr — on network speed, CPU and memory. On ping the difference is within noise — treat them as equal there.

What that means in practice: for a database and write-heavy work — Netgrid Host; for file delivery, streaming and backups — Vultr; for builds, encryption and compute-bound tasks — Vultr.

Where the numbers come from: the best published test of Netgrid Host was taken in United States on the 1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM plan, Vultr — in Australia on the 2 vCPU · 8 GB RAM plan. The locations differ, so compare ping and speed with care: they say as much about the route to our control endpoints as about the server itself.

Important: this compares the best published test of each provider, not an average across all their servers. Every result is a snapshot of one machine on the test date — on another node, or a month later, the numbers may differ. The scoring method and raw logs are public, so you can check them yourself.
