VPS comparison OVH Vs Amazon ec2 Vs Google cloud I’m going to migrate busylog.net to a VPS hosting. At the moment busylog.net is hosted on OVH shared hosting. This mean that I share IP and resources with other many sites and, more annoying, I can’t access to the server.
In order to have direct access to server (through SSH) and to have more control on server (execute root commands, add PHP and Apache modules, add services…) I’m going to migrate to a VPS.
Target is to spent not more than ~$5/mo.
I need very few hardware resources.
Below my notes and some benchmark considering 3 VPS providers:
OVH
Amazon EC2
Google Cloud
As first overview below in the Tabbed parts of this notes.

Starting from tab:“|OVH Vs. Amazon Vs. Google|”you can find some notes about my comparison among VPS. Instead about my conclusion I chose (~5 months ago) to go with OVH VPS SSD (here). After 5 months I can confirm that OVH offer is very attractive in terms of price, features, usability and service availability.
OVH Price
1 year I spent 42$ (51$ with tax) : 3.5$/months.
Moreover costs are fixed … instead with Amazon and Google according to me is a little more tricky figure out the final cost.
OVH Features
OVH bandwidth is throttled (outbound and inbound) to ~10MB/s (~100Mbps) that is anyway enough for me . With OVH there are no throttling (like Amazon) nor closure (like Google) on TCP ports. You can have for free 1 extra IP (i.e. if you need for SEO reasons) located in some region. About CPU/Disk… really this doesn’t matter for my use purposes however with Google and Amazon you can’t have 2GB/RAM and 10GB/Disk for this price.
OVH Manager Usability
The OVH VPS offer is for an “not managed” hosting: for example if you get a new IP you have to configure the linux-box (adding IP in this example) yourself: your are alone.
However the web portal provides some actions such as: install VPS(with several Linux distribution), reset password (rebooting in “Rescue” mode),reboot VPS, KVM (web shell console), manage extra disks, Backups and SnapShot …

OVH Shared Hosting VS. VPS (conclusion)
Benchmark results depends on several factors (of course as all now) one of this is geolocation of servers (geolocation of load sources respect to target). Disclaimer To be honest I didn’t put enough effort to perform a proper benchmark test as I’m used to doing for my tasks. Despite you will see numbers, load graphics and video comparison … the correct meaning is in terms of qualitative comparison (X this is probably better than Y).
About geolocation I chose a site geographically near to most parts of visitors of busylog.net (OVH datacenter in Beauharnois).
OVH Shared Hosting is instead placed in Europe. As load source (for the comparison benchmark) I chose a source geographically near to visitors of site (and consequently close to VPS) .
Disclaimer2 The below comparison is OVH VPS Vs. OVH Shared Hosting. About VPS I installed out-of-the-box without any kind of SO, MySQL and wordpress optimization (I just copied the WordPress directory from OVH Shared Hosting and copied to OVH VPS).

⭕ Is site rank increased?
After the site is migrated from OVH Shared Hosting to VPS the daily number of pages view is increased by +150%. I guess this increasing of pages view is due to site optimisation that has decreased the load time (~1sec) and increased the page score in PageSpeed Insights. Moreover (probably) the rank on google takes advantages by the IP geolocated in USA and not shared with other hosted sites.

*ip_notes a VPS placed in North America Datacenter (Beauharnois) has 1 IP geolocated in: Quebec,Canada North America … We can buy (for $2) one more IP located in US: United States New Jersey … Please consider that GEO IP location is based on DB information of geo-coordinates. So several times an IP that you bought from OVH for US is located as results in Canada.
