Cloud server providers are quite many these days, and sommetimes its quite hard to compare as well as keep in pace with the latest development.

A useful price comparison table I found and attahed below had proven quite handy, and allowed to quickly get in line.

It appears, that new providers like Scaleway, OVH, and Hetzner provide as much as 3 times more capacity for the same price.

Some other intersting offers that an be looked at: https://www.kimsufi.com

It is definitely worth shopping around before committing to a provider for your new VPS server, isn't it?
