Why we are better
Key points
Vultr claims to be 4x faster than their competition, so we took it to the next level with our in-house developed storage technology MaxIOPS. With MaxIOPS, you’ll get as much as 2x faster I/O performance compared to Vultr and by that logic; 8x faster than their competition!
MaxIOPS is specifically built to give you the best I/O performance for today’s demanding web applications and services. It often gives you up to 2x the performance of enterprise-grade SSD and is highly available thanks to our N+1 redundant infrastructure.
To this day we remain the fastest cloud server provider currently available on the market. Don’t believe us? We are #1 performance leader in Europe. Here is a highly detailed and in-depth comparisons report of the best European cloud providers on the market from Cloud Spectator.
With Vultr’s plans, you’re locked into the resource limits that are provided by the plans they have chosen for you. So what if you need to add additional CPU cores, but are happy with the amount of memory and storage? Too bad! You’ll have to upgrade to the next available plan, significantly adding to your costs as you are paying for resources you don’t actually require. Without the possibility of setting each resource independently, you will never be in complete control.
With UpCloud, you get the best of both worlds. Each cloud server can be deployed using a Simple, discounted plan or with fully customizable Flexible resource limits, completely according to your budget and needs. You can even switch between Simple plans and Flexible configurations whenever you want!
In a large, 50+ page study by Cloud-Spectator, UpCloud was the clear performance and reliability winner among industry leaders such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft. With higher performance during the entire study, UpCloud gave the most reliable bang for the buck.
