Our Commitment
Every piece of content on BestUSAVPS is created with one goal: helping you make an informed decision about VPS hosting. We never let affiliate partnerships, advertising, or vendor relationships influence our ratings, rankings, or recommendations.
How We Rate Providers
Each VPS provider is rated on a 5-point scale based on five weighted categories:
| Category | Weight | What We Measure |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | 30% | CPU benchmarks, disk I/O, network speed, latency consistency |
| Value | 25% | Price-to-performance ratio, included features, renewal pricing |
| Features | 20% | Datacenter coverage, OS options, backups, DDoS, API, snapshots |
| Ease of Use | 15% | Control panel quality, deployment speed, documentation |
| Support | 10% | Response time, accuracy, available channels, 24/7 availability |
Testing Methodology
Our benchmark suite is standardized across all providers:
- CPU: Sysbench prime calculation (single-thread + multi-thread), median of 3 runs spaced 24 hours apart
- Disk I/O: fio random 4K read/write IOPS, sequential 1M read/write throughput
- Network: iperf3 to 5 US endpoints, traceroute analysis, sustained throughput tests
- Stability: 7-day monitoring for CPU steal, memory pressure, I/O latency spikes
- Real workloads: WordPress TTFB, Docker build times, PostgreSQL pgbench
Content Standards
- All benchmark data comes from our own tests — we never copy numbers from other review sites
- Pricing is verified directly from provider websites and updated monthly
- We disclose when content contains affiliate links
- Factual errors are corrected within 24 hours of discovery
- Reviews are updated when providers change their offerings significantly
- We clearly label opinion vs. data-backed statements
Independence from Advertisers
BestUSAVPS earns revenue through affiliate commissions. This means when you click a link to a provider and sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. However:
- Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings or rankings
- We've rated providers with affiliate programs as low as 3.0/5
- We've rated providers without affiliate programs as high as 4.6/5
- No provider can pay for a higher rating, featured placement, or positive review
- Our affiliate disclosure lists all commercial relationships
