BestUSAVPS reviews 26 VPS providers that sell servers in US datacenters. Each review lists the plans, US locations, transfer allowances and billing rules as published by the provider, with a Sources section naming the pages the numbers came from. The site publishes no benchmark measurements of its own. The about page explains how pages are ranked.
Pages are revised in order of how much traffic they receive, and each revised page shows the month its prices were read. Older reviews may still carry earlier prices until they are revised; the review's own Sources section is the place to check. Each review page shows the last-updated date.
No provider pays for a review or a rating. Some links are affiliate links, marked with rel="sponsored" and a disclosure line where they appear; those links only go to providers on pages whose ranking rule they win, and the rule is written before the prices are collected.
