Many people use different ratings to find a suitable VPS. A large number of hosters are presented there, among which users begin to choose the right one. But can you trust them? After all, it is possible that this rating is simply paid for. Therefore, we will try to find a suitable place to choose a VPS.
How are ratings earned?
The rating is usually a separate business / part-time job that requires maintaining infrastructure and profits for the owner. Therefore, before choosing a rating, you should pay attention to how it earns. If there are no sources of monetization on it, then this is either a hobby project (which is unlikely), or a paid top. Let's take a look at monetization models.
Paid advertising
A typical way to make money is by placing banners at a fixed price. There is a ready-made price list for placement by time or number of impressions. Higher banner - more expensive. Lower is cheaper.

The points can be used to assess the main problems with which ratings sin. This is the presence of ads that can confuse the user, the lack of data about the owner of the site and the lack of a more objective technical assessment of VPS providers.
I would like to acknowledge the work of hostings.info to combat bots. To do this, they require you to leave reviews only from live accounts in social. networks.
The poiskvps and vps.today services lost two points each due to the lack of a rating system. At the same time, they remain quite good tools for searching for VPS, when you know exactly the required server characteristics.
Write in the comments how you generally choose a VPS, as well as other ratings that we might have missed. We will also add them to the review.
