Linux VPS, tested EC2, Linode and vultr

Hi AOG,

In one of previous post, you mentioned you are using the AWS t2.micro instance and are happy with it.

Today I spent sometime tested 3 price-comparable VPS (actully 3, but that's not for hosting) I own, all are using SSD, and it seems that the EC2 t2.micro instance has much lower disk IO rate.

I'm new to the cloud computing, and I'm wondering how that effects the overall performance...

The following is my benchmark result, using (https://github.com/mgutz/vpsbench), which is as easy as typing 2 lines of commands.

Note: More clear viewing of my result (screenshot): https://snag.gy/O9AwcV.jpg
