How to choose a VPS plan
Start with the distance between the server city and your users. London and Manchester may be relevant for UK workloads, while nearby alternatives include the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, France, Spain, and Poland. Location is a practical factor when comparing expected latency, but the right choice depends on where your users and services are located.
Next, compare shared and dedicated vCPU options, memory, storage, NVMe availability, and traffic limits. If you are comparing dedicated servers separately, review the CPU, storage, and port specifications. Also check whether traffic is metered or unmetered, and whether billing is hourly or monthly.
