Now you have frappe cloud to check

I belive that we need a script to check/benchmark the server. Only then we can find the best one based on price/performance.
For instance I use
wget -qO- bench.sh | bash
and I check
Average I/O speed : 832.3 MB/s (This is 10USD Digital Ocean server)
For disk performance I issue:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test2.img bs=1024 count=10000 oflag=dsync
Result is 10240000 bytes (10 MB, 9.8 MiB) copied, 10.2942 s, 995 kB/s
I am complete noob by the way. Some other may use Phoronix Test Suite.
Another thing is support and long term behaviour. I mean how many times we had an issue when connecting to the server via ssh or ERPNext desk or control panel of the server provider.

If we can decide a bash script which benchmarks the server, we can create a Google Sheet which anyone can enter their provider, monthly cost and their benchmark results.

No swap
Am using Digital Ocean, Vultr and now Contabo for half a year. Have found Contabo to be excellent value for money. Just make sure you purchase the Xeon processor one which is much better than i7 version. However even i7 works well. Using a couple of i7 for VPS for testing apps.
Unfortunately, we have new regulation here in Turkey. We have to use local service providers. That means we can’t try frappecloud in production also. We also have few international customers although.
So you need to find local service providers but not good as always.
Self hosting is better then.
If this regulation is present then the government must have given incentives to local server providers, Maybe you should find some local server providers or start a cloud business yourself 
That way you might make more money 
Thank you @fkardame for you suggestions 
We want to improve the quality of our services but that cloud and server thing needs specialized labour. That seems not our business. Past 2 weeks we’ve tested 4 providers. And best benchmark tool was “time bench restore” . Some servers do that in 100-200 seconds, some others in 1000 seconds.
Go with Contabo. Have been using for 3 years now. Quite satisfied with the servers.

I like their prices
But very worried about the reviews that trashes the quality of their servers and the speed of their network.
So you will take them over Digital Ocean?
@olamide_shodunke Personal experience, stay away from Contabo. Not friendly to users from our part of the world. I learnt that the hard way and lost money and time in the process.
Thanks
DO has been real nice to me for the past 4 years or so. Maybe I should just take my eyes off the tempting cheap prices from the likes of Contabo and continue my love affair with them. DO has been spectacular so far.
Contabo works fine for our region. No complaints so far for past 2 years on about 6 servers.
We have around 10 servers in Contabo. 1 of them consistenly have problems. Sometimes due to network, sometimes maintenance, etc. I am not sure why but this is the reason that some of the users are pretty happy some of them not.
I’ve one server in Digital Ocean, never had a problem.
At the end, with Contabo or not we need to have backup strategy. This one can be a starting point Automated continuous master/slave streaming backup

I guess it’s in Dusseldorf. There’s 1 node that constantly has an issue. Otherwise never had an issue with other nodes in Dusseldorf. Other German locations work fine. Unfortunately, within Germany user cannot choose a location.

We are building a two stage ERPNEXT with 13.x as Production and 14.x as Development System with Contabo and Docker at this Stage everything works perfect.
