What factors matter when choosing a VPS provider?

I like Hetzner. Very high price/performance, pretty easy, no complaints.

In no particular order:

• Price (if looking to host something low value)
• Price/performance (if longer-term)
• Details of Fair Usage Policy
• Bandwidth limits
• Overlimit pricing
• Location - proximity
• Location - creepiness of government / jurisdiction
• Reputation of the company - are they scummy? Do they oversell? Is their datacenter about to get yeeted? (cough Dedipath cough)
• Are they bullshitting me with RAID 100000 PURE SSD STORAGE!!!!!

In fact, I actually prefer HDD storage for most of my servers: for most websites, your bandwidth will be a bigger limitation than your data access speed.

I prefer VPS with good price/performance.

Has to be KVM based. Then I look at shared / dedicated CPU cores and IO disk speed.

for me price per gb ram per month because memory is always my bottleneck

Your skill level vs there support knowledge base and they type of support you may need.

Which benchmarks should one compare between providers?
