A few months ago I started an open-source benchmark suite (MIT, not affiliated with any provider) that provisions the same sysbench + fio tests on all configured instance-types, then destroys them. It now supports 7 providers and more than 6 months of pricing and performance data.

The latest addition, UpCloud, showed quite good performance, adding another european provider to the top in terms of price/performance. Upcloud also offered the best disk speed I have seen so far for small to medium sized instances.

You can find the dashboard at https://fabianwimberger.github.io/cloud-bench/ and the source + logs under https://github.com/fabianwimberger/cloud-bench - feel free to leave me some feedback or request instances for comparison!

Been using lifetime license for ages but recent php bug forced to look for alternatives since i can no longer use old php versions.

With all alternatives, FOSSBilling gets my vote. Used Gemini to vibe code simple migration script for clients, invoices, tickets, kb, and it's everything has been working smoothly.

Just in case anyone else is looking, https://github.com/FOSSBilling is the link, and it's free.
