Proprietary dataset
VPS price tracker
A compounding dataset of the plans we track — not a one-shot scrape of a vendor page. Each snapshot freezes list prices so later weeks can show real moves.
What we track
2 snapshots · 28 plans · latest 2026-08-22 · currency USD (EUR hosts approximated)
- List prices only — published monthly rates from vendor pricing pages we cite in Sources.
- Same SKU over time — we key on provider + plan name so renames show as adds/removes.
- Promo honesty — Hostinger and similar intro rates are stored as listed; guides call out renewal risk.
- Open method — snapshots live in-repo; run
snapshot_prices.pywhen plans change.
