Bob Tong
Founder & Editor-in-Chief ยท VPS Rankings
10+ years of experience in web infrastructure, cloud architecture, and DevOps operations. Provided cloud planning and server selection services for dozens of cross-border projects. Firmly believes that โdata never liesโ โ all reviews are based on real purchases, actual benchmarks, and long-term monitoring.
๐ก Review Philosophy
โToo many VPS reviews out there just copy official specs and slap on affiliate links. I built VPS Rankings with one simple principle: buy with our own money, run real benchmarks, monitor long-term. We evaluate every server with engineering rigor โ benchmark scores, latency, packet loss, disk IO โ these hard metrics are the only true measure of server quality. No paid placements, no custom rankings. We let the data speak.โ
