Where do the prices come from?
From providers' and registrars' official APIs and public price lists through OpenVibe.Sources, or from staff entries that name the page they came from. Every price shows the day it was checked and links its source.

Hosting, compared honestly
OpenVibe.Host compares hosting: plans from providers' official APIs and staff entries that name their source, priced per month, per vCPU and per GB, each dated and linked to its source; offers posted on LowEndSpirit's Offers board; domain prices per ending with a name check at the registry; and benchmarks people run with YABS on their own servers. Its console lists your own servers on Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr and Hetzner Cloud in one place. The order comes only from the visitor's sort; affiliate links are marked. Static hosting is OpenVibe.Space.

What you can do
- Sourced prices Plans come from providers' official APIs or from staff entries that name the page they were copied from. Nothing is estimated.
- Dated Every price shows the day it was last checked, and each plan keeps its price history.
- Compare what matters Sort by monthly price or by price per vCPU, per GB of RAM or per GB of disk; unknown values stay unknown.
- Ranked by you No paid placement: affiliate links are marked, disclosed beside the link, and never change the order.
- Domains too Every ending's first year, renewal, transfer and five-year cost, a mark where the renewal jumps, and a name check at the registry.
Questions
6 questions this site answers about itself. Each one has its own page, so it can be linked and found on its own.
Can I compare domain names?
Yes. Domains shows what registrars charge for each ending for the first year, a renewal and a transfer, and five years added up. A name check asks the registry whether a name is taken.
Does anyone pay to be ranked higher?
No. The order comes only from the sort you pick. Affiliate links are marked and disclosed beside the link, and never change the order.
Can I host a website here?
Static site hosting is OpenVibe.Space.
What is the console?
One list of your own servers on Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr and Hetzner Cloud, at openvibe.host/console. Connect each account with its own API token: Host checks it with the provider, seals it and never shows it again. From the list you can power a server on or off or reboot it, and see when the catalog has the same size for less. Disconnecting deletes the token.
Where do the benchmarks come from?
From people running YABS on their own servers with a one-time link from openvibe.host/catalog/benchmarks/new. A result keeps the CPU, memory and disk, Geekbench scores with their public link, fio disk speeds, iperf3 network speeds and the city and network. Never the server's address, and never who ran it on the public page.
