Sometimes newer is not better. At least not for the things that matter to you. I benchmarked two OVH VPS in the same Zurich location. My current 2025 model with a 500 Mbit network against the newer 2027 model with 1 Gbit. Same AMD EPYC Genoa cores, same provider, nearly identical sysbench CPU scores. Then the surprises started. The older box pushes 6,612 MiB/s in memory tests, the newer one 932 MiB/s. That is 7x. Random 4K reads: 1.32 million IOPS against 832k. And the old model is even about 1 EUR cheaper. For a Mastodon instance, databases, and Docker workloads, memory and disk beat extra bandwidth every time. So the shiny new VPS gets demoted to reverse proxy and backup duty, and this instance stays exactly where it is. Benchmark before you migrate. #SelfHosting #Mastodon #Fediverse #VPS #OVH #Benchmarks #Homelab #Blog #MastoAdmin
