This is an update to the original 2020 benchmarks post with a new Provider Contabo (the only slight difference is that this provider is based in Postsmouth in the UK, everyone else on the list has a London presence) and also DigitalOcean’s new option for Premium processor and storage, which yields much better results.
The OS used for the updated results was AlmaLinux 8.
