VPS Provider Reviews
💻N100 Mini PC vs VPS
Is a $200 Intel N100 mini PC better than a cloud VPS for self-hosting? Real cost analysis including power, bandwidth, and performance.
Why This Matters
Running AI agents on a VPS is the most cost-effective way to deploy in 2026. A $5-10/month Hetzner CPX instance runs OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Ghost CMS, or any other self-hosted stack 24/7 with reliable uptime and full control.
The problem? Choosing the wrong VPS costs you in performance, reliability, and headaches. We test each provider hands-on — deploying real AI agents, measuring real uptime, and comparing real costs — so you know exactly what you're getting before you hand over your credit card.
