RackDiff
compare VPS & dedicated servers by price, not commission.
I built RackDiff because every hosting comparison I found sorted by affiliate commission, not by actual value. RackDiff pulls real prices twice daily, shows Trustpilot scores for transparency, and never ranks a provider higher because they pay more. Built with Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Python scrapers on a single €9/month VPS.
Hi, I'm Dirk. I built RackDiff after spending too many evenings with 10 browser tabs open, cross-checking VPS prices that were probably sorted by affiliate commission anyway. RackDiff scrapes 150+ VPS and dedicated server offers from providers like Hetzner, Contabo, and IONOS twice a day and always sorts by cost. Trustpilot scores are included so you can see what actual customers say.
We also write setup guides for self-hosters. Each one has an interactive calculator where you plug in your usage and get a concrete server recommendation:
Immich Setup Guide: your own Google Photos replacement with face recognition
Paperless-ngx on VPS: OCR, auto-categorization, the full paperless workflow
Ollama Self-Hosting: local LLMs on a 6 euro/month server instead of ChatGPT Plus
What self-hosting use cases would you want us to cover next?
