Source-dated VPS comparison
This is not a winner badge. It records the plan facts we could verify, the differences that matter, and where you should re-check the provider before buying.

Promotion context: New-customer 3-year promotional price observed at C$12.95/month.
The index uses the 1-month regular/renewal price instead of the 3-year acquisition promotion. HostPapa says all renewal-page prices are CAD and taxes are extra.
CPU scheduling, storage capacity/media, transfer, backup, IP allocation, support scope, billing term and region can be worth more than a small monthly price difference. Choose the operating model that matches the workload.
Both observed headline figures are in CAD, but promotion and renewal rules still differ.
Descriptions of HostPapa come from the linked provider source and are date-stamped. DotMoose does not imply affiliation, endorsement or independent testing of that provider.
vCPU count is not a benchmark. CPU generation, contention, storage, network path and workload all matter. See the DotMoose benchmark methodology and raw evidence instead of treating plan-table numbers as speed scores.
