How did you collect all this data? How do you keep it updated?



Custom crawlers, API implementations and lots of automation. Like most search engines, it's not flawless, but it's getting better every day. :)


Yeah, some info seems to be incorrect. Like it shows vmhaus has Windows instances but after signing up I could only find *nix.


The VMHaus offers were actually added by the provider themselves in August 2018, they specifically selected Windows to be available.

On June 2017 they wrote: "Custom ISO - Use our available Windows & FreeBSD or bring your own ISO." (source: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/116203/vmhaus-new-uk-l...)

I've sent them a message to clarify. :)


Just got a reply (within 1 minute!): "I'm afraid this isn't something we offer any more - In order to install windows, you will need to provide your own ISO with VirtIO drivers included."

I've updated our website accordingly. :)
