Show HN: Compare Cloud and Bare Metal Servers

21 points - 04/02/2025


I built ServerSearcher (https://serversearcher.com) to make it easier to find cloud/virtual and bare-metal servers that match specific requirements like RAM, location, or CPU. The idea came from my own frustration trying to compare cloud servers across dozens of provider websites. There are a lot of server marketplaces and hosts, but I couldn’t find a single place to search across all of them with proper filters. So I made one.

ServerSearcher indexes servers from a few providers but I have only just started and there are more providers being added at the moment.

Next I'll be looking at adding GPU support as that was a second frustration.

    Actually quite useful. Agree that this is a source frustration for anyone trying to make a decision about server providers.

        This is neat and I share your frustration. I've wanted to build this for a while and nice to see you've got something up.

        Can't wait to see this grow into the tool I think we all need.

            Thanks for the support. Growing the number of providers is the next focus now I've got something live, will be adding some more shortly.

            Is the price per month or year?

                Price /Month, it mentions that in the column header only at the moment. The pricing cell is already cluttered, but I agree it might be better there!

                Thanks.
