Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker of CloudWorth. Like many developers and sysadmins, I’ve spent years deploying instances across various cloud providers and VPS hosts. But time and again, I ran into the same frustrating issue: what you see on paper isn't always what you get in reality. We’ve all been there—paying for 4 vCPUs or "high-performance NVMe," only to realize our applications are throttling because of hidden CPU Steal Time, disk I/O bottlenecks, or noisy neighbors on over-sold nodes. Traditional benchmark tools give you wall-of-text terminal outputs that are hard to parse, compare, or share. That’s why I built CloudWorth—a lightweight, zero-friction platform to benchmark your cloud servers, expose performance bottlenecks, and analyze your true resource costs. ⚡ What CloudWorth brings to the table: * CPU Steal Time & Over-selling Detection: Uncover whether your provider is silently throttling your compute power. * Deep Disk I/O & Network Latency Checks: Test real-world 4K random read/write speeds and network stability. * Visualized Shareable Reports: Generate clean, interactive Web reports instantly—no complex setup required. * Cost vs. Performance Analysis: Understand exactly what you’re paying for versus the actual performance delivered. 🎁 PH Community Special: We want to help everyone audit their infrastructure! You can try out CloudWorth right away to test your instances and see where your servers really stand. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you have. What’s the worst "cloud over-selling" trap you’ve ever encountered? Drop your questions and thoughts below—I'll be here all day responding! 🚀

How do you detect CPU Steal Time & over-selling on your cloud VPS?

When renting budget VPS or cloud instances, what s advertised on paper isn t always what you get in reality.

Many providers silently over-sell CPU resources, leading to high CPU Steal Time, sluggish disk I/O, or sudden performance degradation during peak hours.

We built CloudWorth (https://getcloudworth.com) to help developers and sysadmins easily benchmark server performance, expose CPU Steal Time, and audit true resource costs with clean, shareable reports.

I'd love to hear from the community:
