How better is Vultr HF compared to Digital Ocean for wordpress hosting?

How better is Vultr HF compared to DigitalOcean on Cloudways for wordpress hosting? Is the difference significant in terms of speed? Any scenarios where DigitalOcean can be a better option than Vultr HF?

My audience is mainly in Korea and US. And my site has Learndash and gets decent traffic (300K monthly pageviews). Which one do you think would be better?

 

Answers:

we tested both, Vultr HF had higher TTFB than DigitalOcean, so we sticked with Digital Ocean

the difference is not much for a simple or static site. If you have LMS or busy shopping site, HF can outperform. Also, check the server location. If your audience is mainly in India, go with DO since it has a data center in Bangalore.

An 8 CPU DO performs for me roughly the same as a 6 CPU HF. On smaller droplets it seems to pack more of a difference. Similar tests show the bigger you go the less difference you see.
