[GOAL] Create a website that lists VPS providers and hardware by their performance in the Tangle

Create a website that lists VPS providers and hardware by their performance in the Tangle

Priority: ()

We should have a list of VPS providers for beginners. Only tested and approved providers could be added. You could sort them by I/O, CPU benchmarks and price/performance. We would need to implement benchmark tools in the node software. Hornet already has the bench-io tool to benchmark I/O.

I made a first draft for the website in this repo. Feel free to make PRs and suggestions.

Key results

• [ ] Create and improve website that lists the prices and benchmarks of various providers
• [ ] Add common Hardware configs (Intel Nuc)
• [x] Implement CPU benchmark in Hornet
• [ ] Implement CPU benchmark in Bee
• [ ] Implement I/O benchmark in Bee
• [ ] Find a method to publish/verify results directly from the node software

CPU benchmark was implemented in Hornet with commit https://github.com/gohornet/hornet/commit/c9b6f29ca1f979652b505f3b643620b7f6cf7eb4

There is a PR to implement this in Bee too: https://github.com/iotaledger/bee/pull/843
