In early January, I saw the post for Dade2 cloud who were offering a $ 100 credit, on Webhostingtalk . I had been thinking of giving a (non-AWS/non-Google/non-Digital Ocean) cloud server a try. The offer was tempting, and decided to dive in. Account setup was easy, and the credit was applied right away. Within an hour or so I was up and running.

Nexus Bytes announced their Ryzen + NVMe offers recently onLow End Spirit among other places. I was thinking of consolidating the VPS’es in this quarter – somehow ended up building a collection of VPS’es in the second half of 2019. Jay (Seriesn) and I and separately, another user had been exchanging messages on this topic, when I finally decided to bite the bullet and sign up for this service.

I had been eyeing the AMD based VPS’es by ExtraVM for some time. I had also exchanged some messages with Mike from ExtraVm on Low End Talk about a VPS plan in Singapore. That somehow did not materialize.
On January 1st 2020, New Year’s Day, Mike Posted his offer for VPS on Low End Spirit for an AMD Ryzen based VPS, based in Dallas. The pricing after 30 percent discount (and an additional CPU core at no cost!) was tempting. I signed up for a 3 month period.

Find the benchmark of VPS by Quantumcore, Australia. VPS providers in Australia are far and few between. Quantumcore is a web hosting company that offers services down under. This KVM was on offer as a part of Black Friday 2019, which was posted on LowEndtalk. Find the results from benchmark tests including Yet Another Benchmarking Script (YABS).

Below you will find results from benchmarks on two Virtual Private Servers from Virtual Machines (Virmach). I got these deals as a part of Cyber Monday/ Black Friday Deals in 2019.

In this post, I will do a quick review of VPS by Nexusbytes. Below I am posting the results from two test setups that user @seriesn from Nexusbytes provided. They are a provider out of Middlebury, Connecticut and they contacted me through LowEndTalk requesting for my review. While I am still a learner and a beginner, I cannot let go of a chance to test out a VPS, with some new learnings (as always) along the way. Let us dive into the review right away.

This is the final set of benchmark tests on VPS’es. Starting next week, I will put them to the intended use. One quarter of idling nearly eight VPS’es is enough 🙂

A discussion on Lowendtalk forums introduced me to a new script on running benchmarks. I promptly tried it this morning and got some interesting results:

In this post are the results of running a few more benchmark tests on different KVM VPS’es machines. In particular, find the results from running the dd test and also a failed attempt at running bench.sh script.

Over the past few months thanks to LowEndtalk (and the frown of my spouse), I have managed to gather a collection of Virtual Private Servers (VPS’es). Ten at the last count. Till April this year, I did not even know what a VPS was. Five months later, I am writing a post comparing the performances of different VPS’es, some of which are  KVM, others OVZ and the rest are NAT devices.

This is the first ever benchmark that I had run on a Virtual Private Server, or a VPS, back in July 2019. The VPS service by Inception Hosting in fact was my third VPS (if include NAT based VPS from Gullo’s) but it was an exciting time for me to test out the benhcmarking tools- YABS, nench.sh, and speedtest.
