  • Review of VPS’es from Nexusbytes- Part I

    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.

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.

  • Mini-review: IntoVPS, Cluj

    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.
