VPS Reviews, Reviews and more Reviews
Its about time I posted my last benchmark / review and now that I have a lot of VPSes, I think I should start blogging some 96mb style VPS reviews. So expect to see some VPS reviews again :)
QuickWeb VPS Benchmark
Unix Benchmark results from QuickWeb using unixbench v 5.1.2. QuickWeb offers 2 Core i5 750 @ 2.67GHz cores on their Germany node. Brilliant result!. I am really impressed with the benchmark numbers because this is pretty close to the benchmark results of 1024MB OpenVZ with another provider that I posted earlier. Specs: 512MB OpenVZ running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit (more…)
HazeNet VPS Benchmark (latest from their XEON nodes)
Update (14-May-2011): HazeNet has been taken over by ThrustVPS / Rus Foster. Read more about it here This benchmark is #2 in the series from HazNet, the previous one was done on their Core2Quad series and this one is on their latest XEON nodes. Unix Benchmark results from HazNet using unixbench v 5.1.2. HazeNet offers 4 cores on their 1024 and 2048 packages. Specs: 1024MB OpenVZ running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit (more…)
Spacerich VPS Benchmark
Update (26-Aug-2010): From my experience, they have very huge iowait and hence I/O problems on their VPS servers. You have to wait for like 10-15 seconds for a 'uptime' command to execute which is pretty pathetic. So in my opinion, it was useless for me. Unix Benchmark results from Spacerich (OpenVZ running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit on their Munich, Germany node) using unixbench v 5.1.2 Specs: 256MB / 25GB OpenVZ running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit Note: Being in Europe, it has the best response time to Asia especially Pakistan (more…)
ThrustVPS XEN HVM Benchmark
Update (25-Aug-2010): Rus Foster from ThrustVPS.com is a blackmailer and a person with low self-esteem. He actually blackmailed me to hand him over certain domain names which he thinks believes is breaching the AUP. My accounts, VPS and the $60 of affiliate commission was terminated. I will advise everyone to KEEP AWAY from Rus Foster and ThrustVPS.com (click here to read the full review) Unix Benchmark results from ThrustVPS (XEN HVM running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on their West Coast (LA) node) using unixbench v 5.1.2 Specs: 512MB / 15GB XEN HVM running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit Note: Although the test results from the previous bechmark on their XEN PV is just average, this one is the best benchmark I had on a 512MB VPS ever! (more…)
RackVM Benchmark
Alert: (05-Sep-2010) RackVM is/was a shady business and Ben, owner of RackVM, has run away with hundreds of client's payments. As of today, all of their nodes are down. Ben just tricked everyone to his per annum offers and ran away with cash in hand. Unfortunately, I was also one of these victims. Unix Benchmark results from RackVM using unixbench v 5.1.2 Specs: 128MB / 10GB XEN PV running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS The most amazing part? well, I got this VPS for just 6pounds bi-annually (6 months), thats 1 pound per month :) Note: Although their servers are Core2Quad, I have access to 4 cores and the benchmark results (as compared with my QuickWeb 128MB XEN PV) are very good (more…)
