Let's start with the specs.
It's "fine" for programming stuff, but you can't really even host a simple website on this that gets a moderate amount of traffic.
Regarding speed, it's, well, not the worst I guess. Still, you're gonna get some slow speed outside US... Which is also why I don't recommend this VPS to anyone living in anywhere outside America. Since you can only do simple tasks with it, the latency will probably kill you *_*.
In Disk Speed it's just a regular SSD, nothing fancy or really fast. But those are not the biggest problems with this VPS...
It has been pretty stable thusfar I guess, having an uptime for 8 days, but...
3. The problem...
FDC has an extremely inactive community, and its owner has threatend to shut down multiple times. He isn't getting any money and he doesn't look like he will, so please only use this as a quick test enviroment if you really need to. Heck, why would you even use this VPS? Just set up a damn VM or something for your testing, because that's all you're gonna do with this thing.
Rating: 4/10
3-word-conclusion: Just please don't.
