Well, the speeds are quite good. average of 100 MB/s I/O is good enough for most purposes. Also the download speeds are awesome. But I understand that they need to be good, since it's on a good, reliable network: GHOSTSnet.

At first the processor seems to be old, and it is, the 3rd gen. Intel Core i7. Though it's a strong octa-core, so appearances are deceptive.

Yup, those speeds are quite good...

Control Panel

Unfortunately there's no control panel (yet).

Suggestions

Nope.


Final Ratings
The VPS is quite good. I might rate it as the best P4V has!

Simply because I rated my DigitalOcean one at 9/10, but that one is better, I give this one a 8/10. BN
Final Rating 8/10


Special thanks to TrK, since I used his review as a "template" for mine.

pretty nice review @RickB, VPS connectivity speed is awesome and it is good for testing purpose and a small production site.

Probably since the GHP VPS is the only one which is not donated by any sponsor. The Canadian servers really suck just as example. I don't really use it for a important matter, I pay for my servers so why would I run important stuff off a free VPS?

[RickB]

Updated. Made some mistakes, like wrong VPS number (its VPS 7, not 6!!) and some mistakes with the UBB codes.
