Introduction

 Hey, I'm Honey and today I'm going to review my VPS 9 after almost a full month of heavy usage! I got this VPS from the last month's giveaway and It has been a really great time working on it, though I'm still not fully able to utilize it as I'm waiting for my GPU to arrive ( next week hopefully ).The only issue I faced was that there is no available control panel for the users, so you must ask the admins for any OS reinstallation / help.

So, as you just saw the VPS has some great speeds + specs and I love that but there are some downsides along with it too, such as, It doesn't have a control panel ( yet ) secondly the internet speeds are not fully stable, It can be much higher than what I have shown in the review at times but that's understandable as I do not have dedicated internet line with it.
So far, It has not failed to amaze me at each point considering that It is free after all, don't really know what to suggest on this VPS cuz It's pretty great already :p

Final Ratings : 9.5/10
