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

Remove your ip.

Edit: i fixed it for you.

I am actually curious what you use your VPS for, since you tell you can only (fully) use it with an GPU.

Also, there are some font tags in the code box and under the Disk Space.

ah, thats cause I want to run a ingame server on it and I cannot actually control the server until I go ingame and set the spawn points etc., my last GPU corrupted itself for some reason and my integrated one cannot handle the game ( Minecraft ) so that's why :p

P.S Thanks for telling me about the tag will fix it asap

This VPS looks nice, it has good specs. Nice tutorial too.

Add a notice that the disk I/O speeds are kinda fake.

Notice /dev/ploop?

I'd prefer if they don't use ploop since that would show real I/O speed.

Ah, ye I knew abt it and I had it in the thread already :p

Can you provide ping test too?? From Bangladesh, Pakistan??

ah sure, which city from Bangladesh? I'm gonna test It with Dhaka as of now

EDIT : Okay, so I tested it on my home, I got a ping of about average 337 ms at about 4 mbps connection, also notice the vps is about 12800KM away from my country ( even more distance city wise ) so it's not a bad ping at all!

This is not a good way of measuring ping in my opinion. You don't know how your ISP routes you to your VPS. Maybe it's straight forward, maybe it makes a "relative" detour. As far as I could track my connection down to Buffalo at ColoCrossing, mine is pretty straight forward. (Although Liberty Global uses to route a lot of traffic through Austria I am the lucky one to be on the different non-Liberty AS-network :-) ) which results in a neat ping result of about 200ms.
