Introducion

Hello, I'm reviewing this VPS as required. Firstly, I would like to thank Post4VPS staff and VPS-Hosting.CA for providing this VPS to me. The main reason I added this VPS number to my request is because I wanted a KVM VPS. I was planning to host my personal website if I got a OpenVZ vm, but since I got this KVM VPS, I've changed my plans to use it for something else.

Specifications

Disk Space: 20 GB HDD.

RAM: 1 GB, 512mb vSwap (assigned by me, cause it isn't really needed)

Virtualization: KVM.

Monthly Traffic: unlimited.

Server Location: Ontario, Canada.

Control Panel: Unfortunately it has no control panel.

Connection: 100 Mbps (though it seems to be lil bit faster)

Yeah, specifications is enough for my needs. Though it would be better if it had a control panel, anyways that isn't really an issue.

Benchmarking

Benchmark by Hidden Refuge's benchmarking script:

IO is kinda low innit? I suppose it should be higher since this slows down the VPS. Don't think the internet speed is low, it's good for a 100mbps connection and a Canada located server. I don't need a higher internet speed anyways.

More IO speed tests:

Code:
jayce@vm3:~/bench$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync

16384+0 records in

16384+0 records out

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 30.9533 s, 34.7 MB/s

jayce@vm3:~/bench$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync

16384+0 records in

16384+0 records out

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.4673 s, 50.0 MB/s

jayce@vm3:~/bench$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync

16384+0 records in

16384+0 records out

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 23.468 s, 45.8 MB/s

I can't say really much because this is a free service so I guess paid customers gets the higher IO priority, however, another internet speed test:

jayce@vm3:~/bench$

Looks like the connection is faster than 100mbps, not sure why it's specified as 100mbps in the specifications thread.

My Opinion

This is a good KVM machine for personal hobbies/projects, I like it and I don't think I'll replace it in near future, however if the IO speed could be better, then it's going to be perfect. I would really rate it 8/10, but that's just my personal opinion which might change from a person to another. I guess we've came to an end, ladies and gentlemen.

Thanks for viewing.

I would like to know your suggestions and feedback about this SSH Server.
Is it possible to make or create our VPS with same like this one? https://www.fastssh.com/
If yes do you have any guides or tutorials that I can read and test?

PS. Admins and Mods please remove or move my topic if I posted in wrong section or this kind of topic is not allowed.

Vuluts

Is it possible to add a Like Button on every post same as on Facebook? I think this maybe or not a cool idea but Instead of posting "Thank you" why not giving a post a Like?

Vuluts

Any Mobile Legends: Bang Bang players here?

What is Mobile Legends: Bang Bang?

It's a 5 vs 5 MOBA game, mostly same with League of Legends but this one is for mobile. It's actually very addicting game and I'm sure for those who don't know this game yet, maybe you might want to try it and play with me or us.

Post up your in-game name so we can play together.

My In-game Name: I Ain't Noob

Comment down below your In-game Name so I or we can add you.

Do you know of any software which can play with audio bit rate ? Like, converting 320Kbps audio to 128Kbps without compromising the quality. I can pay for it, if required.

I recently read news about Amazon using Drones to deliver products. It sends a chill down my spine when I think about something happens to the package connection to drone and the packets drops down on a passerby. Does authorities think of it ?

Is Augmented Reality games the thing of the future ? Are we going to merge the real world into our device screen ? The idea is pretty great. You get into real world, at least partially.

Pokemon has been an instant hit. I wonder why such games have not popped up yet. Like, treasure hunting games.

How does a game server works ? Do we have to install game on the server and allow access to other users ? Or, do you host it locally and allow others to access your PC ?

What improvements do you expect in UX for 2017 ? With touch optimized devices, there is not much you can do to simplify that nested menu items. Could be bigger buttons for small screens, thumb sized icons etc
