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?

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

Use terminal instead of code bbcode. Terminal seems attractive like instead of
