Sup guys? How are you today?
I'm going to have a review (again) for my second VPS I got from Post4VPS.
A VPS 8 from @cubedata!
I did review my first VPS, VPS 10, you can take a look on that here.
I'll use review template from my first review thread.
Let's go!
VPS specs:
Then, the mainstream part, benchmark: (Thanks to @"Hidden Refuge" for your benchmark script).
It's really good isn't it? Haha!
Seems the Swap doesn't show correctly, let me use "free -m" instead,
(Ubuntu also use 4GB for swap).
@Dynamo, want to edit your VPS comparison table eh?
Another mainstream part, the speedtest~
Why does the speed so low eh? Hahahah. Maybe Kansas Research and Education Network's server doesn't have really good speed.
The last thing to show you is, disk usage,
My VPS usage:
My main usage is for website, of course. I also use this as a broadcaster from a website to a Discord server. And, I host a Discord bot also. Compared to Heroku, with VPS 8, I can get more faster data with my bot.
Then I also use my VPS as a second desktop, because I can connect to the VNC. Let me show you,

My experience:
From paid to another free VPS, I really like this one.
It's really stable, I never get any downtime, it's uptime is good. (51 days uptime until now, really stable.)
I can reach my VPS from Indonesia with speed from about 300 up to 400 KBps! That's really nice.
@cubedata's control panel is SolusVM, pretty easy to use, I really like it tho. We can choose OS from Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, or even Windows Server! (Both Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2016).
The one problem that appear from SolusVM is, I can't set my reserve DNS, it always shows error.
But I believe, @cubedata can solve this problem. No need to worry.
Then, they also give me VNC. As I have the screenshot I linked before. Sometimes I use the VNC as my second desktop, so if I need to do something that will take so much time, I just can use VNC then disconnect, then if I want to check the progress, I can open it again.
It's Xen HVM, a full virtualization, now I can know how to install Ubuntu or Debian from GUI, not only from panel that panel take cares all of them, but I can customize what I want to customize. And ofter, the server offer a GUI, like Debian with their Desktop environment, or with Ubuntu we can install GNOME. That's really easy to help me work with it.
Soon I'll install CentOS on this machine, I'll give you all a screenshot how VNC works on OS installation :p.
Ah I forgot something, it has a VNC, then yes, sometimes I move a big data from slow server into another fast hosting server like Google Drive with this VPS. I can make my life easier with this!
That's all from me!
Thanks to @cubedata and Post4VPS for this VPS 8, such a great VPS to have one.
