Limitless Hosting  Limitless Hosting - VPS 13 Honest Review
#1
Short Introduction

I got VPS 13 at 61st giveaway in October. This VPS provider is Limitless Hosting (https://limitlesshost.net) that's why I give it a try to grab a VPS from Limitless Hosting. And I got it! I have used the VPS for 4 months and it's going pretty well. This VPS located in Finland, Europe. While using it I never get any kind of really massive lag, all perfectly runs well.

Specifications and Benchmark

Benchmark below is using @sohamb03 script.
Specs
Quote:System Info
-----------
Processor       : AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
CPU Cores       : 2 @ 3593.248 MHz
Memory          : 1987 MiB
Swap            : 1987 MiB
Uptime          : 20 days, 18:37
OS              : Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Arch            : x86_64 (64 Bit)
Kernel          : 5.4.0-60-generic
Hostname        : Censored Tongue

This VPS uses AMD Ryzen processor. I really don't see providers use AMD Ryzen in their VPS. They usually use Intel Xeon instead. This is new and pretty interesting to see how it works.

Internet Speed

Your public IPv4 is hehe Tongue

Location                Provider        Speed
--------                --------        -----
CDN                     Cachefly        108MB/s
Atlanta, GA, US          @sohamb03      14.3MB/s
Dallas, TX, US          Softlayer       5.13MB/s
San Jose, CA, US        Softlayer       5.13MB/s
Washington, DC, US      Leaseweb        4.51MB/s
Sao Paulo, Brazil       Softlayer       4.38MB/s
Singapore               Softlayer       4.68MB/s
Taiwan                  Hinet           2.57MB/s
Tokyo, Japan            Linode          2.05MB/s
Nuremberg, Germany      Hetzner         12.8MB/s
Rotterdam, Netherlands  id3.net         10.3MB/s
Haarlem, Netherlands    Leaseweb        10.6MB/s
Milan, Italy            Softlayer       15.9MB/s
Sydney, AU              Future Hosting  228KB/s

Well, I cannot complain about their internet speed. Not so fantastic but enough for me. For the one from Future Hosting, it probably their server instead of this VPS connection. When using this VPS, I, which located near Singapore, can quickly load my website without Cloudflare at ~1 second on the first time visit.

Disk Speed

Quote:Buffered Sequential Write Speed 
-------------------------------
I/O (1st run)   : 604 MB/s
I/O (2nd run)   : 866 MB/s
I/O (3rd run)   : 868 MB/s
Average I/O     : 779.333 MB/s

Disk speed is beyond expectation. I cannot complain this kind of speed. Based on Limitless Hosting's VPS plan, the VPS is equipped with NVME SSD which is the fastest disk drive (AFAIK).

CPU Benchmark

  Single Core : 5490  (EXCELLENT)
   Multi Core : 9567

I'm not a computer geek that know what score is high but since it says excellent then it's excellent Tongue.

IO Speed

 CPU Speed:
    bzip2     : 135 MB/s
   sha256     : 266 MB/s
   md5sum     : 600 MB/s

 RAM Speed:
   Avg. write : 3140.3 MB/s
   Avg. read  : 8021.3 MB/s

 Disk Speed:
   1st run    : 377 MB/s
   2nd run    : 868 MB/s
   3rd run    : 881 MB/s
   -----------------------
   Average    : 708.7 MB/s

RAM speed is very awesome! Disk speed somehow at 1st run it always run "slow" then on 2nd and 3rd run it's in its maximum speed. Probably need to "start the machine" first?

Another Speedtest!

Upload speed is awesome in many location but download speed is a little bit questionable. I prefer faster upload speed than download since it's a server tho. We're serving not consuming data. Therefore will need more speed in upload instead.

My Experience with VPS 13

In short, it's an awesome VPS.

I got this VPS back in October 2020. Four months have passed with more than 80 posts posted to keep this VPS alive. When I decide to get this VPS, my plan is to have a working website and can run my Discord bot. So then I think, "Hmm ..., VPS with 2GB RAM should be enough. This VPS 13 met that requirement and have a control panel."

Turns out, I also need a mail server. Yandex Mail doesn't work as expected that all of my email marked as spam by their system. That's sucks.
I really need a working mail server since my website should send mail to the user daily. Well some sort like a notification if they have miss something.

When I got the VPS, I reinstalled the OS because I want to start from scratch. The panel is intuitive, just like another Virtualizator panel. It's easy to use for a person with SolusVM experience before. The reinstalling phase is also easier but doesn't give so much room for configuration during installation since Virtualizator control all of them, and it's a KVM not a Xen HVM. Not a big deal! I can leave the VPS for another work while it's working on it.

After installation done, I decide to try for VestaCP alternative but all of them are suck (or I am the one that don't understand? HAHA). So then I reinstall the OS again and install Cyberpanel instead. All work very smoothly without error. I haven't reinstall the OS since that time.

Remember about the mail server I talked before? I installed them with help of Cyberpanel. The panel install it without issue when I request the panel to do so. Then I configured my DNS to match the record by Cyberpanel and now it's working.
One thing to done about this mail server is none of the receivers' mail server complain the mail received is a spam (not like Yandex before). AFAIK this only can happen if the sender's server IP address is green and high reputation. It's like from D+7 I got this VPS and the IP is already have high reputation.

What does this high reputation means then?
It means that Limitless Hosting really take care their business carefully and keep their IP address and business clear from hacker or something like that. I highly recommend this company.

What's next?
Limitless Hosting currently only have VPS that is located in the Europe. If they have one in Singapore or Australia, I might pick one and move to them as a paid user instead.

I hope someday Limitless Hosting will cover more location and be bigger than what they're right now. We also know that the owner of Limitless Hosting is the expert in this field (probably that's why it's already have high reputation when I got this VPS).

Conclusion

Well, I think I need to conclude anything here. As you read the review, you already know that the VPS is fast and the provider is fantastic. It's worth it to be paid users of Limitless Hosting. I may be one when they start provide Singapore or Australia location.

If you're interested to grab one, checkout their plan here. You can start now Big Grin
Thanks to Limitless Hosting and Post4VPS for providing me excellent VPS 13!
