Private Trials

Evaluate your own servers with Private Trials.

The same benchmarks that run on all VPS at vpsbenchmarks.com will run on your own servers. The results are private and are saved in your account to let you compare them to your other private trials or to any public trial at any time.

Easy to run

Simply enter the SSH connection information to your Ubuntu 20.04 or 18.04 instance, push the "Setup" button and then the "Benchmark" button. You're done, the results will be ready for you to review when the tests complete.

Your information is safe: only you can see the results of your trial and we delete the SSH connection information from our database after the private trial completes.

Keep track of all your trials

The results of all your Private Trials stay in your account for as long as you wish. You can review them at any time. You can share private links to your trials with your friends or colleagues. Finally, you can delete your private trials when they're no longer relevant.

Cloud Providers: optimize your servers

If you're a cloud provider, the faster your servers are, the most you will get of your Featured Provider subscription and the happier your customers will be. Test your servers first with a Private Trial. Tests and grades or private trials are the same as those of public trials that are part of your subscription.

Run a private trial once, tune your infrastructure and repeat until the trial performance is up to your expectations.

Compare the results of all your Private Trials

Once you have run several trials, you can compare their results either in the Screener or in the various test specific comparison pages (Compare Web Runs, Compare Sysbench, ...).

Private trial results can also be compared to any servers from a cloud provider tested publicly at VPSBenchmarks.

Regular and Modular Private Trials

After a private trial setup completes, you can choose between a "Regular Private Trial" or a "Modular Private Trial".

Regular Private Trial: It's the same as a public trial, the 4 usual tests run in sequence and the trial receives grades when all 4 tests have completed. It's ideal to verify that the VPS you just bought performs as expected.

Modular Private Trial: This type of private trial is for expert users who want to choose which tests to run and repeat those tests as many times as needed. Modular Private Trials don't receive grades but each test result can be compared to other test results of the same type. If you're a provider, this is the best solution to tune your systems incrementally and get the best performance out of them.

Prices

To run a private trial, you need private trial credits, which you can buy here.
Regular Private Trial cost: 1 credit.
Modular Private Trial cost: 0.25 credit per test with a minimum of 1 credit for the entire trial.

The first private trial for a new account is just $2. Subsequent single private trials are $10 each.

Featured providers get a 20% rebate on the prices above.
