VPS Instance Provisioning Time
It took 1 minute from the time the order took place to the time this instance was ready to accept connections.
Test Results
- Web Runs: performance of a web application running on the server with locally generated load. Latencies and max request rate.
- Sysbench: CPU, disk IO and memory speed tests.
- Endurance: output over time of a long running cpu intensive application.
- Network Transfers: maximum HTTP download and upload speeds between the VPS and servers located nearby.
- Yabs: test suite that includes Geekbench CPU tests, Fio for disk IO and Iperf3 for network transfers.
Web Runs
During the Web Run tests, a web application is loaded with locally generated HTTP requests at various rates. We measure latencies and rate of errors at each load level.
