Google Compute Engine
n1-standard-2, Jul 05 2018
We have run a full suite of performance tests on the n1-standard-2 VPS plan of Google Compute Engine.
On this page, you'll find:
- Price and specifications for the n1-standard-2 plan.
- The grades that summarize its performance in 5 categories based on the tests results.
- Links to the detailed test results that can be compared to other providers and other plans.
| Provider | Plan | Cost per month | Disk space (GB) | Memory (GB) | Data transfer (GB) | Virtualization |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Compute Engine | n1-standard-2 | $72.00 | 10 | 7.5 | 100 | KVM |
| Datacenter | CPU type | Num CPU cores | OS | Kernel | Ruby | Rails |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| us-central-1c (Iowa) | Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2.30GHz | 2 | Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS | 4.13.0 | 2.5.1 | 5.1.6 |
Grades
Grades are calculated by combining results from web, sysbench, endurance, network transfers and remote timing tests.
Grade A is best, grade F is worst.
Follow the letter links to find the test results backing the grade.
Test Results
- Sysbench tests are run once at the end of each trial. They push the VPS to its limit but for a few minutes only.
- Remote timings are collected continuously from 4 different continents.
- The Web performance test lasts for the whole duration of the trial (several days) and reports the response time and system metrics of a popular website running a Ruby on Rails application backed by a Postgres database.
- Endurance performance tests push the VPS CPU to its limits for several hours straight and will reveal the raw power of the VPS as well as its stability over time.
- Network Transfers measure download and upload speed between the VPS and servers located nearby.

Sysbench Performance
Remote Timings
Response times for this VPS were continuously measured from 5+ locations in the world. Each measure includes DNS resolution time, connection time, TLS handshake time and server response time.
Review and compare all Remote Timings numbers for the Google Compute Engine - n1-standard-2 VPS plan.
Network Transfers
We have performed large file transfers from the Google Compute Engine - n1-standard-2 VPS, both downloads and uploads and we measured the speed of the transfers.
The transfers involve multiple files, 10 threads and last for at least 10 seconds at maximum speed. The transfers are repeated 3 times from different servers and only the fastest transfer is reported.
