Hi,

Jordy from CraftYourBox recently gave me some login details for a 128MB VM plan that the company offers, thanks for the VM and I've done a quick review on it.

92.8MB/s Average

Overall experience so far.

At the moment, I've only used this for about half an hour, it's running quite smooth, doesnt seem too much load on the node; alright speeds considering they're on the west coast and I'm in the UK, (170ms).
Looks like a 100Mbit port, however I've been told that it's a 1Gbit port for the node.
Jordy has told me there's a upcoming deal on LEB shortly, hopefully something nice, cheap and effective.

My only gripe is that it's on a RAID 1 with two disks, resulting in reduced IO speed; however still perfectly acceptable for site hosting or even some Game Services.

And ofcourse that it's using the older series Xeon 3440. I'd much prefer to see an E5 series or even E3. Either way; it's an alright performer and I'd reccomend it moreso on the enthusiasm of Jordy.

Thanks,
Chris.
