SLICE 2048 performance from BuyVM

ckissi

Anybody can share SLICE 2048 performance from his VPS (any VPS benchmark script)?

I'm wondering about CPUs they use (E3, E5) and disk io speed tests.

Hello!

We use E3 1270v3's or 1241v3's. Might be a couple v1's in there from the very first few nodes we built, but if that's a problem I can shuffle you around.

Hxxx

I might have to launch a business on this. LET people only has VPS'es to ... benchmark . LOL. Including myself in the bunch of just idling.

I had to screw around with networking configs a bit to get everything working perfectly when I first set it up and you do need to be sure to select optimal VM options for networking/CPU/etc in Stallion but after that it's been pretty smooth sailing. Uptime is 7 days because I rebooted it recently after realizing that I was mistaken about kernel patches being a rebootless upgrade (took me a while to figure that out, lol), but at that point it had well over 200 days of uptime so stability has been excellent as well.

Disk IO is typically much faster than this BTW. And networking performance is consistently quite good as long as I'm connecting to a non-filtered IP (or just operating on the server). Filtered IPs can be slowish under some circumstances, especially if it's set to the always on mode instead of sensing mode, but that's a tradeoff to make. Value-wise, pricing for the slices in general is an absolute steal. I don't know if you've used BuyVM before but they are a really great company, I've been renting servers from them since 2011 and am extremely satisfied with their services.

There aren't really any significant downsides that I can think of... I suppose the amount of storage space can feel a bit small in some specific cases - however as it's SSD storage (and good SSDs at that), the amount of space you get is already quite reasonable for the price paid. I've thought about stepping up a tier to get more storage space and another core (don't personally need the other benefits), but I don't really need the storage space and extra core badly enough to spend another $15/mo, especially since I'm already paying for several extra IPs (both DDoS protected and regular).

Tl;Dr: Just buy it already, the KVM slices are snappy and the company is great, you definitely won't regret it.

I have two 1 gig slices in nyc. 1 is a rdp box and the other im using as a ddos protected gre tunnel to my streaming website. The connectivty is great especially to my dedicated server in toronto.
