Looking for Speedtest Benchmark Script & NetCup review

Mahfuz_SS_EHLMahfuz_SS_EHL Host Rep, Veteran

Hello,

I was looking for a script just for Speedtest purpose. I found https://bench.monster/ but whatever argument I use there, it runs a GeekBench Test which I don't need.

And, along with it, anyone using NetCup Root Servers ?? How's their Disk I/O & Network Speed ?? I have see they advertise 2.5 Gbps Network Card, does it work in real ?

Thanks.

    yabs.sh has options to disable features you don't need and is probably easier/nicer formatted then running Iperf3 yourself.

    For example, the following line will execute just the Iperf3 network performance test:

    curl -sL yabs.sh | bash -s -- -dg

    Dirty cut up version of bench.monster only for bandwidth test :

    curl -sL files.servedez.com/bench.sh | bash -s

    You can use all the locations flags.

    I've been using Netcup VPSs (Root servers and regular vServers/VPS) and they both perform as advertised. Disk and network is usually excellent and if there's anything to complain about (for me) it is the CPU performance (they aren't the fastest on the block!). Root servers have dedicated vCores (without nested virtualization and some other CPU flags) and they are very consistent performance wise (though not the fastest clock speed wise like the newer Ryzens). I don't have their latest G9 version (AMD + 2.5Gbit) but it is solid reliable consistent performance at very good pricing.

    I really have nothing but positive things to say about my Netcup experience (though I'm in the process of consolidating some of my VPSs with them onto a dedi as it is more cost effective esp. with virtualization options).

    The main caveat with them is their very strict non-negotiable cancellation policy that you are well advised to be aware of before signing up (esp. on the longer term contracts which provide a good discount as well).

    In case you are interested, I had a post on some VPSs that I'm letting go soon.

    Yabs; @MasonR is using our 10G Speedtest servers there so you have a chance to V-Max your VM ;-)

    My Netcup root server maxes out the 2.5gb on both usenet and torrents, without issue.

    @Mahfuz_SS_EHL said: What is the problem with their cancellation policy ?

    They typically need 30/31 days advance notice for cancellation on their contracts. So you can't just cancel a day before your invoice is due.

    If you have a monthly contract, you effectively end up cancelling a month in advance - so for e.g.. your renewal is on the 15th, you have to give notice on the previous month before 14th to cancel. So you have a VPS, and you don't want it after Nov 15th - you have to cancel before Oct 14th.

    Not something very typical or how things work at most places.

    Very typical for German hosts, no issue here, very clearly stated in their tos

    I copied the exact script but again same error. Probably, my vm issue but that shouldn't be the case, I don't know what's the issue.

  • seriesnseriesn Member

    Try downloading the file and runing the script as it is.

    I simply did a trim down of the main script to quickly bench multiple locations.

    No, that's just it. One or two busy endpoints aren't unusual, but all busy seems rather unlikely.
