Am I getting what I paid for?
These are the results of my 4GB vps from a highend company
http://gyazo.com/4ad36da947708fedc8a4df449f849b4a
I dont use unixbench, and I have no comparitive.
How does it look? Worth my $50 mo?
Comments
Bad
Nope
Can I have somthing to compair too?
I noticed that it had problems running my vinilla forum xD
Do you want to reveal the company name?
If you want to Geekbench it, you can compare to my £11 VPS at Gandi:
http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/581526
At this point no.
This might have been a provisioning error, ect. No reason to ruin a reputation yet.
Once again, does someone have a good compairson?
@jtodd its unixbench not geekbench.
That's bad even for a single core. I get ~600 on an old AlienVPS.

What version of UnixBench are you using? Download 5.2 if your using 4.x, there seems to be a major difference in the scores given (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=308055&page=136)
Are you using this for number crunching or something?
Its 5.2
And no, I just wanna run a simple armagetron and web server
run geekbench and report back.
Francisco
But you feel the VPS is running fine? What applications are you running on it?
Roger that senior pony
*salutes
Hell, our dollar-ninetynine containers get index scores of about 2900. I'd say you're getting hosed.
Apache and armagetron server, and its NOT running ok
Sorry, didn't mean to sound bossy, just geekbench is much much much faster to bench and hopefully is becoming the new standard

Did you open a support ticket?
If you open support tickets when you need anything and is always being answered, problem fixed and extraordinarily taken care of, then that's 100% quality of, say, 85% of your service.
Then comes the rest of parts like network speed, cpu, i/o and the rest. Which might be getting even 25% of quality.
In this case if you are getting less quality in performance, and 100% quality in management and support, then you should deal with support to get 100% quality and speed up for the other assumed 15% of the service too. While if management and support isn't 90% or 100% good, you won't be able to get back (or get more as needs grows) performance, and imo, in this case only their not worth it.
just my 2 cents
Thats the worst result I have ever seen on one that actually even completes, if you want comparisons have a look at 96mb.com he always posts the results.
@Francisco I was just making a joke
Im not mad
Geekbench stalls on run
Here is a 256mb VPS I sell for $4 to compare to

256mb Xen Plan I sell: http://www.96mb.com/96mb-low-end-vps-review-part-xxi-inception-hosting-revisited/
@2380
Er...Is it ending because you're using a 64bit OS? or it's simply going 'HAHA no.' and not completing?
load a 2nd session and check what top is reporting for usage?
Francisco
Top reports full CPU utilization.
I am using a 32 bit

And that's why
You're using HVM on a very old CPU. Unless you're using a newer AMD (Phenom x6 or newer) or a Nehalem 55xx or newer, HVM performance is garbage on the CPU. We tried HVM on one of our internal nodes for development but it just ran terrible. KVM works pretty decent on older CPU's at least.
Francisco
That looks like the server version of the pentium 4. Old hardware.
Nah, it has 4 cores.
Francisco
2x Hyperthreaded P4-based Xeon's?
"family 15 model 4 stepping 3" pulls up a lot of stuff about the P4 on google
