FanaticalVPS Review

OneTwo

What a great company! Servers with Hetzner. Low lag, great speed and uptime, Nick (the owner) is friendly and helpful. My main vps server, running all my websites. Give them some love: FanaticalVPS

Only becomes a LEB if you include their 30% discount code "TWOYEAR" on their lowest package. Still, looks pretty decent .

Got any benchmarks and the standard cachefly and i/o tests ?

i have a vps with fanatical. right now it's hosting a teamspeak3 server and a match server. in addition, it's hosting nginx serving a mirror for the latest urban terror. works as advertised.

A Core i7
The coolest thing ever.

OMFG! You play?

I host a server in Fanatical xD What a coincidence

@yomero Wow, that's pretty amazing price-wise.. $6 per quarter :O? Is it fast?

Not the best I/O
Maybe 30-50MB/s
But what I need is an stable processor, good uptime and good latency, all these are perfect.

Fair enough . What's their 1Gbps network like? Any idea how fast it'll actually download stuff?

Ahm, no, the speed isn't the best. I don't need it anyway

But I don't care, again, what I need is an stable network

$ ping 4.2.2.1 -n
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 14.821/15.253/17.104/0.712 ms
$ ping 8.8.8.8 -n
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 5.840/6.365/6.580/0.211 ms

Oh, and

$ ./ioping .
min/avg/max/mdev = 0.1/85.7/619.2/182.8 ms

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync count=16k bs=64k; rm test

It has 0-15ms pings, with big spikes at times.

Fair enough . I assume it'd be very good for hosting game servers and such then?

yomero

For me has been wonderful.
Despite recently I had some issues related to DDoS and abuse complains (related to my game) and I got suspended.. But all has been managed properly.
