Some suggestions
From my Linode (before i'm closing it) :
2nd test :
VPSDeploy – $11.98/3 Month 384MB OpenVZ
edit: second run
I added some more download tests (since cachefly is not the best download test server for every VPS), and made it output the results as it completes each test. It's at http://freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh if you want to try it.
SecureDragon Xen:
KiloServe KVM:
@dmmcintyre3 100MB file x 10? hahaha nice.. :P
dmmcintyre3 maybe some european (nl/de/fr...?) location or so to make download speed test even more informative as even London isn't that close to central europe?
What test files would you recommend? I tried hetzner's test file and I could not get more than 1.5 MB/s from any of my VPSs.
try leaseweb or ovh.
http://mirror.leaseweb.com/
http://proof.ovh.net/files/
Added the 100mb Leaseweb file.
OVH beats leaseweb from my end.
3 of the 4 VPSs I tested from showed leaseweb as faster
it has been added to leb wiki
system uptime has been added.@Asim nice idea about ioping, but i'm afraid it is going to end up way too complicated. @dannix nice neat code, i might swap mine with it
Yeah, I'm just saying from my end. I was basing mine on downloading CentOS from the 2 different mirror's. I get low speeds on these test files.
My netbook (Advent 4211)
:O 2.2MB/s.
LOL that netbook is swapping hard

I didn't see any one post a benchmark from minivps.co.uk. VPS is in France with OVH.

uptime was hitting 45+ days but I ran yum and needed to reboot. Also ran the script on CitynetHost in Egypt, needless to say its still going.
Ha, ha, ha, lol. I used to be their client too and this really made me laugh Thank you for that
we have the same problem. :P

uptime is 30 days, disk i/o is decent?
I/O is cool, but the network SUCKS, as always...
i think the I/O look great because no one can hit 1MB/s ?
i'm just canceling their services 2 months ago. so i can't test it by myself.

@yomero
Yeah the network is horrible, but I'm travelling at the moment. Flagtel is okay in my part of Asia. I am on mobile broadband and have pings under 300ms!
@Mon5t3r
Well, as long as the box is reachable its fine. its there to serve DNS and receive nightly backups

Thanks for the script ideas... i modified the script to evaluate new VPS's network speed while looking for new VPS or dedicated servers for myself and clients. When you have 100s or 1000s of gigabytes of data to migrate having a good speed connection between old and new web hosts is a must as well
I modified it to also install axel download accelerator http://axel.alioth.debian.org/ which i use to download tarballs/packages for my http://centminmod.com project install routines as alternative to wget for multi-connection downloads instead of single connection wget downloads.
Axel will well and truly max out your download speeds depending on number of cpu threads you have.
This is difference between
on same server
menu options (last 2 options are you original bench.sh defaults) while first 2 are customised to the VPS/dedicated server web hosts on my short list for server migrations to.
wget
axel
original speedtest group using wget
As you can see wget might not max out your download speed depending on web host's network connectivity.
Feel free to download my version http://centminmod.com/mytools/speedtest2.sh and modify it etc
whoops think i posted in wrong thread, can't find the original bench.sh thread ??

XenVZ (Maidenhead) (£1,30/m)
And this is from a cloud that cost more than those two. Meh.
