Review - Provision Host
Hi,
Going on from the format of @maxexcloo and also @HalfEatenPie... I picked up one of the Free test VPS's from Provision Host to do some benchmarking on.
I picked up one of the test VPS's with the following specs: 256MB RAM, 10GB Disk Space, 250GB Bandwidth and CentOS. The best IO test out of the number I did was this one:
[root@letest ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && unlink test 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 7.69293 seconds, 140 MB/s
**Location: **The server is located in Dallas, and I am on node 3.
Support: I only gave Brandon the DD test like he asked - and he responded in a few minutes, but he was online at the time
Here is the ps aux output of a clean install:

Cool.
Nice! And I gotta hand it to @maxexcloo for making a pretty professional first couple of review and letting the format stick.
Just in case you're curious, you can use the </pre/> tags instead of quotes.
Updated. Found out on IRC
Thanks though.

Thanks for the review Dominic. For those that are interested our new Dallas nodes use hardware RAID10, SAS drives and the new E5 procs.
This node is actually at full capacity to show how a server in a production environment would perform. We don't want to skew the results by placing a client on an empty server.
