VPS host speed

Virmach is a VPS hosting provider from the United States. Currently, it mainly takes the low-price route and provides VPS hosting for US$1 a month. The price/performance ratio is very high, but the stability still needs to be observed. In addition, Virmach should be seriously overbooked, the stability of the server remains to be seen, and there will be some network lag at night. Virmach currently offers the cheapest OpenVZ VPS host for $1 a month, with a configuration of 192MB memory, 10GB hard drive, and 250GB monthly traffic.

Baidu Cloud is a product launched by Baidu similar to Alibaba Cloud. It mainly sells VPS hosts, domain names, cloud storage, DNS, CDN, etc. Some people may also mistakenly think that Baidu Cloud is a network disk, because Baidu did call its network disk Baidu Cloud before. Later, it created a Baidu Cloud server and finally turned the network disk into a "network disk" again.

Recently, I wanted to find a VPS host for a mobile computer room because I was building a VPS host server line quality monitoring platform. After searching around Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, etc., I found that there is no simple mobile computer room VPS, all are BGP lines. This should be because everyone buying VPS must want smooth access to all three networks, so pure mobile and China Unicom computer rooms will definitely not be sold.

The server I used for the first time to dig a website was Korea’s Kdatacenter. The speed and response time were very fast. The SSD hard disk read and write speed test could reach more than GB/s. However, there were two problems: First, the price was too expensive at 19 US dollars. One month, it really needs the support of local tyrants; secondly, there is no server control panel! You need to contact customer service to reinstall the system, change IP, etc. The response time is even slower during non-working days.

Last time I shared China Mobile’s Mobile Cloud VPS host. Although Mobile Cloud’s VPS host has no bright spots in terms of performance, if you want a VPS host in a mobile computer room, you can try it because Mobile Cloud uses China Mobile’s own In the computer room, mobile users will have better access.

I have been using the domestic version of Alibaba Cloud's VPS host before, but I have always had reservations about the international version launched by Alibaba Cloud last year. On the one hand, the domestic version of Alibaba Cloud actually also has VPS in computer rooms in Hong Kong, Japan, and the United States. However, after actual use, these VPS still follow the "routine" of the domestic version of VPS - American VPS actually also sells "bandwidth"? It’s really a “long time to see you”! In a previous article, I summarized the five major characteristics of Alibaba Cloud VPS.

The classic VPS host launched the CN2 GIA VPS host, which has been welcomed by many friends. The CN2 GIA VPS host package is often out of stock. After the recent replenishment, many friends asked whether it is possible to build a website with 1GB memory CN2 GIA VPS? Because I used Alibaba Cloud's 1GB memory Hong Kong VPS before, and there was indeed a bottleneck problem in disk IO and memory.

Since its launch last year, its Yunfu host has been using HDD hard drives. However, during actual use, it was found that if the HDD hard drive is not used as a Raid (disk array), the IO read and write speed will be slower, which not only affects the experience of VPS users, but also If the number of users continues to increase, it will still affect the stability of the main server.

SkySilk is a newly established VPS hosting merchant in the United States (the specific establishment time is uncertain, and the merchant’s promotional materials can be traced back to May 2018). When SkySilk was first established, it seemed that it started to pursue the path of low-priced VPS hosting, priced at US$1/ Monthly VPS hosting, and after binding a credit card, you can get a free VPS hosting for one year. However, now you don’t need a credit card. You only need to bind a Paypal account (no payment required) to get a VPS host for free.

Alibaba Cloud's VPS host has always attracted me to use it because of its low price and convenient and practical backend control panel. I had always put wzfou.com on Alibaba Cloud Hong Kong VPS, but during the use, I gradually discovered two things. Problems: First, the IO read and write speed of the VPS host is too slow, causing SWAP to run very slowly after the memory is exhausted. Second, the Alibaba Cloud VPS host will be intermittently inaccessible for users of China Mobile and China Unicom (a small number of users reported on China Telecom).
