This post benchmarks Avoro’s German AMD EPYC 7513 ROOTSERVER S instance (4C/8G/160G NVMe, unmetered 10 Gbps). CPU is lottery-based among 7452/7513/7763, contract-free with one backup included and tax-free ordering. Multi-core performance clearly beats similarly priced Liteserver plans, with strong disk I/O, network throughput, and streaming unlock capabilities.

Hands-on benchmark of Aeza’s Hong Kong AMD 7950X3D plan: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe, unmetered 10 Gbps, and 25% off for the first month. Includes lscpu output, multiple performance benchmarks, network latency, and streaming unlock tests. Russian provider without Alipay support; cryptocurrency payment recommended. Evaluates value for money and suitable use cases.

Hetzner’s auction servers are an incredible deal: for under €60 you can grab a top-spec Ryzen 9 5950X dedicated box. This guide walks through choosing RAID, entering Rescue mode, using installimage for fast OS deployment, plus common pitfalls and billing gotchas so you can enjoy high-end compute on the cheap.

Hands-on benchmark of Hetzner’s Helsinki dedicated server powered by AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. Covers full hardware specs, lscpu output, virtualization and cache characteristics, plus a wide range of CPU, disk, memory, and network performance benchmarks to help evaluate real-world use cases and deployment suitability.

Hands-on benchmark of Aeza’s Moscow Intel i9-14900K plan (2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM / 60 GB NVMe, 10 Gbps, €17.4/month). Using lscpu, Yabs, UnixBench, Geekbench 5/6, PassMark, and a mixed “fusion” script, it presents CPU characteristics, cache, disk and network throughput, plus media unlock and routing data to assess price–performance and suitable workloads.

This post walks you through deploying the open‑source subscription manager Wallos with Docker in one go. You’ll learn how to set up persistent volumes, expose the service via port or reverse proxy, and complete the initial configuration so you can easily track streaming services, VPS bills, and other recurring expenses in one place.

Locked out of Oracle Cloud because you lost your two-step verification and bypass codes? This post shares a workaround still working as of February 2024: use support.oracle.com to submit a non-technical SR, have support reset your MFA, then reconfigure two-step verification. Includes tips for handling registration and verification emails, plus updated notes vs older, now-invalid methods.

This post benchmarks a Vebble Singapore AMD instance (AMD EPYC Milan, 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 120GB disk, KVM). Disk performance peaks around 2.5 GB/s, and overseas bandwidth reaches close to 1 Gbps. China Unicom connectivity is poor and the free-month promotion leads to a mediocre real-world experience, though the provider’s custom panel looks much nicer than generic WHMCS setups.

Hands-on benchmark of Upstream’s UK AMD EPYC 73F3 VPS with a free one‑year plan. Covers plan specs, Yabs and “all‑in‑one” script benchmarks, CPU, memory, NVMe disk performance, IPv4/IPv6 networking, streaming unlocks and routing/latency results, to see whether this tiny VPS is worth picking up for fun.

Sharon dropped a JP Lite “toy chicken” VPS on Chinese New Year’s Eve: $1/month for 1 vCPU, 1 GB DDR5 RAM, 20 GB SSD and 1 TB @ 1 Gbps on a VirtFusion panel. It’s expected to be wiped in about a month, routes are still being tuned, and HK/JP/SG have private networking. Includes Fusion Monster script benchmarks, streaming unlock tests and China backhaul traces—don’t overpay scalpers.

This post walks you through deploying a private DeepLX translation API with a single Docker command. It compares DeepL with traditional translators and LLM-based translation, explains how to bypass official limits, and shows how to benchmark speed and concurrency. You’ll also learn how to test the API and integrate it into the Immersive Translate browser extension for automatic page and Twitter translation.

Benchmark of the Oplink US AMD 7950X Premium VPS: 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB NVMe, 32 TB @ 10 Gbps for $29.95 plus setup. The provider uses a setup fee to filter customers, waived during Black Friday, with a 3‑day full refund policy. Tests show extremely strong disk performance and generally high‑quality neighbors, but only average network performance overall.
