This post benchmarks HXServers’ budget “7950X” VPS in Los Angeles (a ReliableSite reseller). Despite the aggressive $1.5/1GB pricing and fast NVMe and network, the CPU reports as EPYC-Milan under KVM, lacks IPv6, shows suspiciously low single-core scores around 1900, and appears oversold. Overall performance and technical support issues make it a risky choice if you care about compute performance or stability.

Hands-on benchmark of Advin Servers’ AMD EPYC 7B13 plan (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe, 10 Gbps port) hosted in Nuremberg. NVMe throughput peaks near 8 GB/s with solid CPU and memory scores across YABS, Benchy, UnixBench, and PassMark. Also highlights that the so‑called “unlimited bandwidth” is constrained by a fair use policy at around 100 TB/month outbound traffic.

Hands-on benchmark of Aeza’s Frankfurt IC9-2 VPS: 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM / 60 GB NVMe, unmetered 1 Gbps, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6. CPU Mark reaches 5788 with up to 5.8 GB/s NVMe throughput. This post walks through Yabs, Bench.sh, Fusion Monster script, and PerformanceTest Linux data, then discusses performance characteristics, network quality, and suitable use cases at 120 RMB/month.

This article walks through key terminology and the end‑to‑end execution flow of GPU workloads, then explains PCIe pass‑through and why it is not true virtualization. It compares vCUDA and cGPU approaches for Kubernetes, introduces several open source and commercial GPU virtualization and pooling solutions, and summarizes how different vendors isolate, share, and schedule GPU compute and memory.

A step-by-step guide to building a Kubernetes cluster on Debian 12 with kubeadm: from system preparation, disabling swap, installing the official Docker and cri-dockerd, to setting up control plane and worker nodes. Includes Calico networking, key kubeadm commands, and troubleshooting common socket and node readiness issues.

This article dissects how the Virtio-Balloon driver works and how its memory reclamation mechanism operates in KVM environments. It walks through libvirt/qemu configuration, Linux driver callbacks, and key functions, then explains practical ways to disable Virtio-Balloon on a VPS and prevent it from auto-loading at boot to improve VM stability.

Hands-on benchmark of AlphaVPS 2G-Ryzen in Los Angeles: 2 vCPU Ryzen 7700X, 2GB DDR5 RAM, 30GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe and 2TB traffic at 10Gbps. Includes lscpu output, disk and memory info, YABS, Bench/Benchy, UnixBench, PassMark PerformanceTest Linux and multiple global network speed tests—solid choice for small websites.

This post benchmarks CrownCloud’s Frankfurt KVM Ryzen 9 7950X SSD plan: 2 vCPU, 2 GB DDR5 RAM, 60 GB NVMe, 10 Gbps port. Includes lscpu, memory and disk info, plus YABS, Bench, Benchy, byte-unixbench, PerformanceTest Linux and multiple Speedtest runs, analyzing raw performance and value at $17/month for websites and lightweight applications.

Benchmark of Dubai-based provider Layer’s 10 Gbps Spokane, WA AMD 7950X VPS plan: 1 vCPU / 2 GB DDR5 / 50 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe / 3 TB traffic, with 5 backup slots and DDoS protection. Geekbench 6 single-core scores near 3000. YABS, Benchy, UnixBench and PassMark show outstanding disk throughput and strong global network performance, plus full Netflix unlock (AE region).

Hands-on benchmark of Scaleway’s Warsaw, Poland instances using the Fusion Monster script: detailed CPU, memory, and disk I/O results, plus a comparison of IPv4 vs IPv6 behavior on YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+ (unlock status and regions). Includes routing, latency, IP reputation, and usage recommendations based on value for money.

Step-by-step guide to deploying applications on Kubernetes, from using `kubectl run` to managing Pod and Deployment YAML. Learn how labels connect Deployments and Pods, how to scale replicas, forward ports, and roll back versions. Includes a concise cheatsheet of common `kubectl` commands for querying resources, inspecting logs, and troubleshooting in real clusters.
