Atomic Networks Los Angeles 7900 VPS Benchmark
2023-09-04
This post benchmarks the Atomic Networks Los Angeles 7900 VPS, which appears to be a downstream of ReliableSite. The specs are basic at 1 vCPU and 1GB RAM. Disk performance looks strong in YABS and fio, but intercontinental network throughput is low and unstable, with only local LA performance being acceptable. Overall network experience is poor, and this write‑up serves as a warning to avoid this VPS for latency‑sensitive or global workloads.
