This post benchmarks the Crunchbits $17 AMD Ryzen 9 7950X VDS with 2 dedicated threads, 4GB DDR5, Gen4 NVMe + RAID-10 HDD, and [email protected]. It shows up to 11GB/s disk throughput and 2.6Gbps upstream, with detailed YABS, UnixBench, PerformanceTest, Bench/Benchy, Speedtest, and fusion benchmark results, plus a lifetime 17% off coupon.

Benchmark of Tencent Cloud’s Hong Kong internal beta plan: 2C2G, 40G SSD, 512GB traffic at 20Mbps. CPU and memory are decent, disk IO is acceptable. Streaming unlocks YouTube and Disney+ with Netflix limited to Originals. Suitable for lightweight websites and small-traffic applications with Hong Kong routing to major Chinese ISPs.

Hands-on benchmark of the AkileCloud Japan BGP node: KVM on single-core AMD EPYC, peak disk IO up to 3.8 GB/s, BBR congestion control, and full-cone NAT. IPv4 fully unlocks Netflix/Disney+/YouTube Japan, while IPv6 behaves abnormally. Includes detailed CPU, memory, disk, routing, speedtest, and streaming unlock data.

This benchmark covers server-factory’s Sweden IPv6-only KVM plan: 1 vCPU (25% cap), 2 GB RAM, /64 IPv6 subnet and 100 GiB traffic per 24 hours. YABS, PassMark, UnixBench, LemonBench and benchy all show strong disk and network performance with close to 1 Gbps IPv6 throughput across Europe. No native IPv4 is included. Full fusion-script output is provided.

Hands-on benchmark of OVH’s special 8 TB NVMe VPS: 16 vCores, 128 GB ECC RAM, 50 Gbit/s unmetered bandwidth. Includes lscpu output, YABS scores, fio 4k/64k results, iperf3, Geekbench, UnixBench and PassMark PerformanceTest Linux to assess suitability for high I/O and large-capacity storage workloads.

This post walks through deploying Prometheus, Node Exporter, Grafana, and cAdvisor with Docker. It includes a ready‑to‑use docker-compose setup, a sample prometheus.yml configuration, and an overview of how Prometheus and Node Exporter work together. You’ll also see how to wire Grafana to Prometheus and quickly visualize metrics using community dashboards.

This tutorial walks you through setting up a BT downloader traffic dashboard on your server using Grafana and Prometheus. It supports qBittorrent, Deluge, and Transmission, and covers config preparation, Docker-based deployment of downloader-exporter, connectivity checks, and creating a Grafana panel with the proper data source.

Hands-on benchmark of Hybula’s Netherlands AMD EPYC Milan VPS: 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM / 50 GB enterprise U.2 NVMe, 1 Gbps uplink and Advanced DDoS Shield. Covers promo options (10 TB traffic or 7-day backups), looking glass, and comprehensive benchmarks for hardware, CPU, disk I/O, network, streaming unlock, and routing performance.

This post benchmarks an Aeza Sweden VPS with a single-core Ryzen 5 3600, KVM virtualization and BBR enabled. It details CPU, memory bandwidth and disk I/O, with fio and YABS results reaching close to 1 GB/s reads. Streaming tests cover YouTube, Netflix (originals only on IPv4, full unlock on IPv6) and Disney+ Sweden, plus extensive IP reputation, routing and network throughput data.

Hands-on benchmark of CloudSigma’s Japan VPS: extensive streaming unlocks for Netflix, Disney+, TVer and more, with solid Japan-region CDN performance. Details include single-core Xeon CPU scores, memory read/write throughput, disk IO benchmarks (dd and fio), KVM virtualization, and IPv4 geolocation in Tokyo—suited for media streaming and lightweight applications.

Hands-on benchmarks of GCP VMs in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. This post covers CPU, memory, and disk IO scores, NAT types, routing back to mainland China carriers, and real-world network performance. It also checks streaming unlock status for YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, TikTok, and more, plus IP reputation and fraud scores for each region.
