Hands-on benchmark of a DIY H3C R4900 G5 with dual Xeon Gold 5318Y, 384 GB RAM, and mixed SSD + NVMe array. Covers Yabs/FIO disk performance up to 3.9 GB/s, plus Geekbench 5/6 and UniBench results, with a look at expansion potential and price-performance of this branded server platform.

Hands-on benchmark of Ikoula’s French i7‑9700K dedicated server: 64 GB RAM, 970 EVO 1 TB NVMe SSD, 1 Gbps port. Yabs disk results up to 2.3 GB/s with near line-rate bandwidth to Europe. Includes comments on the Chinese control panel, 20-per-month reinstall cap, overall value at €25/month, and PT potential.

Hands-on benchmark of WebNX’s 10G AMD 9950X dedicated server: datacenter locations and 100% SLA terms, self-service OS install, full hardware breakdown, and detailed CPU, disk, and network benchmarks. Compares pricing, thermals, and stability against Fiberstate’s shared 9950X nodes, with practical guidance for oneman hosts and small providers to choose safely and avoid thermal pitfalls.

A hands-on benchmark of a Hetzner Germany dedicated server with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and 160 TB storage. Covers full hardware configuration, system inspection, detailed CPU characteristics, YABS disk and network benchmarks, plus Geekbench 5/6 results to help guide your capacity planning and deployment decisions.

This post benchmarks a RedSwitches 10G bare‑metal server in the Netherlands with AMD EPYC 4344P, 64GB DDR5, and dual 1TB NVMe for $199/month. It delivers strong CPU and disk performance in Geekbench, UnixBench, PassMark, and fio tests, but the real‑world bandwidth falls short of the advertised 10G. Includes Looking Glass, detailed CPU data, network measurements, IP quality checks, and buying advice context.

Hands-on benchmark of Fiberstate’s Los Angeles 10G Ryzen 9 9950X server. The Supermicro H13SRD-F + AS-3015MR-H8TNR combo suffers from inadequate cooling, causing high temperatures and downclocking, and the provider refuses alternative cooling, so I eventually requested a refund. Also clarifies that the Samsung 990 EVO Plus being detected as PCIe 5.0 x2 is expected behavior.

This article presents one of the first benchmarks of Tencent Cloud’s latest Standard SA9 instance powered by AMD EPYC Turin‑Dense, DDR5 memory, and a 67.5M PPS network. It validates the performance of a 16 vCPU / 32 GB / 300 GB configuration against expectations, and analyzes network throughput, hyper‑threading options, and CPU characteristics for production migration readiness.

This post benchmarks Hostbrr’s 2nd‑anniversary AMD EPYC 9655 plans, covering pricing, 20 TB block storage, and 10 Gbps bandwidth. It focuses on the EPIC 4 vCore/16 GB/160 GB NVMe plan, tests AVX‑512 performance, compares it to ComputeBox, and provides practical buying advice based on CPU, disk, network, and routing results.

This post walks you through deploying MoviePilot v2 with Docker, highlighting key configuration changes from v1 (now UI‑driven), listing compatible download clients and media servers, and providing a minimal docker-compose example. It also covers nginx reverse proxy, advanced env tuning, theming, rules, and wordlists so you can quickly build a fully automated viewing setup.

This post benchmarks the new German provider ComputeBox: a 3 vCPU / 6 GB RAM VPS with AMD EPYC 9655, 50 GB NVMe, and 2 TB traffic on 10 Gbps for only €4.45/month. Backed by a Tier 3, ISO 27001-certified, green-powered datacenter and a custom control panel with instant provisioning. Includes detailed CPU, disk, and network benchmarks plus account signup tips and overselling caveats.

Hands-on benchmark of Leaseweb’s Intel E-2388G server: Rocket Lake-based with strong single-core performance and integrated graphics. Covers configuration, lscpu output, bandwidth and connectivity, plus real-world benchmarks (YABS, Geekbench 5/6, PerformanceTest, Fusion benchmark). Also touches on how to obtain it via direct purchase or reseller and why it suits PT seeding and high-frequency workloads.
