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.

ImageFlow is a lightweight, single‑user / private image hosting solution with API key auth, automatic AVIF/WebP conversion, and orientation‑aware delivery. It offers drag‑and‑drop uploads, dark mode, hot reload, and local or S3-compatible storage, and can be deployed instantly via Docker or standalone binaries.

This article benchmarks the total monthly cost of 1 TB storage plus 1 TB egress across major S3‑compatible object storage providers including Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Wasabi, Scaleway, Vultr, Backblaze B2, and Cloudflare R2. It breaks down what’s included, overage pricing, tax/region differences, and highlights cost‑effectiveness and selection trade‑offs to support quick, informed decisions.

This guide walks through deploying Vertex with Docker to build an automated PT environment for following shows and seeding: from one‑line installation, first login and password retrieval to core configuration pointers and practical rule snippets. It also includes suggestions on hardware and auto‑delete parameters, helping you seed aggressively yet safely on limited resources.

Hands-on benchmark of Nube.sh’s San Jose China-optimized route instance based on AMD EPYC 7663, with a 1C/1G configuration and 10G NVMe storage billed purely by outbound traffic. Includes test IP, detailed CPU info, Geekbench 5, Yabs, Speedtest, Fusion Monster Go script, routing and latency results. A practical reference for low-cost relay and lightweight service deployment.

Hands-on benchmark of Evoxt’s Tokyo VPS node powered by AMD EPYC Genoa, NVMe storage, and KVM virtualization. Covers CPU, disk I/O, and global network performance for the 1 vCPU / 2 GB / $5.99 plan with 1 Gbps / 1 TB bandwidth, plus streaming unlock tests and detailed IP reputation and routing analysis.
