Hands-on benchmark of Evoxt’s new Poland location: AMD EPYC-Genoa 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 30 GB NVMe, 1 Gbps with 2 TB traffic for $11.99/month. Includes full Yabs, Bench, UnixBench and speed tests, with up to 2.8 GB/s disk throughput and near-line-rate bandwidth across Europe—solid value for cost-conscious deployments.

Hands-on benchmark of Nube Cloud’s second US node (AMD 7663, a3s.4c8g, 10 Gbps port) with Cogent upstream and direct China Telecom/Unicom/Mobile connectivity. Outbound-only billing at $0.9/TB. Includes Yabs disk/network, iperf3, Geekbench 5/6, PerformanceTest Linux scores, streaming unlock status, IP quality checks, and China route traces for purchasing reference.

Aeza has launched a new AMD EPYC 8534P-based storage VPS line with ZFS RAID and time-based bandwidth throttling (10G/1G), starting at $40/month for 4c/4G/4T. This post verifies the actual CPU specs, runs multiple benchmarks (YABS, Geekbench, fio, network tests), and comments on the lack of an NVMe system disk, making the overall price‑performance ratio underwhelming.

This post benchmarks the Hetzner AX42 dedicated server with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE and Radeon 780M integrated graphics, 64 GB DDR5 RAM, dual 512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs, and true 1 Gbps bandwidth. During the EURO 2024 promo, setup fees are waived until July 12. Strong performance for transcoding and self‑hosted services, with a high chance of brand‑new disks.

Picked up Sharon JP SG Standard at a 90% discount for the first month: Tokyo 1C2G20G KVM plus a 2C4G40G Singapore node. This post records YABS, Geekbench, fio, and fusion script benchmarks, along with routing and streaming unlock tests. Results show modest CPU and disk performance but solid bandwidth and connectivity for lightweight use cases.

Hands-on benchmark of AllHost’s UK VPS based on AMD EPYC 9454: 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB NVMe and 5 TB bandwidth @ 8 Gbps for $4.98. Covers KVM platform details (AS42831, VirtFusion, BGP support), CPU/memory/disk benchmarks, network throughput and global latency, streaming unlock status, and routing back to major Chinese networks.

An in‑depth benchmark of Sharon HK Infinite in Hong Kong, featuring top-tier CN2+9929+CMIN2 routing, 200 Mbps–10 Gbps dedicated bandwidth, 10 Gbps port and 800 GB outbound traffic. Includes CPU, disk and network benchmarks, BGP paths, China Telecom/Unicom/CMCC return routes, streaming unlock status, and real-world Trojan+TLS throughput tests.

Hands‑on guide for Hetzner dedicated servers: use an NVMe SSD with Bcache to accelerate a 14×22 TB HDD RAID array on Debian 12. Covers enabling the kernel module, installing bcache-tools, formatting and binding backing/cache devices, tuning cache modes, filesystem setup, fstab auto-mount, plus lsblk verification and YABS Fio benchmarks to eliminate I/O stalls during large downloads.

Benchmarking the Hetzner SX295 storage server: €384/month plus €79 setup, featuring 2×7.68 TB NVMe U.2 SSDs, 14×22 TB SATA HDDs, 256 GB DDR4 ECC RAM, and an EPYC 7502P CPU. Includes lscpu output, hardware details, disk benchmarks (YABS, sequential writes), Geekbench 5/6 scores, and a brief discussion of performance, capacity, value, and suitable use cases.

Hands-on benchmark of the YxVM Volume Beta Singapore node: 1 vCPU, 768MB RAM, 5GB disk, 1TB traffic @ 500Mbps with direct China Telecom/Unicom/Mobile routes (4837/CMI). Yabs shows disk I/O exceeding 1GB/s. With the recent AWS Lightsail price hikes, this may become a compelling low-cost alternative for lightweight workloads and lab use.

Sharon’s long-rumored one-year Hong Kong Premium Pre plan has finally entered a 7-day closed beta with data wiped afterwards. It debuts a rare CN2 + 9929 + CMIN2 triple-backhaul mix. This post benchmarks the SMALL1 spec across routes, latency, and throughput, with traceroutes, multi-region backhaul tests, and Fusion Monster script results. Pricing is still to be determined.
