Ikoula France Intel 9700K Dedicated Server Benchmark

Ikoula is a French hosting provider founded in 1998, with its data center located in Reims, France. Ikoula mainly offers dedicated servers and cloud servers, and is one of the few European providers that are very friendly to Chinese users, even providing a Chinese control panel. In terms of price-to-performance, Ikoula’s servers are decent, but the control panel is truly terrible: OS reinstalls are limited to 20 times per month, and there are all kinds of confusing, poorly explained features. This promo machine uses a consumer PC chassis as the server, with specs quite close to OVH’s KS-A and very solid performance. Barring surprises, this is likely another great PT box.
