KDATA Vietnam Hanoi Intel Xeon CPU E5-2697 Hourly Billing Cheap Cloud Server Test and Review
This review will analyze the KDATA Vietnam Hanoi Cloud Server, which offers flexible, hourly billing options for cost-conscious users. This budget-friendly server is hosted on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v3 @ 2.60GHz Processor, utilizing 2 CPU cores, and comes equipped with 2 GB RAM, 24 GB SSD storage, a robust 100 Mbps Internet port, and allows for unlimited traffic. Additionally, it provides 1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 address each.
Our examination is thorough, adopting a multi-faceted approach that includes a variety of rigorous tests. The fundamental performance metrics will be evaluated using the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark tests. Our comprehensive network analysis will be conducted using a Global Node Test, supplemented by a Global Ping Test to measure latency.
We’ll also employ the Media Unlock Test to judge accessibility across different regions. The connection quality will be gauged using the CloudFlare Internet Test, with web performance evaluations carried out via PageSpeed Insights and the GTmetrix Performance tool. Our exhaustive assessments are designed to provide a deep understanding of the overall server performance.
