Vultr India Mumbai General Purpose Cloud Dedicated Server Test and Review
This time, we will check out the Vultr India Mumbai Dedicated VPS Hosting. This server is not ordinary; an AMD EPYC-Rome Processor powers it. It also features 2 CPU Cores, 8 GB of RAM, 50 GB of SSD Storage, a 1 Gbps Internet Port, and can handle up to 5 TB of Traffic. Plus, it supports 1x IPv4 and 1x IPv6 Address, meaning it’s ready for anything.
But how does it perform? We’ve run a bunch of tough checks to find out. First, we ran the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark. These tests serve key data to help us understand how the server stands up in crucial tasks. Then, we ran the Global Node Test to see how well it talks to the wider world. We also measure the server’s reaction speed with the Global Ping Test.
Next, we checked how well it can connect to different regions across the globe via the Media Unlock Test and analyzed the connection quality using the CloudFlare Internet Test. Finally, we used tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance to see how fast it can load web pages.
We’ve done the hard work to provide you with clear insights. By running these comprehensive tests, we ensure you understand what the server can do and how well it performs daily.
About Vultr
Vultr is a cloud service provider that offers high-performance cloud computing environments, including dedicated CPU servers. Here’s a detailed introduction:
Dedicated Resources: Vultr’s dedicated CPU servers, known as Vultr Dedicated Cloud (VDC), provide dedicated resources to users. This means you won’t share resources with other users, ensuring optimal performance.
Flexible Renting: With VDC, you can rent 25%, 50%, 75%, or even an entire dedicated server. This unique approach allows you to scale your resources according to your needs.
Fast Provisioning and Hourly Billing: VDC servers come with the advantages of the Vultr platform, including fast provisioning and hourly billing. This means you can quickly deploy servers and only pay for the hours you use.
High Performance: VDC offers plans configured with up to 8 vCPUs, 32GB RAM, and 4 x 120GB independent SSDs. These high-performance specifications ensure your applications run smoothly.
Bandwidth: VDC servers include a generous bandwidth allowance. For example, some plans include up to 40TB of bandwidth.
Global Deployment: Vultr has data centers in multiple locations worldwide, allowing you to deploy your applications close to your user base for reduced latency.
Operating System Flexibility: With Vultr, you can deploy instances with your preferred operating system or even upload your own.
Additional Features: Vultr also offers backups, block storage, object storage, load balancing, DDoS protection, and SSH key setup.
Data Control: Vultr acts as a data controller and a data processor, handling customer information for payment processing and customer support.

Conclusion
What’s special about this server is that an AMD EPYC-Rome Processor turbocharges it. It also has 2 CPU Cores, 8 GB of RAM, and a sizable 50 GB of SSD Storage. With a 1 Gbps Internet Port and the ability to handle up to 5 TB of traffic, it’s quite a powerhouse. Adding an icing to the cake, it supports 1x IPv4 and 1x IPv6 addresses, making it future-ready.
We left no stone unturned during our testing. For the Basic Bench, the average I/O speed was a healthy 793.3 MB/s. Our server also offers impressive speeds during upload and download tests across multiple global locations. Interestingly, the read-and-write speed figures for the Yabs Performance Bench were simply off the charts – peaking at around 1.83 GB/s (read) and 1.95 GB/s (write) with a 1m block size.
Geekbench gave our server scores of 1429 for single-core and 2544 for multi-core, indicating robust processing prowess. As for the exhaustive UnixBench run, it saw impressive scores across the board, with a final System Benchmarks Index Score of 1719.1 when running 2 parallel copies of tests, signaling strong overall performance.
Getting onto the Media Unlock Test, our server demonstrated a regional affinity for India. It successfully bypassed restrictions for services like Dazn, YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime Video, and TVBAnywhere+. However, it fell short of providing access to platforms like Hotstar, Disney+, Netflix, and Viu.com.
So, what’s our take? The Vultr India Mumbai Dedicated VPS Hosting is a potent, high-performing server, as seen in our extensive testing. It boasts ultra-fast speeds, solid general performance, and stellar processing capabilities. However, its media unlocking potential could use a boost. If you require a server for resource-intensive tasks and aren’t heavily reliant on accessing global streaming content, this could be a great fit for you!
