Admin Control Panel
Atomic Networks’ Admin Control Panel is a key component of their VPS offerings. It’s designed to provide users with an easy-to-use server management interface.
The Admin Control Panel allows users to perform various tasks, such as deploying their VPS, setting up IPv6 distribution, and managing Wireguard + Slaac. This makes it easy for users to manage their servers and perform necessary tasks without extensive technical knowledge.
One of the standout features of the Admin Control Panel is its automation capabilities. Everything is automated, making it easy for users to deploy their VPS. This can be a significant time-saver, especially for users who need to manage multiple servers.
Despite these features, it’s important to note that the Admin Control Panel may not support all functionalities. For instance, they normally do not allow a VPS to send and receive emails. However, this could vary depending on the specific plan and user requirements.
Server Pricing

Payments
Atomic Networks offers a variety of payment and billing options for their VPS services. They have a range of plans available, each with different pricing structures.
One of the standout features of Atomic Networks’ payment and billing system is its affordability. For instance, during their Black Friday 2023 sale, they offered a VPS for only $6.49 annually. This pricing makes their services accessible to a wide range of customers.
Customers are billed annually for their services in terms of their billing cycle. This means that customers pay for their services upfront for the year, which can help with budgeting and cost management.
However, it’s important to note that additional costs may be involved while their pricing is competitive. For example, IPv4 is an additional $3.50 per year per IP. Customers should be aware of these potential additional costs when considering their services.
Customer Support
Atomic Networks’ customer support is a crucial aspect of their service. They have been praised for their quick responses. For example, a customer reported wanting to install a custom OS, and Atomic Networks instantly attached the CD. This kind of prompt service can be invaluable in a field where time is often of the essence.
However, there have been instances where customers have reported unprofessional support. One customer reported being stuck for almost 72 hours because they were short of 3 cents. Although the customer acknowledged that it was partly their fault, they received no help or explanation.
In terms of communication, customers can reach out to Atomic Networks through email. However, one customer reported that they did not receive a reply to their email within 24 hours. This could be an area where Atomic Networks could improve their customer service.
Conclusion
The primary performance benchmarks showed impressive I/O speeds, averaging 926 MB/s across three test runs. In network capability tests, the server displayed great performance with significant upload and download speeds in various international locations, although latency varied with geography—as expected.
In-depth testing with Yabs revealed high disk throughput with mixed read/write operations, showing over 700 MB/s for 4k blocks and nearly 5 GB/s for 1m blocks. The Geekbench test supported these findings, with single and multi-core scores of 1714 and 2954, respectively. In UnixBench tests, the system performed admirably, with sequential runs showing its ability to handle parallel tasks effectively—scoring even higher when utilizing both CPU cores.
The media accessibility tests highlighted the server’s capability to unlock regional content from various services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+, indicating a versatile server well-suited for streaming and content delivery across different regions.
In conclusion, the Atomic Networks VPS server shows robust performance across various benchmarks, from raw processing and disk speed to network bandwidth and latency. This server setup can handle demanding tasks and is particularly strong in data-intensive operations. The added benefit of accessing geo-restricted media content makes it a strong contender for users looking to stream and browse content smoothly from different regions around the globe.
