GoSSDHosting UK London Intel Xeon E5-2680 Enterprise Grade VPS Test and Review

We recently checked out GoSSDHosting‘s London VPS server, which is aimed at business-level needs. It runs on an Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processor at 2.40GHz and comes with 1 CPU core, 1GB of RAM, 25GB of SSD storage, a fast 1 Gbps internet connection, 0.5TB of data allowance, and one IPv4 address.

For our review, we used a bunch of different checks. We started with the basics, using tools like Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark to measure standard performance. To check the server’s network, we ran the Global Node Test for a thorough look and the Global Ping Test to see response times.

We tested how it handles content worldwide with the Media Unlock Test and judged connection quality through the CloudFlare Speed Test. Finally, we used PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to see how fast web pages load.

Conclusion

In terms of performance, the server’s I/O operations were swift, averaging around 452.7 MB/s, and it showed strong upload and download speeds near the maximum of a 1 Gbps connection across various locations, except for a few spots in China, which significantly lagged. The results from the Yabs performance test indicated solid read and write capabilities, especially with larger block sizes, demonstrating good disk performance.

The UnixBench scores revealed impressive results for CPU-intensive tasks, particularly when all 4 CPUs were engaged, skyrocketing the server’s score. However, the server faced difficulties running certain tests, like the Geekbench 6, indicating possible limitations or compatibility issues that must be addressed.

We also ran tests to assess how the server handles content across different regions. The Media Unlock Test showed that the server could access various streaming services and content in the UK, with some limitations on platforms like Disney+ and Viu.com, which suggests some geo-restrictions in place.

In conclusion, GoSSDHosting’s London server shows strong potential for businesses that need reliable and robust performance, especially in processing power and network speed. While regional access limitations may exist for specific media services, the server performs excellently in most essential business-related tasks. The issue with the Geekbench 6 test is a minor blemish in an otherwise solid performance record.
