3HCloud United States Miami Intel Xeon Gold 6248R Public Cloud Virtual Machine Test and Review
We recently checked out the Miami-based 3HCloud Public Cloud server. It’s equipped with a zippy Intel Xeon Gold 6248R CPU at 3.00GHz and comes with a setup of 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of memory, 16 GB of solid-state drive storage, a speedy 10 Gbps internet connection, and one of each IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Our team ran a series of tests to see how well it performs. So, we started with benchmarks like Yabs and Unix Benchmark to get the standard performance figures. We used the Global Node Test for network speed, and to measure how quickly it responds, we did the Global Ping Test.
We checked if different regional content was accessible with the Media Unlock Test. The CloudFlare Test helped us understand the quality of the internet connection. Finally, we used PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to assess how well websites would run on this server.
