GloboTech Canada Montreal Enterprise VPS Cloud Server Test and Review
We recently put the GloboTech Canada Montreal Enterprise VPS (Virtual Private Server) to the test. This cloud server uses a modern QEMU virtual CPU with the following specs: a dual-core CPU, 4GB of RAM, 25GB of SSD storage, a fast 1 Gbps internet connection, and one each of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Our tests included a mix of standard and specialized benchmarks. We checked the basics with standard tests and looked at how well it handles network demands with the Global Node Test. We also measured how quickly it responds to commands with the Global Ping Test.
We used the Media Unlock Test to check whether it can access media content in different regions. The CloudFlare Test showed us the quality of the server’s connection. Lastly, we used PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to see how well websites would perform on this server.

Resource Management: The customer portal allows users to manage their resources, such as dedicated servers, VPS cloud servers, RDNS, credit card details, etc.
User-friendly Interface: The portal has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for customers to navigate and manage their resources. It provides a clear view of all the dedicated servers in the user’s account.
IPMI Management: The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) allows users to connect to their dedicated server to manage low-level functionalities, such as BIOS modification, even if the server is down. This service operates independently of the server’s operating system, firmware, and CPU, hooking into the hardware directly over the network. Users can manage IPMI sessions or open new ones through the customer portal.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): GloboTech’s customer portal supports two-factor authentication, providing extra security. With 2FA, users must provide their password and a six-digit verification code generated by Google Authenticator every 30 seconds. This ensures that only the authorized user can access the account.
Security: When activating IPMI access, users can specify specific IP addresses for extra security so they can only access the IPMI connection. They can also set a time range for the automatic expiration of the connection for added security.
Server Pricing
GloboTech offers a flexible and customizable pricing model for its cloud servers. The pricing is based on your chosen resources, such as the number of Virtual CPUs (VCPUs), the amount of RAM, storage capacity, and I/O speed.
The pricing for GloboTech’s cloud servers is offered hourly, but you can also opt for monthly subscriptions. This allows you to only pay for the resources you use, providing cost-effective solutions for businesses of all sizes.
For example, a configuration with 1 VCPU, 1 GB of RAM, and 25 GB of storage with standard I/O speed costs $0.016 per hour or $11.50 per month. The prices are listed in both U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars.
In addition to the base pricing for the cloud servers, GloboTech also offers add-on services at an additional cost. For instance, snapshot backups are available at $0.10 per gigabyte monthly.
It’s important to note that GloboTech does not offer a refund policy. However, they guarantee a 100% network uptime, underscoring their commitment to reliability and customer satisfaction.

Quick Response Time: The technical support team promises an average response time of 15 minutes to its support tickets. This quick response time is a testament to their dedication to resolving customer issues promptly.
Conclusion
In our first test, which focused on input/output (I/O) operations, the server showed consistent speed, averaging 431.3 MB/s over multiple runs. We also tested how quickly data could be transferred to and from the server (upload and download speeds) and found impressive results, particularly within Canada, where it performed nearly flawlessly. However, as expected, transfer speeds decreased when connecting to more distant locations like China and India, which also introduced higher latency.
We moved on to more in-depth performance testing with the Yabs benchmark. The results showed the server could handle files of different sizes quite well, especially with larger block sizes where the reading and writing speeds were in GB/s. Geekbench measures processor power and registered solid single and multi-core performance, and the full details can be found on the Geekbench website.
For CPU-specific performance, we utilized UnixBench. The server ran two parallel tests with impressive results, demonstrating considerable computational power. The more challenging tests involving multiple concurrent processes also indicated a high-efficiency rate.
In conclusion, the GloboTech Canada Montreal Enterprise VPS shows robust performance in both basic and advanced server tasks. It excels in network speed and capacity, particularly within North America and Europe, and remains reliable even under demanding conditions. Its strong CPU capabilities should serve well for various uses, from hosting websites to running applications that require significant resources.
