Profvds Slovakia Bratislava Xenserver HVM VPS Server Hosting Test and Review
Let’s look at the Profvds Slovakia Bratislava VPS hosting, which runs on powerful Intel Xeon processors at 2.50GHz. This server has a dual-core CPU, 4 GB of memory, 50 GB of SSD storage, a super-fast 1 Gbit internet connection, unlimited bandwidth, and an IPv4 and IPv6 address.
Our team will be checking it out with several tests. We’ll use simple benchmarks like Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and the common Unix Benchmark for general performance. We’ll conduct a Global Node Test and a Global Ping Test to evaluate the network reach and quality.
The Media Unlock Test will show us whether you can access content from different regions, while the CloudFlare Test checks how well it connects with a widely used web service. We’ll also use PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to see how fast it can load web pages.
