Admin Control Panel
Virtono’s Admin Control Panel is a feature-rich platform that provides users with an easy-to-use interface for managing their hosting services. It has various commendable features that even new users can navigate without problems.
One of the key features of Virtono’s Admin Control Panel is cPanel and WHM. This popular web hosting control panel simplifies the process of managing a website. It allows users to control their website’s files, databases, email accounts, and more.
Virtono’s Admin Control Panel also provides full root access. This means users have complete control over their server environment, allowing them to install and configure any software they need.
The control panel supports multiple PHP versions, which is beneficial for users who need to run applications that require a specific PHP version. It also provides SSH/FTP access, enabling users to securely manage files and execute commands on their server.
Another notable feature is Softaculous, an auto-installer that allows users to install popular web applications like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal with just a few clicks.
Server Pricing
In terms of pricing, Virtono offers competitive rates that are within the market range. Their hosting plans range from as low as €0.80/month for the ‘Starter’ plan, which offers 5GB SSD storage, unlimited databases, email accounts, an SSL certificate, and daily backups. This is enough for a premature blog website.
Virtono offers the ‘Premium’ hosting plan for those needing more resources. This plan allows you to host a simple website with multiple databases and personalized email boxes. If you’re looking for an unlimited but shared hosting package with CloudFlare and a dedicated RAM between 384-2GB, Virtono has got you covered.
Moreover, their VPS plans are reportedly more affordable than those of other European hosts. You can get a dedicated SSD server with unmetered bandwidth for the price of a VPS. Although the hard disk space may be smaller than other disks, they compensate by faster data transfer.

Conclusion
Starting with the basics, the average I/O speed hovered around 350 MB/s. While not reaching the impressive 500 MB/s mark that signifies ‘good,’ it managed to steer clear of the ‘poor’ category, which falls below 200 MB/s. The server’s upload and download prowess was proven through various node tests, with the best performance shown in local networks, as expected. Despite some distance latency, the speeds largely remained high. The notable exception was Hong Kong, which presented unusually low numbers.
The Yabs performance test confirmed the earlier I/O results, with mixed read/write operations showing a decent total speed across different block sizes. Geekbench 6’s benchmark for single-core performance placed the server in the ‘standard’ category with a score of 769, and the multi-core score of 1342 suggests a ‘good’ performance. The UnixBench scores were impressive, especially when the server utilized both CPU cores, achieving an overall index score of 2027.1, which puts it in the ‘excellent’ category.
In conclusion, the Virtono Cloud VPS in Los Angeles delivers a solid performance. Its strengths are most apparent when the server fully leverages its multi-core capabilities, which catapult it into the ‘excellent’ index score range. Although the I/O speeds weren’t groundbreaking, they comfortably sat in a decent range, suggesting that the server can handle most tasks without sweat.
The deployment should be well-suited for various tasks, from hosting websites to running applications, particularly for users in or near the United States, where the connectivity is strongest. The server’s performance across global connections is adequate, though some regional disparities are to be expected.
