Server Pricing
Another advantage of IntoVPS is its flexible pricing. Customers can pay per hour, which can be more cost-effective for businesses with fluctuating traffic levels. This pay-as-you-go model significantly benefits startups and small businesses that must carefully manage costs.
Official Website: https://www.IntoVPS.com
Payments
One of the key features of their billing system is the pay-per-hour model. This allows customers to only pay for the exact amount of resources they use, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses with fluctuating needs.
Customers must log in to their Fleio account and navigate to the Billing History section to view their billing history. Here, they can see how much credit their VPSs have consumed during the month. If they want to see the consumption for the previous months, they can use the arrows provided. Detailed information about the hours of credit consumption can be viewed by clicking on the instance.
In case of any issues with the payment process, IntoVPS provides a comprehensive knowledge base. For instance, they provide solutions for common errors like “Processing error. -19 Authentication failed”, which usually occurs due to card authentication issues.

Conclusion
Our initial tests focused on the server’s ability to read from and write to its solid-state drive. Across three runs, the I/O speeds hovered around 343 MB/s, which falls into the category of good performance. It’s not top-of-the-line, but it’s up to the task for most applications. The Yabs performance tests mirrored this, with mixed read/write operations delivering speeds well over the 500 MB/s mark when dealing with larger blocks, which demonstrates the drive can efficiently handle larger files and applications.
The Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test was revealing as well. The server’s single-core performance was somewhat standard, just shy of 800. However, its multi-core score, at over 2500, was impressive, indicating that the server can effectively handle parallel processing tasks in more demanding applications and workloads.
UnixBench scores, which reflect the server’s CPU performance, showed exceptional results, particularly when all cores were utilized. The system indexed well above the baseline across all tests, with particularly high scores in the multi-paralleled test scenarios, showcasing that the server will likely excel in multi-threaded processes.
In conclusion, the IntoVPS Dallas VPS service demonstrates well-rounded performance. Its SSD speeds are good, suggesting snappy day-to-day operations. CPU capabilities are particularly strong in multi-core scenarios, making this service a solid choice for multitasking and demanding applications. While its single-core performance isn’t breaking any records, it maintains a standard many users will find sufficient. Overall, this VPS offers a reliable infrastructure that could suit various hosting needs.
