MoonQube United States Ashburn Intel Xeon Compute Qubes Cloud Server Test and Review
In this review, we’re putting the MoonQube server based in Ashburn, USA, to the test. It’s got a powerful Intel Xeon Processor, 32 CPU cores, 64 GB of RAM, 1280 GB of NVMe SSD storage, 10 Gbps internet connection, 8 TB data transfer, and its unique IPv4 address.
We’ll put it through its paces with a series of tests: a ‘Basic Benchmark’ to get a general sense of performance, ‘Yabs’ and ‘Unix Benchmark’ to dig into the important details, a ‘Global Node Test’ to check out network reach, and a ‘Global Ping Test’ to see how quickly it responds.
Our team also checked if it can access content from different providers with the ‘Media Unlock Test,’ measure how well it connects with the ‘CloudFlare Internet Test,’ and rate web speed using tools like ‘PageSpeed Insights’ and ‘GTmetrix Performance.’
About MoonQube
MoonQube is a technology company established in 2023 and based in the United States. It specializes in providing various services that cater to the needs of businesses and individuals alike. These services range from Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting to block storage, object storage, Kubernetes, web hosting, and domain hosting.
The company’s VPS hosting service is one of its key offerings. This service allows users to have their dedicated portion of a physical server, which provides them with the same capabilities and functionalities as a dedicated server but at a lower cost. This is particularly beneficial for businesses requiring high data security levels and control over their server environment.
In addition to VPS hosting, MoonQube also offers block storage services. This involves storing data in fixed-sized blocks within a storage area network (SAN). Each block acts as an individual hard drive configured by the storage administrator. This type of storage is ideal for applications that require high performance and low latency.
On the other hand, MoonQube’s object storage service is designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data. Unlike block storage, object storage includes metadata along with the data itself. This makes it easier to manage and analyze.
Another significant service provided by MoonQube is Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to automate containerized applications’ deployment, scaling, and management. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.

Conclusion
Starting with the Basic Bench tests, the server’s Input/Output (I/O) speed consistently hit over 600 MB/s across different runs, indicating a solid performance as this is above the 500 MB/s mark we consider good. Network strength was formidable at domestic nodes, with upload speeds peaking at 2627.96 Mbps and download speeds reaching a swift 5764.47 Mbps.
The results of diving into disk performance with the Yabs Performance Bench were encouraging. The server delivered read and write speeds well above 1 GB/s for larger block sizes, signifying excellent performance. Similarly, in the Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test, while our single-core result of 1396 is above the average mark, it doesn’t break into the ‘good’ category. However, the multi-core score of 10995 is robust, showcasing its capability of handling multi-threaded tasks efficiently.
UnixBench scores further supported the server’s strong CPU performance, with particularly high scores in the file copy tests and the System Benchmarks Index Score rounding off at an impressive 1952.9. It’s clear from these metrics that the server is more than capable of handling a range of processes simultaneously without taking a performance hit.
In conclusion, the MoonQube server in Ashburn offers exceptional performance for tasks that require intense read/write speeds and multi-core processing. The Basic Bench and UnixBench outcomes reflect a reliable and powerful service suitable for heavy computational tasks and high-speed data handling. Although global network performance varied, the server is robust and fast domestically. With its strong multi-core capabilities and high-speed storage, this server is an excellent choice for demanding applications and web services.
