MVPS Sweden Stockholm High Performance Cloud KVM VPS Test and Review
We recently tested the MVPS Sweden Stockholm High-Performance Cloud KVM VPS server, powered by an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6148 CPU. It’s a setup that includes 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of RAM, 50 GB NVMe SSD storage, a 150 Mbps internet link, 5 TB of data transfer, and a single IPv4 address. Our tests aimed to evaluate its performance across various benchmarks, focusing on storage, internet speed, and overall computing power.
About MVPS
MVPS, a Cyprus-based company founded in 2018, has carved a niche by specializing in Virtual Private Server (VPS) plans. MVPS offers four VPS plans, allowing customers to choose their preferred operating system and server location at purchase. The plans are competitively priced, and while they don’t come with free domain and SSL that you would typically get with shared web hosting, the features offered make the prices worthwhile.
One of the standout features of MVPS is its uptime. With a 99.98% uptime, MVPS ensures that your website is always accessible to your visitors. This is crucial for any website owner, as downtime can lead to lost visitors and revenue.
MVPS also offers automatic backups three times per week. This feature gives you peace of mind, knowing that your data is safe and can be restored in case of mishaps. You have full control over these backups, choosing when they should happen during the week.
Now, onto the user experience. MVPS has been praised for its user-friendly platform. Even if you’re not technically inclined, you’ll find it easy to manage your servers. This ease of use extends to installing popular platforms like WordPress, which can be installed for free.
In terms of performance, MVPS uses the QEMU KVM virtualizer. This technology is distributed on vast servers to provide customers with a rich virtualization experience. The use of SSDs assures high server performance.

Admin Control Panel
MVPS has received praise for its user-friendly platform. The administration panel stands out as a highlight, impressing users with its ease of use. Even if you’re not technically inclined, you’ll find it easy to manage your servers. This ease of use extends to installing popular platforms like WordPress, which you can install for free.
Secondly, MVPS provides customers with full control over automatic backups. You can choose when these backups should happen during the week. You can disable automatic backups through the server control panel and take manual backups instead.
Thirdly, if you prefer using cPanel, MVPS offers plans that include this control panel. Alternatively, you can select a standard VPS plan and install cPanel or ask MVPS to do it for a fee.
Server Pricing
Official Website: https://www.MVPS.net
Payments
MVPS offers low-cost VPS plans. You can pay monthly, six-monthly, or yearly. If you choose the six-month or yearly payment options, you can avail of 10% and 20% discounts, respectively. This flexibility in payment terms caters to different budgetary needs and preferences.
Secondly, MVPS accepts a wide range of payment methods. This variety ensures customers from different regions can conveniently pay for their services.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that MVPS provides excellent services at very low prices. While they may not be the cheapest on the market, the quality of service they offer makes the cost worthwhile.

Customer Support
MVPS’s customer support team is available from 9 am to 9 pm (GMT+2). While they don’t offer chat support or a knowledge base, you can contact them by submitting a ticket or email. Users have reported receiving responses in less than five minutes.
Secondly, MVPS has received excellent reviews for its customer support. Users have praised the support team for their professionalism, friendliness, and quick response times. They have also appreciated the support team’s willingness to go the extra mile to assist with various requests.
However, it’s worth noting that a few users have had less than satisfactory experiences. These instances seem to be the exception rather than the rule, but it’s important to remember that no service can please everyone.
Conclusion
The server’s I/O speed consistently hit 10.4 MB/s across multiple tests, which falls short of what you’d expect from a high-performance server, marking it as poor. Internet speed tests showed promising results, with upload speeds nearly maxing out the available bandwidth and download speeds maintaining solid performance across global locations. However, the server’s performance dipped significantly in Singapore. The Geekbench 6 Benchmark revealed a single-core score of 768 and a multi-core score of 1411, situating the server’s CPU power in the lower tier of what’s considered good by current standards.
UnixBench scores, which measure the server’s CPU performance under parallel load conditions, presented a significant improvement when utilizing both CPUs, pushing the index score to 1233.2. This demonstrates a robust ability to handle concurrent processes efficiently. However, this contrasted with the server’s basic disk speed and CPU benchmark tests, underlining a mixed performance profile.
In conclusion, while the MVPS Sweden Stockholm server boasts impressive internet speed capabilities and can efficiently manage simultaneous processes, its storage speed significantly lags. The CPU’s performance, though acceptable, doesn’t quite hit the high marks expected of a “high-performance” offering. Users prioritizing network performance and parallel processing might find value here, but those with intensive I/O requirements might need to look elsewhere.
