VMHaus United States Fremont Hourly Billing SSD Cloud Server Test and Review
We’ve just tested the VMHaus United States Fremont Hourly Billing Cloud Server, specifically their VMH-4GB plan. Here’s what it packs:
Processor: Intel Xeon E312xx (Sandy Bridge), Configuration:
- 4 CPU Cores
- 4 GB RAM
- 50 GB SSD Storage
- 1 Gbps Internet Connection
- 1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 Address
What We Tested:
- Performance Tests: We ran the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark to see how fast the server operates.
- Network Speed: The Global Node Test checked how well it connects from different locations worldwide.
- Latency: We measured the response time with the Global Ping Test.
- Media Access: The Media Unlock Test ensured we could access various media content.
- Connection Quality: CloudFlare’s Internet Test gave us insights into the server’s internet connection quality.
- Web Performance: Tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix helped us evaluate how quickly web pages load.
This setup should give you a clear idea of what to expect from VMHaus’s Fremont server regarding speed, connectivity, and performance.
About VMHaus
VMHaus isn’t your typical hosting provider. They operate under their Network with the ASN number AS136620, which might sound like tech jargon, but it’s crucial for understanding their service quality. This means VMHaus directly connects to major internet exchanges like the London Internet Exchange (LINX), significantly reducing latency for UK and European users. They’re not just hosting your site; they’re ensuring it’s accessible with minimal delay, thanks to direct peering with giants like Google, YouTube, and Twitch. This infrastructure setup is a testament to VMHaus’s commitment to performance, something not every provider can boast about.

Conclusion
Starting with the I/O speed tests, the server showed an average I/O speed of 195.7 MB/s, which falls into the poor category. However, the network performance was impressive, with upload and download speeds reaching 1815.70 Mbps and 1803.36 Mbps, respectively, in the Los Angeles test.
The Yabs Performance Bench highlighted mixed disk speeds. The 4k and 64k block sizes showed read and write speeds of around 180 MB/s, while larger block sizes like 512k and 1m demonstrated higher speeds, peaking at 414.12 MB/s for 512k blocks. These results indicate moderate disk performance, which is suitable for general use but not for high-intensity I/O operations.
In the Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test, the server scored 453 in single-core performance and 1488 in multi-core performance. These scores place it in the standard range for single-core tasks and above average for multi-core tasks, indicating a balanced performance for various applications.
The UnixBench results showed strong CPU performance, especially in multi-threaded tasks. The system benchmarks index score of 647.7 for single-threaded tests, and 1741.7 for multi-threaded tests confirmed the server’s capability to handle concurrent processes efficiently.
In conclusion, the VMHaus VMH-4GB plan offers solid network speeds and decent CPU performance, making it a viable option for general cloud hosting needs. However, the I/O speed may be a limiting factor for applications requiring high disk throughput. Overall, it provides a balanced performance for its price point.
