VMHaus Netherlands Amsterdam Intel Xeon E312xx Hourly Billing Cloud Server Test and Review
We tested the VMHaus Netherlands Amsterdam Hourly Billing SSD Cloud Server (Plan: VMH-4GB). It runs on an Intel Xeon E312xx (Sandy Bridge) Processor and offers 4 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, 8 TB of traffic, and both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Our review covers several tests: Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance, Global Node Test for network speed across locations, and Global Ping Test for latency. We also check media access with The Media Unlock Test, connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test, and web performance using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.
About VMHaus
VMHaus offers a range of virtual private servers (VPS) that cater to different needs and budgets. Whether you’re a small business owner, a developer, or a hobbyist, you’ll find a plan that suits your requirements. Their pricing is competitive, with plans starting at $3 per month for a server with 512MB of RAM and 10GB of storage. This affordability makes VMHaus an attractive option for those just starting or looking to save on hosting costs.
One of the key features of VMHaus is its use of SSD storage. Unlike traditional hard drives, SSDs provide faster read and write speeds, translating to better website and application performance. This means quicker load times, smoother user experiences, and improved efficiency. In addition, VMHaus offers hourly billing, allowing you to pay only for the resources you use. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for projects with fluctuating demands or those wanting to test different configurations without committing to a long-term contract.
VMHaus operates data centers in multiple locations, including London, Fremont, and Amsterdam. This geographical diversity ensures that you can choose a server location closest to your target audience, reducing latency and improving the overall performance of your services. Moreover, VMHaus provides BGP hosting for those interested in advanced networking features. This is a great option for users who want to experiment with network configurations or require more control over their traffic routing.

Conclusion
In our Basic Benchmark tests, the server’s I/O speed averaged 359.7 MB/s, which is decent but could be better. The upload and download speeds were impressive, especially in Amsterdam, where it hit 2868.36 Mbps for upload and 5191.85 Mbps for download. Latency was low locally but higher for distant locations like Shanghai and Tokyo.
The Yabs Performance Bench showed mixed results. While the total disk speed for larger block sizes exceeded 500 MB/s, indicating good performance, smaller ones were slower. This suggests the server handles larger data transfers well but may struggle with smaller, more frequent operations.
The Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test revealed that the server’s single-core performance scored 291, below standard, while the multi-core score of 938 was better but still not exceptional. The UnixBench results varied, with some tests like Dhrystone 2 and Shell Scripts showing strong performance, but others like Pipe-based Context Switching were weaker.
In conclusion, the VMHaus server offers reliable network speeds and decent multi-core performance, but its single-core capabilities and I/O speed could improve. It’s a solid choice for tasks that require high data transfer rates, but those needing strong single-core performance might want to explore other options.
