Serverspace UAE Dubai VMware Cloud Intel Xeon Gold Virtual Server Test and Review
We recently checked out the Serverspace UAE Dubai VMware Cloud Virtual Server. Here’s the setup: Intel Xeon Gold 6248R CPU at 3.00GHz, 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD storage, 10 Mbps internet port, unlimited traffic, and both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
We put the server through several tests: Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark to measure performance; Global Node Test for network speeds from different locations; and Global Ping Test to check latency. We also ran The Media Unlock Test for media access, the CloudFlare Internet Test was used for connection quality, and PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix were used to gauge web performance.
About Serverspace
In the vast world of cloud hosting, a provider stands out from the crowd: Serverspace. This international cloud provider has carved a niche by deploying automated virtual infrastructure. Let’s dive into the details.
Serverspace offers Cloud VPS hosting. This service is ideal for deploying websites with a 99.9% SLA guaranteed. What does this mean for you? Well, it ensures ongoing access to their servers within the SLA or your money back in case of disruption. This is a significant assurance for businesses that rely on their websites for operations.
Moreover, Serverspace operates on a pay-as-you-go model. This means there’s no fixed payment. Your balance is charged every 10 minutes only when you use virtual servers. This flexible pricing model can be a game-changer for businesses looking to optimize their costs.
