Hostman United States New York Unlimited Traffic Scalable Cloud Server Test and Review
We recently tested the Hostman cloud server based in New York, priced at $6.00 per month. It runs on a QEMU Virtual CPU (version 4.2.0) and offers 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, an 80 GB NVMe disk, a 200 Mbps internet port, and one IPv4 address.
Our review included several tests: Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance, Global Node Test for network speeds across locations, and Global Ping Test for latency. We also checked media accessibility with The Media Unlock Test, connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test, and web performance using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.

Conclusion
The server displayed good I/O speed in the Basic Benchmark, averaging 686.7 MB/s, well above the 500 MB/s mark considered good. Network speeds were consistent across various locations, with most US and European cities reaching close to the 200 Mbps limit. However, speeds dropped significantly in Asian locations like Chongqing and Hong Kong, which is something to consider if you have a global audience.
The Yabs Performance Bench further confirmed the server’s strong disk performance. It achieved a total disk speed of 2.61 GB/s for 512k blocks and 2.56 GB/s for 1m blocks, indicating excellent read and write capabilities. This performance is ideal for applications that require fast data access.
In the Geekbench 6 test, the server scored 769 for single-core and 1344 for multi-core performance, placing it in the standard range. While not the highest, these scores are reasonable for the price and should handle most everyday tasks efficiently.
When running two parallel tests, the UnixBench results showed robust CPU performance with a System Benchmarks Index Score of 1389.3. This score suggests the server can handle multiple processes well, making it suitable for moderate workloads.
In conclusion, the Hostman cloud server offers excellent value, strong I/O performance, and reliable network speeds in most regions. While it may not excel in single-core tasks, its overall capabilities make it a solid choice for budget-conscious users with moderate performance needs.
