Hetzner Singapore AMD EPYC™ Shared vCPU Flexible Cloud VPS Test and Review
We recently tested the Hetzner Singapore Shared vCPU Flexible Cloud Server (Plan: CPX11), which features an AMD EPYC Processor, 2 CPU cores, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe SSD storage, and a 1 Gbps internet port. The server also includes 1 TB of traffic and both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Our review covered 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 checked media accessibility with The Media Unlock Test, connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test, and web performance using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.
