Kamatera Spain Madrid Type A High-Performance KVM Cloud Server Test and Review
We recently tested the Kamatera Spain Madrid Type A High-Performance Cloud Server. It uses a QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+ processor with 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, and an IPv4 and IPv6 address.
Our review covers several tests: Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance, Global Node Test for network speeds in different 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.
