Intercolo Germany Frankfurt Performance Line Hourly Billing Cloud Server Test and Review
We put Intercolo‘s Frankfurt Performance Line Hourly Billing Cloud Server (CP-2 plan) to the test. This server boasts a 2.5+ GHz QEMU virtual CPU, 2 cores, 4GB RAM, an 80GB SSD, a 1 Gbps port, 5TB of traffic, and one IPv4 plus one IPv6 address.
Our team ran many tests, including benchmarks with Yabs, global network speed tests, ping tests to measure latency, and media streaming checks. We also tested the connection quality and used PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to analyze website performance.

Conclusion
We tested Intercolo’s Frankfurt CP-2 cloud server, featuring 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, and an 80GB SSD, to see how it performs. Our initial benchmark focused on storage speed. While the average I/O speed hovered around 218.7 MB/s, indicating decent performance, the fluctuating results (ranging from 175 MB/s to 261 MB/s) suggest some inconsistency in storage performance.
Network performance was a mixed bag. The server showed a blazing-fast 963.78 Mbps upload and 935.13 Mbps download speed to a nearby test server. However, speeds to more distant locations varied significantly, highlighting the impact of geographic location on network performance. For example, connections to Asian locations like Chongqing and Hong Kong experienced significantly slower speeds.
Yabs benchmark tests provided a more detailed look at disk performance. The server achieved impressive read and write speeds, exceeding 2 GB/s with larger block sizes. This strong performance suggests the server is well-suited for tasks involving large file transfers and database operations. The high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) numbers further reinforce the server’s capability to handle demanding workloads.
The Geekbench 6 benchmark revealed a single-core score of 1034 and a multi-core score of 1879. This places the server in the “good” performance category for single-core processing and demonstrates respectable multi-core capabilities. These scores indicate the server can handle moderately demanding applications and multitasking efficiently.
In conclusion, Intercolo’s Frankfurt CP-2 server offers a good balance of performance and features. While storage performance showed some inconsistencies, the network speeds within Europe were excellent, and the CPU benchmarks demonstrated solid processing power. This server is a viable option for users seeking reliable performance for web hosting, applications, and other online projects, particularly those targeting a European audience.
