Conclusion
Benchmark tests revealed decent processing power for a VPS at this price point. Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores were 657 and 1734, respectively. Memory performance was also respectable, with read speeds reaching 14259 MB/s and write speeds hitting 9374 MB/s in initial tests. More sustained memory tests showed average read speeds of 3784 MB/s and write speeds of 2945 MB/s over 10 seconds.
Disk performance was a mixed bag. While the 1GB block tests demonstrated good speeds, reaching 677 MB/s for writes and 734 MB/s for reads, the smaller 4K block tests were significantly slower. More comprehensive disk tests using fio showed solid random I/O performance, exceeding 100 MB/s for both reads and writes with 4k blocks, and reaching over 1 GB/s with larger block sizes.
Network testing using iperf3 showed consistent speeds across various global locations, generally hovering between 500-800 Mbit/s. While the advertised 1 Gbps port wasn’t fully saturated in these tests, the achieved speeds are still suitable for most common VPS applications. Interestingly, IPv6 performance often matched or even exceeded IPv4 in several test locations.
Finally, the server passed streaming unlock tests for major platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video, confirming its ability to access geo-restricted content. IP quality checks revealed a clean reputation, with no blacklisting issues. Email port testing indicated standard functionality for receiving mail but limited ability to send directly through common providers.
In conclusion, CharityHost’s VPS SSD 2 plan offers a balanced combination of performance and affordability. While the disk performance could be more consistent, the server’s processing power, memory speeds, and network connectivity make it a viable option for users seeking a budget-friendly VPS solution for general use, including streaming and accessing geo-restricted content.
