Melbicom Sweden Stockholm Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 Virtual Linux Server Test and Review
We recently tested Melbicom’s Sweden Stockholm Virtual Linux Server (Plan: VDS-8-SSD-STO, priced at €62.4/month) to evaluate its performance and capabilities. The server has an Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 CPU running at 2.10GHz, 8 cores, 16GB of RAM, 160GB NVMe SSD storage, and a 1Gbps internet port. It also includes 1 IPv4 and 16 IPv6 addresses. The server runs on Debian GNU/Linux 11 with a 5.10.0-8-amd64 kernel and uses the bbr TCP acceleration protocol. Our tests focused on CPU performance, memory speed, disk I/O, network speed, and streaming unlock capabilities.

Conclusion
The Geekbench 6 benchmark revealed solid performance, with a single-core score of 774 and a multi-core score of 3980, indicating strong processing power for single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks. Memory tests showed impressive read and write speeds, with single read speeds reaching 18,510.98 MB/s and single write speeds at 13,214.05 MB/s. Disk performance was equally robust, with 4K block write speeds of 21.8 MB/s and read speeds of 36.8 MB/s, while 1M block tests achieved write speeds of 806 MB/s and read speeds of 664 MB/s. Fio tests further confirmed excellent disk performance, with 4K read/write speeds of 120.17 MB/s and 120.49 MB/s, respectively, scaling up to 1.33 GB/s and 1.42 GB/s for larger block sizes.
Network performance was tested using iperf3 across multiple global locations. The server delivered near-maximum speeds in Europe, with 999 Mbits/sec send and 973 Mbits/sec receive speeds in London, and 1.01 Gbits/sec send speeds in Amsterdam. Performance remained strong in Asia and the US, though speeds dropped slightly in more distant locations like Singapore (810 Mbits/sec) and Los Angeles (536 Mbits/sec). Streaming unlock tests revealed mixed results: while YouTube Premium and Amazon Prime Video worked seamlessly, Netflix was limited to originals, and Disney+ was inaccessible due to an IP ban. The server also supports ChatGPT and Claude but lacks access to Google Gemini.
Regarding security and IP reputation, the server scored well, with a low threat level and no malicious records across multiple databases. It is flagged as a data center IP, typical for hosting providers, and supports all standard email ports locally. However, it faced restrictions with major email providers like Gmail and Outlook.
Conclusion: Melbicom’s Sweden Stockholm Virtual Linux Server delivers excellent performance for CPU-intensive tasks, high-speed memory, and disk operations, making it a strong choice for businesses needing reliable hosting. Its network performance is particularly impressive in Europe, though distant regions may experience slower speeds. While streaming unlock capabilities are limited, the server excels in technical performance and security, making it a solid option for hosting and development needs.
