Conclusion
Here’s a summary of our recent test of the Intercolo CE-2 VPS in Frankfurt. We wanted to see how this budget-friendly server handles basic web hosting and testing tasks. The CE-2 comes with 2 virtual CPUs, 2 GB of RAM, and 25 GB of SSD storage. Intercolo advertises “unlimited” traffic, and the server boasts a 1 Gbps network connection. We ran a series of tests to evaluate its performance.
The CPU performance is decent, falling into a mid-range category based on Geekbench scores. Memory speeds are good, and the SSD delivers solid read and write speeds. The network performance is a real highlight. We consistently saw speeds exceeding 2 Gbps in both directions, which is excellent for a VPS in this price range. This fast network is ideal for serving content quickly.
However, we did encounter a few drawbacks. The server failed to unlock some popular streaming services, such as Dazn and Disney+. While Netflix worked, it only allowed access to original content. The IP quality checks also raised some concerns, indicating potential risks associated with the IP address. This might affect email deliverability or trigger security warnings on some websites.
In conclusion, the Intercolo CE-2 VPS offers a good balance of performance and affordability. The strong network speeds and decent storage make it suitable for hosting basic websites or running development and testing environments. However, the streaming limitations and potential IP reputation issues are worth considering. If you need a cheap server for general-purpose use, it’s a reasonable option, but be aware of its limitations.
