99Stack United States Los Angeles Intel Xeon Processor Standard Instance Test and Review
We will test the 99Stack United States Los Angeles Standard Shared vCPU VPS Server this time. The server is powered by an Intel Xeon Processor (Skylake, IBRS). 2 CPU Cores/4 GB RAM/80 GB SSD Storage/3 TB Traffic/1x IPv4 and 1x IPv6.
Our analysis encompasses various rigorous tests: the Basic Benchmark and Yabs Benchmark for essential metrics, the Global Node Test for extensive network assessment, and the Global Ping Test for latency measurement.
The Media Unlock Test for regional accessibility, the CloudFlare Internet Test for connection quality, and web performance evaluations via PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance. You will gain profound insights into overall server performance through these exhaustive assessments.
About 99Stack
99Stack is a cloud service provider that stands out for its commitment to decentralization and privacy. Unlike many other providers, 99Stack operates on a decentralized model powered by a wide range of fully independent data center operators. This approach allows users to manage their public cloud resources through a unified user interface without vendor lock-in or centralized dependencies.
One of the key features of 99Stack is its global presence. The company offers public cloud resources on every continent, serving areas typically under-served by other cloud providers and the major popular regions. This global reach allows users to boost their presence near their customers, regardless of location.
Privacy is another cornerstone of 99Stack’s philosophy. The company collects only the minimum personal information required to establish a contract. Users can top up their balance with any major cryptocurrency, including privacy coins. This approach reflects 99Stack’s commitment to privacy by default.
In terms of pricing, 99Stack offers a pay-as-you-go model. This model allows users to deploy public cloud instances and resources with hourly billing, paying only for what they use. This flexible pricing model makes 99Stack’s enterprise-grade infrastructure accessible at a fraction of the cost compared to Big Tech clouds.
Ease of use is another area where 99Stack shines. The company offers a fully responsive web-based control panel that works on any device. Users can easily manage everything, quickly access relevant pages in the knowledge base, and customize the panel based on their preferences.

Conclusion
Initially, tests regarding I/O operations were conducted, the mean result being 439.7 MB/s after three rounds that reported speeds of 470 MB/s, 426 MB/s, and 423 MB/s, respectively. Numerous speed tests were performed across different cities globally, with download and upload speeds ranging from as high as 10838.10 Mbps and 10526.00 Mbps in Los Angeles, US, to as low as 0.62 Mbps and 2.59 Mbps in Hongkong, CN. The latency rates across these locations also varied substantially, with the lowest latency speed at 0.21 ms in Los Angeles, US.
Mixed read/write disk speed tests were also executed. Here, the performance for block size 4k displayed 132.79 MB/s read speed and 133.15 MB/s for write speed. Block size 64k showed 192.22 MB/s and 193.24 MB/s for read and write speed, respectively. The higher block sizes (512k and 1m) had slightly better performance rates, reaching 224.86 MB/s for writes and 210.82 MB/s for reads.
Finally, a Geekbench 6 benchmark test was conducted where the single-core performance scored 756, and the multi-core performance scored 1282. This full test took less than 20 minutes. These results indicate the potential performance and capacity of this server.
In conclusion, the 99Stack United States Los Angeles Standard Shared vCPU VPS Server performed considerably on various tests. The remarkable I/O operations speed, satisfactory internet connectivity rates across diverse locations, respectable disk read/write speeds, and decent Geekbench 6 scores indicate the server’s capability to handle a variety of workloads.
While performance in some areas was laudable, it’s also important to note that results differed significantly across different geographic locations. These results allow potential users to gauge whether this server suits their requirements.
