Cherry Servers Lithuania Intel Xeon E3-1240 Lightweight Bare-metal Dedicated Server Test and Review
This time, we will test the Cherry Servers Lithuania Bare-metal Dedicated Servers. The server is powered by Intel (R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 v3 @ 3.40GHz Processor. 4 CPU Cores/DDR3 16 GB RAM/2×250 GB SSD Storage/1Gbps Uplink/30 TB Traffic Out/1x IPv4.
Our analysis encompasses various rigorous tests: the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for essential metrics, the Global Node Test for extensive network assessment, and the Global Ping Test for latency measurement.
The Media Unlock Test is for regional accessibility, the CloudFlare Internet Test is for connection quality, and web performance evaluations are via PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance. You will gain profound insights into overall server performance through these exhaustive assessments.
About Cherry Servers
Introduction: Cherry Servers is a web hosting company based in Lithuania that provides a wide range of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) hosting solutions. Offering dedicated servers, VPS, anonymous cloud hosting, and spot servers, Cherry Servers is a good choice for small and large projects.
Features: Cherry Servers offers several cloud and dedicated server solutions for small- and large-scale projects. Shared and dedicated servers are available whether you’re interested in a virtual or physical server. The plans mainly differ by storage, RAM, or processing power, but all come with:
- A personal account manager
- 24/7 technical support
- Flexible billing options
- 99.97% SLA uptime
- Complete control via RESTful API, Python, or GO
- Cloud management with DevOps integrations
- Unmetered bandwidth
- CDN integrations
After placing your order, Cherry Servers can have a pre-built server online in just a few minutes. It’s also possible to custom-build a server to your specifications, though this will take up to 24 hours. Their dedicated servers offer SSD or NVMe storage, delivering fast read/write speeds and stability.
An exciting option is purchasing free server space (unused server capacity at any given time) instead of on-demand space. Using spot servers is a good option if you are running a stateless or fault-tolerant application, and it can save you up to 70% off the regular price. The caveat is that Cherry Servers can terminate your server with a two-minute notice if they need the resources.

Conclusion
The server’s I/O speed remained consistent across three tests, averaging 316MB/s. Upload and download speeds varied depending on location, with Speedtest.net reporting speeds around 941.21 Mbps for upload and 938.06 Mbps for download and latency as low as 0.44 ms. Upload and download speeds for other locations ranged from approximately 300 Mbps to 900+ Mbps, with latency increasing for locations further from the server’s location.
Disk speed tests using ‘fio’ reported mixed read/write speeds, with larger block sizes yielding faster speeds and read/write speeds relatively balanced within the same block size. The Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test results showed a single-core score of 1191 and a multi-core score of 4056. These tests were completed in roughly 11 minutes.
The report also included an extensive trial using system benchmarks that measured the performance of various system operations, such as file copying with different buffer sizes and maximum blocks and script execution. The server performed strongly in these tests, with high scores across most categories, particularly in shell script execution and file copying tasks.
In conclusion, the Cherry Servers Lithuania Bare-metal Dedicated Server showed a solid overall performance. It boasts consistent I/O speeds and robust upload/download speeds across several global locations.
The server demonstrated impressive disk speeds in mixed read/write operations and performed well in complex operations per the results of Geekbench and system benchmarks. This server appears well-equipped to handle demanding applications and workloads efficiently.
