VPSie United States Los Angeles Shared CPU VPS Hosting Test and Review
In this review, we’re diving into the United States Los Angeles-based VPSie Shared vCPU Virtual Private Server. A standard KVM processor powers it and comes equipped with one CPU core, 1GB of RAM, and 20 GB of SSD storage, allowing up to 1 TB of data traffic. Plus, it supports one IPv4 and one IPv6 address.
We put it to the test using a range of tools to see how well it performs. We start with the basics, checking its speed and efficiency with tests like the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark. Then, we move on to see how it does across the globe with the Global Node Test for network performance and the Global Ping Test for response times.
Our team also checked how well it accesses content from different regions using the Media Unlock Test and tested connection quality with the CloudFlare Internet Test. Finally, we assess its web performance with tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance. These thorough tests give you a clear picture of how this server stands up under pressure.

Conclusion
Firstly, the I/O speed tests demonstrated a rising trend over three runs, from an initial speed of 368 MB/s to a peak of 513 MB/s, averaging a respectable 432.0 MB/s. These enhanced speeds suggest that the server has optimal read and write operations.
Notably, the tested locations spanned from Los Angeles and Dallas in the United States, through Montreal in Canada, Paris in France, and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, to Asian cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Singapore, and Tokyo. The latency speed remained relatively low, from 0.47 ms to 174.99 ms, indicating excellent response times globally.
The fio Disk Speed Tests demonstrated competent read and write speeds, particularly for larger block sizes. The speed reached a staggering 1.61 GB/s for 1m block reading and writing operations. However, it should be noted that the GB4 test could not be completed due to low memory. It suggests there might be a requirement for additional memory or an upgrade to a higher compatibility system for intense workloads.
Turning to CPU performance, the UnixBench test displayed strong results, with Dhrystone and Whetstone’s tests showing exceptionally high indices, 1767.7 and 788.1, respectively. These results indicate a somewhat robust CPU performance.
The VPSie Shared vCPU Server in Los Angeles delivers a noteworthy performance overall. Its I/O speeds are strong for read/write operations, and its global connectivity is consistent worldwide with minimal latency. Disk speed tests demonstrate competent performance, although more memory might be needed to handle heavier workloads.
The CPU efficiency was reassuring, displaying versatility for various tasks without a significant compromise in throughput, even under heavy loads. However, a server with greater memory capacity may be needed for more intensive tasks.
