99Stack India Bangalore Intel Xeon Processor Standard Instance Test and Review
Let’s look at the 99Stack India Bangalore Basic VPS Hosting. It’s got a robust setup with an Intel Xeon processor, 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of memory, 80 GB of SSD storage, a fast 1 Gbps network connection, and 3 TB of data transfer allowance. Plus, both IPv4 and IPv6 address.
For our review, we ran a bunch of tests. We used benchmarking tools like Yabs and Unix Benchmark to see how well it performs. Then, we checked out the server’s connection to the rest of the world with the Global Node Test and timed how long it took to respond with the Global Ping Test.
We also ran the Media Unlock Test to see if you can access content from different regions, and we tested the internet link with the Cloudflare Internet Test. To top it off, we checked website speed with tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.

Conclusion
Our first looked at input/output (I/O) performance and found it average at an impressive 1.2 GB/s, which means it’s very quick at reading and writing data. Network strength was another win, with the server showing high upload and download speeds at most locations worldwide. However, it hit a few snags, with a notably slow connection in Hong Kong. The Yabs test revealed superb disk performance, cranking out read/write speeds of around 1 GB/s for smaller blocks and soaring up to around 3.8 GB/s for larger ones.
CPU strength didn’t lag either. The Geekbench test yielded high scores for single and multiple cores, indicating that this server can handle multiple tasks smoothly. We also put the UnixBench test to work, which confirmed the solid CPU performance with high index scores across the board. Running multiple tests simultaneously showed the server’s capability to maintain strong performance under load.
In conclusion, the 99Stack India Bangalore Basic VPS Hosting stands out for anyone needing a robust, high-speed hosting solution. With exceptional speeds, ample data allowance, and strong CPU performance, it’s well-suited for businesses of all sizes, especially those focusing on the Indian market. While most global connections are strong, keep in mind the slower speeds in specific regions like Hong Kong. But overall, this hosting package offers a competitive edge with impressive performance outcomes.
