IPServerOne Singapore General Cloud Instance Hosting Test and Reviews
Today’s focus is on the Singapore General Cloud Instance administered by IPServerOne. Powered by a potent AMD EPYC Processor, this server’s striking features encompass 2 CPU Cores, 7.5GB RAM, and 50GB SSD storage. Its internet speed clocks in at an admirable 150 Mbit/s. It also allows 1TB of traffic per billing cycle and offers IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Our comprehensive review involves a set of meticulously designed tests: the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark, which provide vital performance metrics. Additionally, we carry out the Global Node Test, an extensive network assessment tool, and the Global Ping Test for precise latency measurements.
We also administer the Media Unlock Test to gauge regional accessibility and the CloudFlare Internet Test to evaluate connection quality. Web performance is further scrutinized through tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance. Through these thorough evaluations, we can give you an in-depth understanding of the server’s overall performance capabilities.

Conclusion
The server displayed consistent I/O speeds in the Basic Bench test, averaging 741.0 MB/s over three runs. The network speed tests showed impressive upload and download speeds with particularly low latency in closer regions like Singapore. The significant drop in network performance in Nanjing is worth noticing even though it demonstrates the least latency in Hong Kong and Singapore. It completed these tests in just over 5 minutes.
The Yabs Performance Bench conducted mixed R/W tests on block sizes. It revealed solid performance, with 4k and 64k blocks displaying about 88.4 MB/s and 716.56 MB/s read speed, respectively. For larger blocks of 512k and 1m, the read speeds were impressive at 663.70 MB/s and 644.92 MB/s, respectively. All in all, the server handled different block sizes exceptionally well in both read and write operations.
In the Geekbench 6 Benchmark test, the server scored 1830 for single-core and 3340 for multi-core operations, marking its exceptional ability to handle intensive workloads. The UnixBench reported a high CPU Performance score of 2088.0 for one parallel copy of tests and an even stronger performance of 3076.9 when running two parallel tests, indicating its great performance in multi-core operations.
In conclusion, the IPServerOne Singapore General Cloud Instance presents a commendable server option with powerful features and promising performance metrics. It showcases fast I/O speeds, remarkable network performance, and excellent read-write operations across varied block sizes.
