AdvancedHosting USA Ashburn Intel Xeon Gold 6238R Cloud Start Server Test and Review
This review focuses on the AdvancedHosting Public Cloud Server, which is prominently located in Ashburn, United States. Powering this server is the Intel® Xeon® Gold 6238R CPU operating at 2.20GHz. The server’s specifications are impressive: it boasts 2 CPU cores, 4GB of RAM, 40GB of SSD storage, a 1Gbps Internet Port, and 5TB of traffic.
Our evaluation uses multilayered testing to ensure accuracy and comprehensiveness. Initial tests consist of the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark to measure key performance metrics. Following this, we implement the Global Node Test for a wide-ranging network appraisal and the Global Ping Test to measure latency accurately.
We further test for regional accessibility via the Media Unlock Test, ensuring the server’s performance isn’t geographically restricted. To check the connection quality, we ran the CloudFlare Internet Test. Additionally, we evaluate web performance through tools such as PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance Suite.

Conclusion
The initial benchmarking showcased a notable I/O speed; the average was 318.4 MB/s over three tests. Subsequent tests tracked upload and download speeds from various world locations, ranging from highly impressive figures in US locations to relatively lower speeds in areas like Nanjing and Hongkong, CN.
Next, the Yabs Performance Bench, furnishing an understanding of mixed read and write operation speeds, demonstrated significant strengths of the server, with strikingly high IOPS values at different block sizes. The Geekbench 6 benchmark test, gauging the single and multi-core performance, presented results of 840 and 1516, respectively (Full test link: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/2682991).
The last assessment was conducted using UnixBench, emitting two separate scores following individual and concurrent tests on the dual-CPU system. The values varied from high to low across sub-tests, but the comprehensive index score settled at a respectable 1331.9 for a single copy of tests and an even higher 2105.8 for parallel copies. The Dhrystone 2 and Double-Precision Whetstone benchmark tests presented highly commendable results that spoke volumes about the server’s computational prowess.
In conclusion, the AdvancedHosting Public Cloud Server elbow through the benchmarks exhibiting formidable might. The striking prowess in computational capabilities and impressive I/O speeds—combined with robust SSD storage, high traffic capacity, and unwavering RAM performance—position it as a favorable server deserving of consideration by those seeking to deploy data-intensive applications, high-performance computing, or extensive network operations.
