Massive list of benchmarks anyone?
Got bored and decided to run the standard "freevps" bench.sh and got admitedly normal results.

I'm overall pretty impressed (which doesn't say much) with my choices in companies.

What do your VMs look like?
Comments
RamNode VPS (SSD-Cached)
Kimsufi i3 Dedicated
Yourserver.se SSD VPS
i-83.net $8 yearly IPv6 VPS
Kimsufi Atom Dedicated (KS2)
LowEndSpirit Italy Location
CloudShards Cali Location
Will add more when I can. BlueVM is taking a long time to complete.
We should have a lowendbench.com
A few got posted here... http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/26933/presenting-the-low-end-talk-benchoff
we have serverbear
@iKeyZ
What are you doing with your i-83 vps?
Currently using it as one of my ping monitor locations.
Do you have a custom script for that or are you using something else?
Yes, I use a custom one made by myself.
Feel free to PM me for more details if you'd like.
You know these benches are useless, right? You need to get several tests over the exact or rather spread out points of time and try and find the average. Even the worlds worst node can have a good 45s just when you happen to run a test.
This can't be repeated enough. A single VPS benchmark is NOT an accurate indicator of whether your VPS has a good general performance.
Benchmarks are only relevant when they are regularly done over a certain period of time - at the very least one month -, or, to a lesser extent, when they show extremely abnormal speeds (e.g. 0.5Mbps HDD I/O, or X Kbps network speeds).
Those single benchmarks being irrelevant and useless is one thing, but you raping the host node because you run them is another thing - not only is it rude, but it also impacts other people.
Think twice before running benchmarks. If you need a list of server benchmarks, have a look at PetaByet and ServerBear.
@iKeyZ
Is your i3 Kimsufi at BHS? looks pretty good.
It is, yes.
might just cancel my i3 at RBX5 and get one at BHS.
