Based on what? Based on your post it seems you're trying to be smart.
Because he clearly asked for a review:

VPSSLIM

How much storage would you need?

The cold storage is not storage VPS or VPS or dedicated server, therefore pointless to ask for benchmarks or CPU speed. I am not trying to be smart, simply read what the “cold storage” mean and how it works!

Yeah well it's not like FDC makes it clear. There is zero info on their site that explains what that means.

Ok again, it seems you lack the intelligence for figurative speech, when he refers to "cold storage", he's not refering to actual "cold storage", he''s simply referring to the name of a product line.
Things can take different meaning depending on the context, , in case you never learned this.

It's something every person in the world knows.

Also, unrelated, but your site says price match guarantee (https://www.web-project.co.uk/basic-vps-hosting)

Can you match this?

Yes you may store videos on the VPS and the Cold Storage plan is the cheapest one compared to other SSD plans.

The service quality is the same for all of our products, this storage plan is cheaper because it uses HDD instead of SSD and it has outgoing restrictions of 1Gbps only, since it's meant to store data NOT push data out of the server to the internet. Please acknowledge you understood the terms as described.
10Gbps Unmetered In + 1Gbps Unmetered Out

This VPS works in the exactly same way as all other VPS and dedicated servers, you would have to configure it properly in order for it to be functioning.

It can be fine if storage normal file? Please give me some advice.

It's basically just a VPS with 1TB of HDD space attached. From their description, you could do that, though it wouldn't give you the fastest speeds as it's a HDD.

Do you know how the price match works? Not just take random plan from cheap provider and ask to match it! It should be similar plans and include the same number of CPU, RAM, HDD, bandwidth, as we don’t do 1 core VPS plans.

You link for other hosting provider for unlimited core and at the same time is limited to one core, most stupid description ever:

https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=2
1 vCPU core Xeon E5-1620 v2

Unlimited CPU core 3.7GHz

Wow, true unlimited CPU core is new way to misleading customers!

To be the devil's advocate here, some providers limit power of vCores - i.e. you get a server with 2 vCores, but each is limited to 20% for example.

Is there an advantage over 1 vCore limited to 40%?

I think it is purely marketing, no real technical reason.

Well, I got another virmach box at:
2gb Ram
2x Cpu cores
50gb ssd
2tb bandwidth

it's very similar, only off by 50gb disk, exactly the same in every other sense, cpu cores are not "unlimited" either.
I'm paying 12$ yearly, it says price match guarantee on your site.
