TorchNode storage VPS
I recently came across torchnode, and wanted to give them a try. They acquired securesrv.io not too long ago, which didn't have the best reputation, but I've been curious about how they perform. They're sold off of an OVH dedi, which I don't have much of an issue with this as they seem to be pretty established and have plenty of good reviews. For only $3 USD/month, the deal promises 2gb 2133MHz DDR4 ECC, 256gb HDD in a RAID 10 array and 1 vCore of a Xeon-D 1541 @ 2.2GHz. They use QEMU virtualization, which is disappointing, but for this pricepoint is still pretty good. They're running a spring sale for 25% off on the first three billing periods, so I figured I'd give them a go. So far I've had a pretty good experience and have been having pretty good speeds. If anyone has some benchmarking scripts that they would like me to run, let me know.
