My 3 month review of Hostodo

NobodyInteresting

Hello boys and girls.

So I have been using Hostodo for over 3 months now, and figured - let me post a review about it on LET, since I have been pretty satisfied with it, hopefully others will enjoy them as well. Plus I keep seeing people posting reviews, which usually help me out a lot in picking a good provider, so wanted to give back to the community.

Also, I am in no way, shape or form associated with them, just a happy customer.

I got me a KVM VPS in Las Vegas.

Here are the specs.

Specs

NVM-LVKVM-1024

1024MB RAM
12GB NVMe Disk Space
4TB Bandwidth
1 CPU Core
KVM Virtualization
Las Vegas, NV
$2.99/month

And for the ones interested in getting it (my advice - GET IT! lol), here is a (non-affiliated) link to this specific plan:

Now, the first thing that you all would ask for is a nice little bench.

As you can see - not bad at all, with network speeds peaking pretty well.

I am usually fairly interested in the network, so here is an iperf3 that I ran.

iperf3

IPv6:

iperf3 -6 -c iperf.he.net -P 8

[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  1.10 GBytes   946 Mbits/sec  3808             sender
[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  1.08 GBytes   927 Mbits/sec                  receiver

IPv4:

iperf3 -4 -c iperf.he.net -P 8

[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  1.11 GBytes   954 Mbits/sec  7633             sender
[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  1.09 GBytes   936 Mbits/sec                  receiver

Almost a full sustained gbps. Very neat.

Support
I did have a question for support, and they were super quick to reply. And not just that, but @Hassan was a very nice guy to talk to, knows his shit (pardon my french), and is quick to answer any questions that I had.

Bottom Line
I love it, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable VPS in the US. Plus - the price is great too :P Looking forward to using it for many more years.

Thats my review of Hostodo. Definitely a 5 star service.

Since I have a service with almost all providers here - I will try to produce one review each week. Very happy that Hostodo is my first review here.
Be safe!

Glad it helped! Even though this review is over an year old - it is still very much valid. Hostodo is a great provider, and I still have a few of their VMs.
