a lesson: learn to buy the right VPS
This BF I bought dozens of VPS, they are almost useless, due to very poor performance.
So I have got a lesson, don't be cheated by price, what you paid, what you got.
I hope everyone can choose the right VPS for your requirement.
Should not be like me, buying the useless products, wastes money.
I wrote a note for this lesson, if you can read Chinese, could take a look:

Merry Christmas!
Live and Learn.
Hope many more will be more judicious in the future sales (in reality, probably not)
dont buy blindly. select the good provider.
tl;dr
Virmach:
Very bad I/O
Very bad cpu
Bad network (to everywhere..?)
Pacificrack:
Very bad I/O
Bad cpu
Unstable network (to china..?)
Naranja:
All good
Don't get ripped off, servers that are unusable are a waste of money. Before you buy, check out reviews on hostloc, LET etc. OP is going to idle the servers and let them expire next year.
Just to add on, there are many good deals with amazing performance for the price. But I'm always somewhat concerned that they will be gone in 1-2 years. It actually is possible to get cheap, fast and good on LET, but always be ready for the business to vanish at any time.
I continue renewing servers from virmach because the specs on paper seem amazing for the price I pay, which allows me to idle servers on the cheap
Rule #1: Buy what you need, not what you want
if io is determined by hardware/hd, it is constant.
if io is determined by manual adjustment, then io can vary accordingly.

I feel offended because this hit me hard
This is an English site. Please keep that in mind.
Did you just benchmark or did you actually try your intended app on it and it failed?
Benchmarks aren't all that and are just one thing to use to measure performance. It's really to help confirm whether you're having problems. For me, the best torrenting server I have has lowest GB5 score out of over a dozen. It doesn't have the worst network (it's great), but despite several other servers with 10Gbps speeds being excellent and multiple times faster, it doesn't matter if it's not actually faster in practice.
Share to me please.
This is why people should do two things before buying a VPS:
Liteserver = everything perfect
The good thing is you realised and learned from it, so many other people can benefit from kind providers here.
not sure what you were expecting out of a virmach BF special.
pls share with us your purchase story this season.
I am not so familiar with policy here. can I resell my unused VMs to other members on LET by making a post? thanks
That's usually fine as long as it is not a bug promo / free stuff / resell at a significant higher price than the actual price.

Here comes @VirMach 's 5,000-word response...
When buying a VPS, get the details of the host server if possible and check if they are being oversold. Do not go for a HDD instead of SSD thinking you are getting more space at a cheaper price as The performance will suffer even if you have a good CPU and plenty of RAM. Many hosting providers oversell disk space and so it is also recommended to ask the host how much disk i/o they guarantee.
words of gold, always remember this. best advice you can have now.
"今年黑五期间，我空虚寂寞加手贱"
feeling lonely, emptiness and being simply a moron during BF
bro, its now christmas and new year and CNY to come
be strong bro @jpeng , be strong
Btw, reviewing @naranjatech so highly soon MJJ will swarm to conquer naranja tech...
i do hope they will tighten their identity check from now on...
Another lesson: people never learn from their past.
@jpeng
Well, at least in part the bad performance of your new BF VPS might be due to almost everyone "stress testing" and benchmarking their new VPS.
If you like the provider and think they do a decent job, participate in the forum and generally don't suck - buy a yearly from them to support them and have a vps to tinker with. However, if its for production- go to one of the hourly providers or monthly providers where your risks are mitigated - and it allows you to jump ship on the early signs of stupidity.
Buying multiple VPS from a provider on here may not be wise, even if they are the golden boy for the site owner or one of CC's favorite. Things change
I have finished reading your article. The performance of the Dutch VPS you praised is very similar to a Dutch VPS-Clouveo I bought some time ago. It is about $6.7, which is my first prize in Black Friday.
Looks good.
Thanks for your warm words.
They are just a few days away from running OpenVZ 6 in 2021
Following the spirit of this thread, another hidden factor of VPS purchases is node maintenance. Providers need to strike a good balance between uptime/‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ and security. Even with KVM I don’t want the node to be full of holes
I disagree with disk & cpu being very bad and network being bad. Network and disk performance is pretty good, also CPU is a little weak, but acceptable for the price range..
This is my BF2020 in LA for $4.95/yr.
and this is BF2018 in Amsterdam for $10/yr.
I just wanna point out that I was translating what op had in his report. It doesn't reflect my opinions, and I agree it is acceptable for what you pay.
