Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test:
---------------------------------
Test            | Value
                |
Single Core     | 952
Multi Core      | 1740
Full Test       | https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/4072324

I installed Windows Server 2022 on it and tested for common use cases

Windows Idle test
The cpu utilization was below 2% and it indicates powerful vCore that is not oversold.

Windows RDP test with standard browsing
I connected from 2k monitor (2560x1440) and usage was pretty smooth.

Windows YouTube 720p test
Video display over RDP was pretty smooth

Windows YouTube 1080p test
Video display over RDP was pretty smooth. Here most of the VPS (under $5/month) fail

Windows YouTube 1440p test
Video display over RDP was decent (but not very smooth). But it is still much better than expected from 2 vCore VPS

SQL Server Developer Version
Installed and performed SQL queries. Worked great.

PyCharm for Python coding
worked great and tested with telegram bot

Overall great working VPS with excellent support for Windows RDP
the cost was less than $30 per year

Highly Recommended

    No problem.
    I got the VPS in Sep 2023, I took little time before writing the review.

    @Hosteroid
    Here as soon as windows programs are closed and idle state, the cpu utilization is around 2% even on RDP session

    Thank you @dev_vps !

    Its really nice of clients to write positive reviews as with just one problem some clients will rush to write a negative review, but getting a positive review in public is not easy, unless the client is really happy and believes that he/she should appreciate the provider they won't write it.

    Criticising is very easy, but appreciating somebody for the good they offer is really cool

    Kudos to @dev_vps for taking out time to write a public review and @Hosteroid for providing such services ...

    I have said it many times, your VDS with one dedicated core is among the best value/performance VPS on LET.

    It is hard to beat dedicated core, as I do not need to worry about exceeding allocated average cpu utilization (that is mostly around 25 to 35%)

  • Having said that with budget of around $20 per year, @Hosteroid VPS is the best value

    All depends on the use cases and budget

    Thanked by 1Hosteroid
  • I'm not yet a Hosteroid customer, but based on @dev_vps 's review , it's a great VPS for idling use cases.

    Yeah I appreciate it and I really appreciate it when clients write positive reviews even of my competitors as it's really difficult to get these positive reviews from most of the clients, does not matter how good the services are, but most of the clients won't post positive reviews, and I don't blame the clients for that as they are just getting the service they are paying for, but it feels good when somebody appreciates it and of course it is good for business and also help other users in the community to choose the right provider

    And for causal Windows RDP
    SQL Server or PostgreSQL database server
    Python coding
    Telegram bot
    Bogging site

    and many more use cases

    Try doing this on any other VPS (under $20 per year)
    Windows RDP session from 2k monitor

    Going to order a second one after this review. Didn't realize it could run Windows - this may just be my first Windows VPS.

    @Hosteroid is the nvme raided by chance or a single nvme drive?

  • How long has this provider been in business?
