ClawCloud cheap 1vCore, 1 GB VPS and 2 vCore, 4 GB VDS benchmark & review

edited January 4 in Reviews

@CLAWCLOUD kindly provided access to the cheap 1 vCore, 1 GB mem. VPS as well as to the 2 vCores, 4 GB mem. VDS to me. Both are quite performant and I could complete > 50 runs within just 1.5 days and now tell you about what I experienced and saw.

Let me begin with one very positive and one negative news: the good one is that (I've been told) CC will support payment via PayPal very soon (early this year). Until then though payment is only possible via credit card or 2 chinese gateways (Ali-something), which might be quite unattractive for many western potential customers - but hey, PayPal will soon be available!
The bad news is that CC does not support ISOs but only a couple of linux distros (the usual ones) and IIRC neither Windows (Update/correction: they do offer Windows VDS but with a heavy "Windows tax"). Which obviously is a major disappointment for [some]BSD users as well as those who prefer some less common linux distro, meeh! And no, CC does not seem to have concrete plans, let alone a ETA to improve on that.
I had to put this front-up because it also explains why this benchmark was running on debian 12 rather than on FreeBSD, so take the disk performance numbers with a grain of salt (because linux is caching aggressively and making numbers look better).

Btw, another very, even extremely negative point that must be mentioned: I innocently opened a high prio ticket to ask them to please mount a FreeBSD ISO for me - I didn't get any reaction at all for over 24 hrs (at which point I stopped even looking for a response). That is absolutely not acceptable and makes CC look really bad, in particular as they are a new provider here.

Now to the benchmark, beginning with the small VPS, first as usual processor and memory.

I like what I see there and the platinum scalable (Xeon), which largely boils down to "many cores", shows that one can get Epyc like performance, incl. with decent crypto hardware support. Spread is within normal limits; they obviously put plenty VPS on such an expensive processor but they don't overdo it.

Hmm, looks like SAS12 SSDs. The performance is not bad at all, but neither is it NVMe-like. 16 MB/s in 4k/4t and a bit over 4k IOps is nothing to write home about but neither is it badly slow.
My take is that for a cheap VPS that performance is really OK, certainly not a speed daemon to put a DB on but certainly good enough for most jobs LET users buy a cheap VPS for.

Finally the network/connectivity

Yay, what a nice surprise! Those cheap VPS come (iirc) with a 200 Mb/s limit and they actually meet that spec and in fact even surpass it quite a few times. Nice! Even Istanbul (TR) and Moscow (RU) achieve about 200 Mb/s. Even Isfahan (IR), a known to be difficult to reach target achieves a very respectable 150+Mb/s and so does Mumbai (IN). Singapore a bit over and Hongkong (ĆN) a bit under 100 Mb/s also is uncommonly good. And Tokyo (JP) and Ozzyland (Melbourne) achieving about 70 Mb/s is very respectable as well. And even a target in Africa with a bit over 150 Mb/s!

I'm really impressed by those connectivity results!

TL;DR The disk is OK for a cheap VPS, the processor is almost too good for such a cheap VPS, and the connectivity borders miracle-land.
Strongly recommended on two conditions:

  • (1) you get it at promo (super low) price
  • (2) 1 Vcore, 1 GB mem. and a definitely not NVMe (but decent) SSD is good enough for you

For the normal (not promo) price I'd still recommend it if condition 2 is met -and- you absolutely need very good connectivity, especially to Asia.

    Pardon me, single core performance lower than the cheapie VPS and multi-core far below expectations and merely 50 or 60 MB/s more than single core?
    On a VDS?
    I'll generously assume that CC just has some early config hiccup, because if that really is what you get as a 2 vCore VDS then thanks no!

    Yay, now we're talking! All european targets above 400 Mb/s - including even Istanbul (TR) and Moscow (RU) - most in fact even about 500 Mb/s and a few even above 1 Gb/s, DE, FRA even achieving almost 7 Gb/s, but thats within DE, FRA.
    Iran and India above 150 Mb/s but strangely far east Asia (SGP and east of it) a bit worse than with the cheap VPS. Me surprised because the benchmakr runs happened at the same time (in parallel). Weird. But hey, still decent results.
    The Americas otoh performed similarly or even somewhat better.

    Summary

    Unless you absolutely need very good connectivity within the VDS's region, not recommended, because the disk performance is roughly equal to that of the cheap VPS, the processor & mem. perform only slightly better. As VDS tend to be considerably more expensive than VPS you'll have way better bang per buck buying a VPS with more vCores and/or memory.

    CloudClaw clearly should work both on their VDS and their product/price ranking.

    TL;DR

    The cheap VPS - which is really nice - with a 60% promo rebate costs about $17 per year, the VDS which, besides better regional connectivity, is only slightly more powerful however with the same 60% promo rebate costs about $67/yr - and you do not really get much more for the $50(!) difference and highly likely would be better off buying 3 additional cheapies.
    Also note the rather low traffic volume! In Asia that may make sense but in Europe and NA it just makes the products look less attractive, sorry.

    Yes, the response speed of support tickets is crucial! It's been three days since my last communication with ClowCloud regarding my high - priority support ticket, and I still haven't received a reply.

    Please expect two weeks or longer. I don't know why, but they are just that slow.

    Thanks, but I'd prefer to get an official answer from @CLAWCLOUD.

    This special introductory price is available for the first year only. Afterward, renewals will be at the standard rate. Details of future renewal offers for existing customers are still to be determined. <3

    Will current customers be able to get one? And is it a limited quantity or flash deal?

    Also: what's the difference between the new Cloud-VDS and China Optimized ones with your current offering of Dedicated VPS?

    1.Yes, each user can get one, regardless of whether they are already a CLAWCLOUD customer.

    2.Both series deliver outstanding performance, with the main difference being in their network routes.
    The China-optimized series is specially tailored for accessing China, offering faster connection speeds and reliable performance with no packet loss, ensuring a smooth experience even during peak times.

  • hi @CLAWCLOUD can you confirm partnership/relationship with alibaba?

    are you using their compute products or only network transit?

  • Btw, another very, even extremely negative point that must be mentioned: I innocently opened a high prio ticket to ask them to please mount a FreeBSD ISO for me - I didn't get any reaction at all for over 24 hrs (at which point I stopped even looking for a response). That is absolutely not acceptable and makes CC look really bad, in particular as they are a new provider here.

    You opened a high priority ticket for that? I would have ignored it as well

    Well, being able to install an OS IS high priority. And I meanwhile just so happen to know that their ignorance had an entirely different reason, not in any way linked specifically to this ticket.

    Forget performance. I want to try it. Where is the link?
