RIYAD multi-location benchmarks and reviews

jsgjsg Member, Resident Benchmarker
edited June 14 in Reviews

I'll start with a somewhat critical remark: I didn't want to look at and benchmark the current @RIYAD promo because it looks so desirable, but because, at least to me, it looks not at all tasty due to the still high prices. So I wondered what kind of miraculous wonder ice cream they sell and asked them whether they'd provide me with access for benchmarking. And they did, without any hesitation and even very generously as in no "72 hrs max." or similar condition and even with six locations!

Thank you for that, RIYAD and kudos, you seem to have big balls!

Which locations? Well, read on and see ... btw, all reviews are based on 45+ benchmark runs.

I'll start with the PL location:

Wow! Just wow! One of the best results I ever saw. And yes, the flags also are there, no AVX2 though.

Let's see if the disk also has excellent performance ...

Yay! Not the best NVMe I ever tested IIRC but certainly among the best and quite close to the best.
Impressive. But even more impressive: the very low spread. Their worst spread is better than many VPS's I've benchmarked best spread! Say "business class" without saying "business class"!

So, let's see how the connectivity is. Considering what I saw so far as well as the quite central location (in Europe), my expectations are high.

As usual split into continents/regions.

Europe - Slightly half-cooked, not so much because a few secondary targets failed and, albeit very few, primary ones too, but mainly because I don't see a single Gb/s number or close to that. Plus the weird IT or FR result with Paris achieving only a bit under 250 Mb/s but Italy slightly over 400 Mb/s.
All in all decent to good connectivity but clearly not up to par with the the outstanding processor, memory, and disk results.

Asia / Oceania - I'll start with the positive: almost all secondary targets were reached, including all Iran and Ozzyland targets. Otherwise OK, within the normal range but nothing to write home about.

Africa - quite good actually.

America - besides the usual (in that region) half-cooked, decent results, not great but decent to the east coast and even to Chicago, but (not at all uncommon) mediocre results to the west coast

TL;DR/verdict: If your use case requires really high performance and a really fast NVMe but connectivity doesn't need to be particularly high, especially outside of Europe, this VPS is a good choice. I personally (caveat, I'm very Europe-centric) would not hesitate to use this VPS e.g. for a seriously dynamic and DB driven site.

    Slightly worse than the PL VPS, but frankly, clearly in "your car 'only' goes 250 km/h while mine goes 265 km/h" terrain that is, basically irrelevant, except maybe for very few extreme cases. I'm perfectly fine with what I see and call it excellent.

    Now, to the disk.

    IOps : avg 7743.20 - min 7498.19 (96.8%), max 7989.22 (103.2%)

    Here the difference is significant and this one is, while still really good, clearly significantly less performant than the PL VPS. The spread is similarly low though.

    Maybe connectivity can compensate?

    Sorry, no it can't. In fact I couldn't even measure it, but that's not @RIYAD's fault but due to an obviously incompetently configured - by the DC! - firewall/DDOS protection system. Those idiots obviously follow the rule "someone with chopped off legs can't kick you". What a bunch of clueless imbeciles. Frankly, RIYAD should look for another DC, a professional one ...

    TL;DR/verdict: Assuming it costs the same as the other VPS I'd clearly take one of those.

    YAY! Again an oustanding and excellent result, just a bee stick slower than the PL VPS, a difference which IMO can be ignored.
    Very nice indeed!

    Yay again! A bit slower than the PL disk but who cares when you get about 40 MB/s and about 10k IOps?

    So, lets look at the connectivity.

    As usual split into continents/regions.

    Europe - While I would expect at least a few Gb/s numbers in the close-by region from a VPS in that price class, over 500 Mb/s to NO is a decent start.
    And about or over 250 Mb/s to at least all of western Europe is decent as well, although the ES target as well as a couple of secondary targets failed.
    But Moscow achieving even over 600 Mb/s not only is comforting but actually breaks the record held by the LT VPS of @Hosteroid so far. Nice!

    Asia / Oceania - The results are similar to the PL ones, often a bee stick faster, except for Ozzyland which achieved significantly worse results.
    Oh, and almost all secondary targets not only were reached but most also achieved results very similar to the primary one.

    Africa - Good, very similar to the PL results.

    America - Slightly worse (than the PL results) on the east coast, very similar on the west coast.

    TL;DR/Verdict: Basically the same as for the PL VPS but I personally would prefer this one as I don't care about somewhat better or worse processor, memory or disk performance at the highest end but I do care for really good connectivity to Russia. But of course YMMV and the PL VPS might be the more attractive one for you.
    But, at least in my view, the real (inhouse) competitor isn't the PL VPS but the NO VPS.

    So, let's look at the NO VPS ...

    So I won't even mention slight differences, the result anyway is "Yay! Very, very nice indeed!"

    Maybe the disk performance is not that similar, let's look.

    Nuh, again boring in a luxurious way *g
    Why would I even look at and discuss minor to tiny differences with an NVMe north of 10k IOps ...

    Rather let's look at the really interesting factor, connectivity. Will it be even better than the FI VPS?

    As usual split into continents/regions.

    Europe - Yessir! Very solidly above 5 Gb/s to close by targets (the secondary NO target achieved better than 1 Gb/s as well). Although, actually that super-target seems to be very, very close by as in "in the same DC" which it seems, being the terrahost/@gigahost DC is a big, big plus by itself!
    I won't go through all the targets and compare the numbers but rather simply tell you my impression: this in my eyes is the most attractive of the bunch so far, modulo the Moscow target being in normal terrain again.
    All in all I'm enchanted by this VPS.

    Asia / Oceania - First, again almost all secondary targets reached with similar results (to the primary one). All in all the numbers are similar to the FI VPS with a slight tendency towards a bit better and a few ones slightly worse. Ozzyland however is significantly better on this NO VPS.

    Africa - Good again.

    America - Within the same ballpark but a bit better than both the PL and the FI VPS. All in all quite nice results.

    TL;DR/Verdict: Basically a slightly better mix of my PL and my FI verdict. So far this is the one I'd pick. Really nice.

    Hmm, another VPS that's significantly less performant than the best ones (wrt. processor and memory). That said those results still blow all E5v4, most (or even all?) Xeon Scalable and most Epyc based VPSs out of the water. So, yes, slower than the best but still damn fast enough.

    And the disk, does it keep up with the others?

    Hmmm, nope, not quite; significantly below both 40MB/s and 10 k IOps. That said, still a disk good enough for most tasks, even more demanding ones.

    For connectivity I expect something very similar but maybe slightly better across the ocean. Let's see.

    As usual split into continents/regions.

    Europe - Yes, similar to the others so far, modulo a few extremes. What I noticed though is that with this VPS the FR/IT ratio makes much more sense. Also, while only few Gb/s results (plural, counting NL, AMS as close enough), all in all higher and more consistent results within Europe; only really far away targets like RU, MOS and RO achieve less than 300 - 400 Mb/s ... and still don't look bad. Nice! I like what I see.

    Asia / Oceania - Also kind of similar, although at the higher end of the spectrum and the best of the bunch with quite a few targets.

    Africa - Very good.

    America - Clearly the best of the bunch, probably not unexpected.

    TL;DR/Verdict: Really nice, but there is a 'but', namely the significantly weaker processor, memory, and disk performance. Now, granted, that won't be a live or die issue for 99% of use cases but still, it itches me. On the other hand, if you want decent or even very good connectivity globally this one clearly is the best compromise. As I personally don't care about global but only about European connectivity I'd clearly go with the NO VPS. But many want good global connectivity and for them this is the best choice I guess.

    Finally and à propos "global", how about a jump across the Atlantic and a closer look at he US (Dallas IIRC) VPS?

    As usual ...

    Nuh. Better than the weak ones in Europe but weaker than the really great ones. But still, at least close to 10k IOps isn't something to complain about. All in all certainly good enough for even most disk bound tasks.

    So, let's get to the question probably most of you are interested in: how good is the connectivity? After all, this VPS isn't on the east coast but in Texas AFAIk. Let's see.

    As usual split into continents/regions.

    Europe - Not surprisingly rather poor (from a european perspective). And no, way less than 100 Mb/s except for London and that only tightly doesn't cut it for a VPS in this class; I've seen significantly better VPS the other way around, not only from e.g. Leaseweb but also from @RIYAD.

    Asia / Oceania - More on the mediocre side too except for far east Asia where this VPS beats most (not asian) VPS I've tested and seen so far.

    Africa - normal, from America even decent I guess.

    America - That's where this box shines. Not only good to very good results but also consistently. In fact I'm not sure I ever saw consistently 250 Mb/s or better throughout whole Murrica.

    TL;DR/Verdict: I'd call it the Norway pendant in America. Everything that counts for at least most american customers modulo a less outstanding but still very decent disk plus very good connectivity within Murrica.


    Overall (all VPSs) verdict: You probably expect or at least want honesty from a benchmarker and reviewer - and that's what you get.

    Frankly, with their normal prices I wouldn't even look at @RIYAD's products. I'd just shrug, think "way too expensive especially for a not very well known and well reputed company", and click away. And even now, with their promo prices, I'd strongly suggest to adapt to the current market situation and prices.
    To put it bluntly, if they want to get more attention - and sales - here on LET I think they should make their -40% and -50% promo prices their standard prices and then make promos yet another 20% or so percent lower. I mean 1000 times $10 (pulled out of my ass number just for an example) is better than 50 times $30 or even $50 ...

    But OK, my task isn't to advise them and/or to increase their sales but to judge what they offer at the promo prices they have.
    Maybe I'm a cheap skate, I always see and have in mind the bang per buck ratio but I'm not sure that I'd buy one of those promo VPS, except maybe their 75% off 4 Ryzen vCores, 8 GB memory, 100 GB NVMe, 8 TB traffic volume and even then I'd insist on the NO location (and mention that I get far higher traffic volume from others like e.g. Leaseweb).
    Also: why, when I can get a really nice Leaseweb VPS via @HostDZire for way less $$?

    But be that as it may, if I'd get a RIYAD VPS from their current promo I'd see basically 3 options, (a) and my personal favourite, a NO VPS, (b) a UK VPS in case connectivity to Murrica as well as within a major part of Europe was my priority, and (c) their Dallas (IIRC) VPS mainly for its excellent connectivity within the country.

    But let's be reasonable, is "only" 30 MB and solidly below 10 k IOps really a problem, and should one only consider a VPS with top-class Ryzen performance, >= 40 MB/s and > 10 k IOps disk? I don't think so, even the less performant here still swim with the big fish.
    Finally a point probably underrated (or not even noticed) point: their spread is consistently low to very acceptable, which strongly suggests that those nodes are not densely packed, let alone oversold. In other words, you can expect stability and stable performance from the @RIYAD VPS, which, especially for businesses and for certain kinds of demanding use cases may well be worth to pay a higher price.

    Those VPS are relatively expensive even with promo pricing, but they certainly deserve a closer look and some pondering, especially for professional use cases.

    I'm done, all test VPS can be terminated/deleted.

    You are welcome and thanks a lot!

    In case you feel like it: I'd buy a NO VPS in case you offer me a really tasty special (and recurring, please) price ;)

    Friendly regards

    Thank you for your tests.
    But why not do a full yabs?

    Because I prefer to do a real benchmark.

    With no references to compare against, no way for people to reproduce the results, and no real world tests, it's useless waste of time.

    Which package are you interested in? Perhaps I can provide you with a special offer.
