Review: SSDVM.Net FREE VPS — Quick Plan
Thanks @ssdvm. He offered 10 free VPS for life last week and I was so lucky to get one.
The detail of the plan:
[»]Name: Quick
[»]Disk: 10GB
[»]Bandwidth: 1000GB
[»]Dedicated Memory: 512MB
[»]Burstable Memory(vSwap): 1024MB
[»]CPU Share: Equal Share
[»]IP Address: 1
[»]Price :6.96$ using Promo Code (LET10)
[»]7 Days Money Back Guarantee
[»]24/7 support
I have ever contacted them by ticket about the ipv6 and location. Their supporting is nice and reply me quickly.
“Thank you for contacting us,
Unfortunately at the moment we don’t offer/support IPv6, however this is something that we will be adding in the near future.
And yes all our current nodes are from OVH.”
I have also queried the IP address and got its location is in France. Hope that they will support the ipv6 soon.
Now let me show the testing about the server.

Actually I have never used a server with the I5 CPU, this is so nice.

Perfect. I have to say so.
indeed. that's why we call it SSD..
Last week @ssdvm list the same offer here. But deleted by chief(?) in seconds.
Ah.. that offer. I just remember it wasn't available anymore.
I can vouch that this is a very good vps.
So far so good just i don't have time playing with it yet.
Indeed.. Dima (the owner?), also is a good and helpful guy.
No offense but 74.1 MB/s from ssd? SATA ON raid10 does better than that.
Look at the test above it, compare size and command. Almost missed it too
dsync
Oops.
Dear airski, thank you very much for taking the time to make this review, it is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again and always feel free to open a support ticket if you need anything.
I too was lucky to receive one 512MB free vps...very fast and working great... thanks @ssdvm..

This is currently the fastest CPU among all VPSes/servers that I have.
Thanks again and always feel free to open a support ticket if you need anything.
My pleasure.
Yes, it is.
If its location is in US, i will build a site.
But France...
@ssdvm. Thank you for the free 512mb openvz vps.
Here's the vps stats running LAMP+webmin+freeradius+openvpn: with SB script
1) CPUINFO:
2) Diskpace:
3) Memory:
4)DD test:1Mx1k dsync 64kx16k dsync 1Mx1k fdatasync and 64kx16k fdatasync
5) Network Speedtest:
6)Unixbench Result:
Once again, thank you @ssdvm for the wonderful vps. This is a really good vps, nuff said.
Nice script! Can you share it with me?
They've actually tried a few & have failed. We're having issues with CentOS 5 at the moment, should be fixed soon.
@cosmicgate Did you get it running fine in the end?
Nice script! Can you share it with me?
like serverbear said, drop a serverbear on it! https://github.com/Crowd9/Benchmark
Not really. For some reason:
traceroute didn't work (but that's because i removed it)
Unixbench didn't run and I had to run it manually.
It didn't send the report to my email.
Weird, you using a weird distro? Minimal Debian maybe? PM me any details just so I can raise I ticket to get looked at.
What is sleekvps?
let me google that for you
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=What+is+sleekvps?
SleekVPS.com is just a domain name that we own.
