EthernetServers.com review
I bought their 4 core, 1 TB bandwidth, 1 GB RAM residing at Buffalo and costed $12/year, which is very cheap and however I shouldn't be complaining of what they're offering.
The good thing is, there's no downtime till date.
But, I am a bit frustrated for the following issues:
- SSH key strokes are slow as the server resides in the moon.
yum installtakes ageshtoptakes at least 5 seconds to openvitakes 6+ seconds to openlstakes 1 second (feels like)- Bandwidth is 1 TB but access from Asia is ~500 KB/s
- Ping to 8.8.8.8 is 100+ms
- Recently I've installed Apache and MySql, memory is stuck at 100~200MB but the swap is increasing, currently at 400MB. (
vmstatsays 0 in si/so) - Apache response time is fairly slow.
I am not complaining, is this fair & acceptable for $12/year?

I contacted their customer service, however they replied back in 3 hours saying, it shouldn't be like that and things are fine from their end. They'll look into it. Then, closed the ticket.

Unless they were advertising in a way like "the numbers are like that but we're overselling as f*ck so in reality you get an 6.25% share of a refurbished Atari", yes, you should complain.
freevps is not really a benchmark it does not do actual reliable tests
Yeah, I think that as well. It just gives network and some IO figures. I just call it bechmark like other people do :P
That's not so much right for their QN location. I've the same plan with no complaints.
Probably has a lot to do with it, maybe post a tracert or mtr from you to the VPS?
It can also run Geekbench for you.
https://github.com/hidden-refuge/bench-sh-2
Will run the tests as above in your results + Geekbench.
I also planned to include IOPing tests for extended disk testing but I had to ditch it due to various compatibility issues with different Linux distributions and et cetera. bench.sh-2 is meant to be simply and not a huge thing like Serverbear.
Same here, I had one in Buffalo and when I do :~$ ssh [email protected] -p xxxx it takes 5 seconds before I see [email protected]'s password: I requested to be moved to LA and it was the same, so I turned off that vps and forgot about it.
You chose their Buffalo location?
Hahahahahahahahahaha, should have taken Miami/Los Angeles,
Edit: Well, I got placed on a newer node, Electronic, so yeah
Be happy. I still have 2 VPSes with them paid for the next (sad voice) 2 years; the worst part is that they're both on Ska.
Other VPSs I've tried have different and better experience. Buffalo and Asia isn't that far away in terms of light traveling :P
Thats' interesting. Can you describe a bit more?
I've a plan in their Los Angeles, Quadranet location & I've no issues at all.
Not sure.
I'll raise a ticket and see how they respond.
I have been using their LA location and happy with the performace. There was only a single downtime for 5 minutes other than that service is good.
@mandark
are you still having the same problem?
Is the server still sluggish?
anyone one LA node can do server bear benchmark?
they look like too good to be true for that price.
Here we goes:
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2016/01/10/qV9gBDSPftv0noyR
look not bad for score, but the Disk I/O have very low performance.
are you on HDD or SSD cached?
That's HDD.
You've killed me, even twice! ;-)
They migrated my VPS servers without hassle, just open a ticket.
You are lucky! My results are much worse (especially CPU) http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2016/01/10/NDnznaKEwI2ukWQ0
Same here, they didn't have a problem when I asked to be migrated.
I've got my NY VPS migrated to LA but it didn't help at all and having almost the same performance, sluggish and slow. Looks like it's an old atari after all.
I'd be happy with the old Atari. I ordered a 2nd VPS (got ahead and laugh) Saturday night and I'm still waiting for it to be provisioned. I got an answer to my ticket from Sunday morning Monday morning at 3 am saying it would be ready momentarily. But I'm still wainting....sigh......

Hello.
I bought the same plan.
I have the same issue.
I opened a ticket and a staff replied saying, "I'm currently working on resolving this issue".
But the issue hasn't be solved yet.
The staff is repeating the same phrase for more than a month every time I ask the improvement.
Can I expect the issue is solved?
lol... everyone enjoy their 'exclusives.'
