Review for HostCram - KVM-4G Plan
This is my review for VPS with KVM-4G plan
2 vCore

Initial observation -
1. The disk I/O are excellent ... better than any VPS I had so far (including Contabo VPS with NVMe disk).
2. The internet speeds are great as well
3. Most important, that is most special for any programmer, the best single core CPU performance for any VPS
Now, on the not-so-good part
1. OS Reinstall is done manually by @Shakib and his support team. This should be an automated process
2. Personally I feel that HostCram has started this on a high quality scale, maintaining excellent customer service while expanding the customer base and business, will be key factor and challenge.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the VPS performance. More benchmark tests for this VPS to follow in further posts.
Thanks for reading.

If you have questions about any benchmarks tests shared here, feel free to ask.
I have shared benchmark tests for this VPS, even before one free month offer was posted by @Shakib
Added as promised.
@dev_vps , Thank you for your review.
