2 NB alternatives - Webhorizon & Greencloud benchmark & review

jsgjsg Member, Resident Benchmarker

I'm certainly not the only one who needed to find a replacement for NexusBytes's (now largely dead, it seems) VPS. So I was looking around and got myself a couple of (purchased normally) VPS from providers on LET with whom I had not yet any concrete experience and which are roughly in the ballpark of NB.
And then, of bloody course, I immediately went to benchmark them two full days around the clock ...

From Greencloudvps / @NDTN I first got a dirt cheap ($15/yr or $40/3yrs) basic VPS with 1 vCore (E5 v4), 2 GB mem., 20 GB SSD in UK and was very pleased with it, so much so that I right away purchased a "big" Budget KVM, also in UK and with 4 vCores (E5 v4), 8 GB mem and 60 GB SSD ($45/yr). It's that VPS benchmark results I show now and review. Based on 62 benchmark runs.

Mee, that's not a great result, that doesn't look like v4 but rather like v2 and not even a great v2 processor. Probably a mix of high occupancy and slow RAM. But then 8 GB of memory and 4 cores (with near perfect 4x single core performance, which is by no means usual, so multithreaded applications should run quite nicely on that VPS) for $45 per year still is a nice deal.

Now the disk which btw is a 60 GB SSD

Not bad at all for a really cheap VPS. Not really great but hey, this is a dirt cheap VPS and for that it's really nice especially when considering the not at all excessive spread. Not a disk to brag about but neither one to complain about, I'm fine with it.

BANG, surprise! And a very nice one. The three major european locations about or above 500 Mb/s and London even solidly above 1 Gb/s, yay! Somewhat weird IMO with e.g. IT, Mil far behind FR, Par and DE, Fra or US, Nyc with respectable 100+ Mb/s but US, Wdc just half of that, but still, all in all very nice connectivity, especially within Europe.

Oh, and their support is really, really great. Fast (as in "often just 5 or 10 minutes"), helpful and so far never offered me canned BS but to the point help.

    Now, on to Webhorizon

    This one is a "Ryzen beast system" and costs $25/yr.

    Again, first the sysinfo and proc/mem results based on a bit over 40 runs (side note, both VPS test runs started almost simultaneously but this VPS here got rebooted by WH, hence less runs although each one ran faster than on GC VPS).

    Of bloody course that ZEN processor is fasssst, but look at the AES and SSL keypairs numbers! That's significantly faster than any VPS I've seen so far. I'm very pleased with what I get out of a single vCore (hint: more than out of the 4 vCores VPS tested above ...).

    Now, the 60 GB NVMe

    Quite nice but a bit weird, e.g. FR, Par is faster than NL, Ams with a VPS located in NL?? Weird. But careful, while this VPS's connectivity might look poor at first sight when compared to the above GC VPS, I'm actually not that sure. Yes, the nice "porn spikes" (like 700+ Mb/s) are missing, but this VPS IMO actually looks more consistent and all around the world. If you need decent global connectivity, you'll probably be better off with this VPS.
    WH's support is good and relatively fast (I'd put it in the 1 - 6 hrs bucket which is quite good in the LE world)

    TL;DR, Summary of both:

    If your priority is a seriously fast and sexy processor, a screaming fast NVMe, decent (but not great) connectivity, the Webhorizon VPS clearly is the way to go.
    I personally however will gladly keep my WH VPS but prefer the GC ones, Two main reasons: (a) I'm almost exclusively focused on Europe (connectivity) and in case I need something in the Americas or in Asia I do have some (1 or 2) VPS there (mainly Contabos, I'm still really happy with them), and (b) and more importantly for me, in my field of work (mainly crypto and server centered) I strongly prefer more cores (even if mediocre ones) and in particular more RAM over a very fast core with relatively little memory. So, for me personally 4 E5 v4 cores (although somewhat disappointing) plus 8GB memory trump the fast Ryzen with 2 GB memory. Depending on what type it might be different if I ran web+app servers though.
    Side note: Regrettably I only know GC's UK location and would be interested in seeing some other locations, too, e.g. 1 in each, Asia and the Americas. So, @NDTN if that isn't asking too much I'd really like to get access to those for a couple of days or a week ... * wink wink nudge nudge

    So, I think actually both VPSs offer good to very good bang per buck. Bonus points for Greencloud for their exceptionally good and incredibly fast support.

    @jsg don't forget about those beasts (with Double RAM + Bandwidth or Double CPU + Bandwidth for triennial payments) https://greencloudvps.com/billing/store/premium-kvm-sale
    In the Netherlands they give full /64 instead of /112 IPv6.

    Thank you for the review and benchmark @jsg. We do have other Premium plans with EPYC Milan & Ryzen CPUs in APAC/EU/USA. Let me know if you need access to VMs on busy nodes for testing.

  • @jsg said: Quite nice but a bit weird, e.g. FR, Par is faster than NL, Ams with a VPS located in NL?? Weird. But careful, while this VPS's connectivity might look poor at first sight when compared to the above GC VPS, I'm actually not that sure.

    In the past, they were tunneling with the free IPv4s from ovh. Now that ovh doesn't offer free IPv4s anymore, they are probably doing the same thing but with their own subnets. It might explain the weird connectivity here.

    • Update - more locations benchmarked -

    And again GreenCloudVPS / @NDTN amazed me, this time by providing me with access to five more locations (in addition to the E5v4 VPS I purchased in UK), so that now I can offer benchmarks in Asia, Europe, and NA, each for a Ryzen and a E5v4 VPS. The Ryzens are all equally equipped and so are the E5v4. Even better, I was provided both types in 2 locations in each region, so we can compare their connectivity (and there are some differences).

    I'll start with the Ryzens, all of which have 2 vCores, 4 GB memory, and 35 GB NVMe. First the one in Montana ("MO" is Montana, right?):
    All benchmarks in all locations are based on over 100 runs (avg: ca. 120 runs or so)

    Here's the system and processor info:

    Version 2.5.0a, (c) 2018+ jsg (->lowendtalk.com)
    Machine: amd64, Arch.: amd64, Model: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor            
    OS, version: FreeBSD 13.1, Mem.: 3.990 GB
    CPU - Cores: 2, Family/Model/Stepping: 25/33/2
    Cache: 64K/64K L1d/L1i, 512K L2, 16M L3
    Std. Flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat
              pse36 cflsh mmx fxsr sse sse2 sse3 pclmulqdq ssse3 fma cx16 sse4_1
              sse4_2 popcnt aes xsave osxsave avx f16c rdrnd hypervisor
    Ext. Flags: syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm
              cr8_legacy lzcnt sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw perfctr_core
    
    AES? Yes
    Nested Virt.? Yes
    HW RNG? Yes
    

    Now the processor/memory benchmark results

    ProcMem SC [MB/s]: avg 324.1 - min 139.4 (43.0 %), max 519.1 (160.2 %)
    ProcMem MA [MB/s]: avg 856.6 - min 609.3 (71.1 %), max 1005.4 (117.4 %)
    ProcMem MB [MB/s]: avg 829.2 - min 656.1 (79.1 %), max 995.1 (120.0 %)
    ProcMem AES [MB/s]: avg 1590.8 - min 1522.1 (95.7 %), max 1658.4 (104.3 %)
    ProcMem RSA [kp/s]: avg 146.4 - min 139.4 (95.2 %), max 152.6 (104.2 %)
    

    Yep, that's clearly Ryzen territory and with decent speed RAM. Nice.

    Pardon me? I think Greencloud are engaged in a conspiracy against me; just recently I lauded the other providers NVMe as screaming fast and now Greencloud smirks and lets me know "screaming fast? We'll show you what's screaming fast". OK, guys, you got me, I'll admit that this NVMe in your Ryzen system is the new definition of "not from this planet screaming fast". Congrats, your NVMe is very convincing.

    Let's have a look at connectivity (note that I added some targets for this benchmark)

    First it should be noted that except for otenet.gr (which is known to be weird and problematic) there have been no or almost no failures. Not surprisingly the US targets are all quite nice (with NYC ca. 375 Mb/s), but the major european targets have respectable results too (about 100 Mb/s) and the asian targets are OK too (e.g. HK and SG ca. 50 Mb/s) and even the african targets achieve usable connectivity. All in all nice.

    Now on to the Netherlands (in or not far from AMS I guess) Ryzen VPS

    Sysinfo

    Version 2.5.0a, (c) 2018+ jsg (->lowendtalk.com)
    Machine: amd64, Arch.: amd64, Model: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24-Core Processor 
    OS, version: FreeBSD 13.1, Mem.: 3.990 GB
    CPU - Cores: 2, Family/Model/Stepping: 23/49/0

    AES? Yes
    Nested Virt.? Yes
    HW RNG? Yes
    

    Note that this is a Ryzen with more cores.

    Processor/memory results

    ProcMem SC [MB/s]: avg 283.7 - min 118.2 (41.7 %), max 450.1 (158.7 %)
    ProcMem MA [MB/s]: avg 788.2 - min 678.8 (86.1 %), max 870.4 (110.4 %)

    ProcMem RSA [kp/s]: avg 126.7 - min 118.2 (93.3 %), max 133.8 (105.6 %)
    

    Mee, a bit lower than the first system, but then this node has 50% more cores, so of course it's slower (per vCore). But those results still are very decent.

    Oops there you see the difference between a (supposedly not fully occupied) 16 core node and a (supposedly fully occupied) 24 core node. Not bad, not bad at all, but by far not as excellent as the first VPS we looked at.

    First a grin: San Jose and some DC in Iraq pretty much the same results, haha.
    Then with a tear in the eye: here you see why I_m switching away from the @terrahost, NO OSL target; sad because I really like terrahost a lot

    Note the NL AMS target with almost 5 Gb/s and even the worst results was close to 1 Gb/s. Quite good results generally all over Europe and even Moscow is about 250 Mb/s (and even the Siberia target is about 100 Mb/s). Very cool. Cross Atlantic is good too with NVC solidly over 100 (and even close to 159) Mb/s. All in all really nice.

    Part 2

    Now on to the HongKong Ryzen VPS

    First the Sysinfo

    Version 2.5.0a, (c) 2018+ jsg (->lowendtalk.com)
    Machine: amd64, Arch.: amd64, Model: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor            
    OS, version: FreeBSD 13.1, Mem.: 3.990 GB
    CPU - Cores: 2, Family/Model/Stepping: 25/33/0
    Cache: 64K/64K L1d/L1i, 512K L2, 16M L3
    Std. Flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat
              pse36 cflsh mmx fxsr sse sse2 sse3 pclmulqdq ssse3 fma cx16 sse4_1
              sse4_2 popcnt aes xsave osxsave avx f16c rdrnd hypervisor

              cr8_legacy lzcnt sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw perfctr_core
    
    AES? Yes
    Nested Virt.? Yes
    HW RNG? Yes
    

    Same processor as the Montana Ryzen VPS. Again the full load of flags. Nice

    Performance:

    ProcMem SC [MB/s]: avg 321.8 - min 134.8 (41.9 %), max 511.0 (158.8 %)
    ProcMem MA [MB/s]: avg 799.9 - min 605.9 (75.8 %), max 957.9 (119.8 %)

    ProcMem RSA [kp/s]: avg 143.2 - min 134.8 (94.1 %), max 151.6 (105.9 %)
    

    No surprise, very good processor/memory performance.

    I'm afraid we're more looking into occupancy rate here. I guess GreenCloudVPS uses the same (very good and very fast) NVMe in all Ryzens, no matter the location. This node seems to be fully occupied but has the faster 16-core Ryzen and hence the performance numbers are in between 16-core Ryzen with low occupancy and 24-core Ryzen with full occupancy. Anyway a very nice NVMe, nothing to complain indeed.

    Finally the connectivity

    Lacking experience with that region I limit myself to noting that this VPS seems to offer really decent (very good it seems to me) connectivity to the whole region from India to Japan and Australia.


    Now, on to the 3 Xeon E5 v4 systems. First my own one in the UK.

    Somewhat mee and 100+ benchmark runs later I still stick to "meee, that v2 territory" but with 2 big BUTs, (a) that thingy is dirt cheap, I payed just $40 for three years, and (b) if I look as if it was a normal, not ultra-cheap E5v4 with just 2 vCores I'm happy again except for the crypto results.

    Hmm, I'm actually amazed by the SSD performance. Hey, I've seen NVMes that were slower. Considering the price tag that is a really nice SSD disk. Yay.

    I still find it somewhat weird that the main european targets (granted, all in the north-western part) show very nice results > 500 Mb/s bit e.g. Milano less than half, hmmm.
    Anyway, pretty much all european targets show at least 100 Mb/s (and usually more) and the NA east coast about 100 Mb/s but again with a riddle; usually I see WDC being a bit slower than NYC but here WDC shows just about half the speed of NYC (even Dallas is significantly faster than WDC). Strange. On the other hand the speeds to most asian and even african targets isn't bad at all.

    I'm very Europe-centric so for me that connectivity is totally OK, even quite good, especially when considering the price. But YMMV.

    Yikes, why do the get a much faster E5v4 VPS then we get in the UK?! Or in other words: nice! That's more like what I expect from an e5v4 system.

    Pfff, they get a faster SSD too. In fact, that disk is in NVMe territory. And me idiot just said that I'm happy with my UK SSD. Injustice! Where is my hot chocolate, sniff.

    Hehe, finally I found something to console me; my UK VPS clearly has better connectivity. Pfff, that thing doesn't even reach 1 Gb/s within its own city.

    But, oh well, even with not great connectivity the fast processor and memory as well as the NVMe territory SSD clearly make this a good deal anyway for the low price.

    Finally on to the last VPS, a E5v4 in Singapore (damn they really have the tasty asian locations)

    See, I told you that the Greencloud guys run a conspiracy against me! And again, hardly after I praised an excellent result they grin and make the next VPS (this one) even much better. Grrrr. I call foul, Greencloud! It's not fair to sell really cheap VPSs with SSDs that are better than more than a few NVMes I've seen.

    I want to note a miracle. AFAIK this is the first time that I've seen any VPS achieve > 100 Mb/s to Ozziland. That is the remarkable point here, not the fact that both India and Hongkong are about (or even above) 200 Mb/s. As for the rest I won't comment, again, as I don't know that region well but my gut tells me that the Greencloudvps people do know the region very well, obviously.

    Summary / TL;DR

    It was a joy to deal with GreenCloudVPS / @NDTN. Just like with their support everything went very smooth, professional, and quick. I left it to them and just asked for a Ryzen and a E5v4 VPS in Asia, EU, and NA, if possible. And possible it was and they chose well. Not only shiny pearls but bog standard VPS and in 6 locations.
    The (premium) Ryzen systems are, well, bloody fast Ryzens, and come with fast NVMe and, somewhat depending on location (duh) with decent to very decent connectivity.
    The E5v4 (budget) systems come with a very low price, actually really fast SSDs, and very good connectivity for a budget system.
    I won't talk around the point. The point was that I originally purchased a VPS to replace a NexusBytes (on their dying bed, it seems) VPS that is, I wanted a really decent VPS for roughly a NB price. And it seems I've found what I was looking for. I not only recommend GreenCloudVPS but are on my way to become fan.
    What convinced me the most? 3 points, basically

    • no "funny games". You get what you pay for and it works well aka honest provider
    • price. I've a lot very low end VMs, some even cheaper than my Greencloud VPS but in terms of bang per buck their budget VPS beat all others I know of. 8 GB(!) and 4 vCores for < 15$/yr, nuff said.
    • support. Very, very few providers offer that kind of support. Response times usually way less than 1 hour (actually typ. more like 10 or 15 mins), no canned BS but helpful, solution oriented, to the point and, did I mention it already? super-duper quick.

    Bonus points: They actually listen to customers. When I asked for a FreeBSD ISO they took care of it really quickly. And when I noticed a small weak point early on during benchmarking the improved it within an hour or so. Incredible, those guys.
