Server Rika dedicated server review

hammer · December 2024

Hi
I'm reviewing for Server Rika dedicated servers Epic Greyhound deal.

prose:

Its cheap for a 7 year old cpu. I've seen providers charge worse prices for way older cpus.
Its near my house Only a 2 hour flight away. Not many providers that are good value are in Canada.
Alot of bandwidth. 100tb at 10gb/s
Support is good responded quickly to my questions even though it was low priority.

Things to improve:

The CPU is in power saving mode. I personally can live with this because I'm not hammering it 24/7 and it does increase speed when I need to. But, it does effect the all important yabs.sh.
The nvme from this yabs is old but again I can live with it because its a good deal and its still pretty fast. I won't lose millions an hour.
I'd rate it a good 4.5/5
And here is your yabs.sh.
