Single-core scores under 500, and no IPv6? ...Maybe worth the $7/yr price (though it's not as good as buying a NAT VPS - most of which come with dedicated IPv6).

Hey Clancy, okay thank you very much for posting. Totally tracking on the NAT VPS, I actually looked into that, and that’s something we may be able to offer in the future.

Great performance for my use case. I might buy one more!

Not asking for anything, but will be glad to receive.

Hey Batman thank you very much for your order Will know more soon DediRock upgrades

@DediRock said: For the current plans, no, but in the future when we add back other locations, we will have IPv6.

It's a pity to hear that IPv6 won't appear on the current tariffs, because it's very necessary. I'm forced to cancel the purchase and wait for new tariffs with IPv6.

i wont renew either, BUT he can't give IPv6 on this, since ColoCrossing doesn't have IPv6.

$7/yr for your own IPv4 is a pretty good deal for me. Unfortunately a lot of the internet don't care about IPv6, so it ends up going down a lot in the priority list.

Hey Quji, thank you very much for the comment

I'm a self proclaimed connoisseur of super cheap vps servers. I have a whole collection, including many that aren't around any more because of deadpools. Whenever I see deals this cheap I just can't help but to try it out and hope for the best. I've only had this one for roughly 48 hours and so it could certainly change as more and more people pile on (like what happened with MassiveGrid). Hopefully DediRock is smarter and actually stops the deal before things get that bad.

CPU performance is about the worst I've seen. The only CPU performance that has been slower was SeverHost. It's perfectly adequate for most tasks though. Again, this is a small sample size of just 48 hours but in that time period while CPU has certainly been slow the variance is really low which is awesome. So while you aren't going to break any speed records it's super solid and stable. On many cheap vms (hell many expensive ones) you see great peak values but with oversubscription those values can dip really hard during higher periods of usage (ie noisy neighbor problem). So over time your variance gets to be really high, that's not the case here (at least not yet, I will keep monitoring).

Network and disk are pretty much what you would expect for this price range. Nothing to write home about but definitely serviceable. I haven't seen any major network loss or big I/O hiccups. So far so good.

I think this is a really good deal for most people. If you aren't doing something that needs a lot of horsepower this is a great little chicken. I hope that this continues and oversubscription doesn't ruin it but time will tell. Cheers!

Hey Frank, thank you very much for the honest review on that. It actually gives me a good compass of what I need to work on and what we need to change. What OS did you use when doing the benchmark? For some reason, when I did the benchmarks on Rocky Linux, the scores came back way lower as opposed to doing the exact same test on an Ubuntu.

For some reason, when I did the benchmarks on Rocky Linux, the scores came back way lower as opposed to doing the exact same test on an Ubuntu.

What benchmarks did you run? How many iterations did you do? Over what period of time did you perform these benchmarks? Did you compare the peak benchmark value between Rocky Linux and Ubuntu or did you use an average score across many different runs?

We all know and love YABS. It's kind of the defacto benchmark to compare different VMs. However, if you just ran that in a loop over and over you would most likely end up getting kicked off for abusive behavior and for being a noisy neighbor. In other words, it is just too heavy to run it frequently. I don't need a full Geekbench run to get some quick cpu, memory and disk I/O tests on an ongoing basis. Doing lighter workloads constantly over extended periods of time gives you a much better view of the real world performance of the VM vs a snapshot in time of something like YABS. I want to know how well the VM is doing during peak hours as well as off peak hours. I want to know how much the peak performance that the CPU and memory is affected at all times. Maybe it's peak performance is 100 but it only achieves that a few times over the course of thousands of runs per day. Most of the time it might only be getting 73 of that 100. So sure the peak value is 100 but that's not what I'm seeing for the majority of the 24 hour period or average for an entire week/month. Showing me a benchmark of the peak score isn't super useful to me if the system is so loaded that I'm never actually going to get those results except when everyone else is asleep.

My approach is to do LOTS of smaller and quicker tests that can capture performance metrics across disk I/O, cpu, memory and network on an ongoing basis vs one single run. I can then look at the average, the peak and even variance (statistical measure that quantifies the spread of a set of data points around their mean value) of those metrics and see how well the VM performs on a much larger scale than just a single run of some benchmark.

any ETA on IPv6 ?

Will IPv6 be included in existing plans once it becomes active?

Yeah nice review I kinda resonant to this because I buy before think when it comes to $7/y and the YABS came out meh so sometimes it's not always about cheap, I've got much better $7 vps to compare otherwise I will think this is the max you can get for $7. Onto the next!

Hey TrueMagic thank for that comment, I will DM you soon, would like to ask you a couple of questions about it, very valuable info for me here. Thanks

I have a quick question: Does commenting double my bandwidth? I commented on August 29th and provided an invoice (Invoice #12684). Currently, my bandwidth hasn't been doubled.
