  Only becomes a LEB if you include their 30% discount code "TWOYEAR" on their lowest package. Still, looks pretty decent .

  Got any benchmarks and the standard cachefly and i/o tests ?

  i have a vps with fanatical. right now it's hosting a teamspeak3 server and a match server. in addition, it's hosting nginx serving a mirror for the latest urban terror. works as advertised.

  I have the mine since one year ago or something...

  A Core i7
  The coolest thing ever.

  @yomero Wow, that's pretty amazing price-wise.. $6 per quarter :O? Is it fast?

  Not the best I/O
  Maybe 30-50MB/s
  But what I need is an stable processor, good uptime and good latency, all these are perfect.

  Fair enough . What's their 1Gbps network like? Any idea how fast it'll actually download stuff?

  Ahm, no, the speed isn't the best. I don't need it anyway

  But I don't care, again, what I need is an stable network

  $ ping 4.2.2.1 -n
  rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 14.821/15.253/17.104/0.712 ms
  $ ping 8.8.8.8 -n
  rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 5.840/6.365/6.580/0.211 ms
  

  Oh, and

  $ ./ioping .
  min/avg/max/mdev = 0.1/85.7/619.2/182.8 ms
  
  $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync count=16k bs=64k; rm test
  1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 29.2132 s, 36.8 MB/s
  

  It has 0-15ms pings, with big spikes at times.

  Fair enough . I assume it'd be very good for hosting game servers and such then?

  For me has been wonderful.
  Despite recently I had some issues related to DDoS and abuse complains (related to my game) and I got suspended.. But all has been managed properly.
