Hetzner United States Hillsboro AMD EPYC CPU Dedicated Server Test and Review
![Hetzner United States Hillsboro AMD EPYC CPU Dedicated Server Test and Review](https://www.letshosting.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-139.png)
This time, we will test the Hetzner Dedicated Server in Hillsboro, United States. An AMD EPYC-Milan Processor powers this server and boasts impressive specifications: 4 cores CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 160 GB of SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, and a generous 20 TB data transfer allowance. This server also comes with an IPv4 and an IPv6 address.
How well does this sever perform? Let’s find out. Our investigation includes a variety of detailed tests:
- Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark: These trials measure crucial performance data like a health check-up for your server.
- Global Node Test: This examines the network quality by checking connection points worldwide.
- Global Ping Test: This measures how quickly data can travel back and forth to the server, indicating its response times.
Looking deeper into the server’s accessibility and web performance, we’ll also conduct:
- Media Unlock Test: This shows which geographical regions can access the server and its media content.
- CloudFlare Internet Test: This will help us understand the quality of internet connections by seeing how they interact with a popular web infrastructure and security company.
- Performance evaluations using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix: These reviews help assess how quickly a webpage loads and performs on this server.
Through these thorough and detailed tests, you’ll gain an in-depth knowledge of this server’s overall performance.
About Hetzner
Hetzner Online GmbH is a renowned cloud hosting services provider. They have a variety of server options to meet different needs.
1. Shared vCPU (x86) servers: They’re best fit for small to medium-sized websites and applications that can adjust to fluctuating levels of CPU allocation. These servers offer a great balance between cost and performance.
2. Shared vCPU (Arm64) servers: This is an alternative to traditional x86-based cloud servers. These servers introduce you to the powerful and eco-friendly Arm64 architecture at an attractive price point.
3. Dedicated vCPU servers: These servers are the go-to for apps and workloads that require high CPU and network usage. They demonstrate low lag times and predictable performance, making them a great fit for highly trafficked website gaming servers, machine learning, and big data processing tasks.
Hetzner also provides flexible and expandable Volumes, which let you increase the SSD-based storage for each cloud server as required. Also, if you use the server for less than a month, you only pay for the hours you use.
The company has newly launched ARM64-based cloud servers. These new offerings, called the “CAX” line, come with up to 32 GB of ECC RAM and as much as 320 GB of NVMe SSD-based storage. Due to their impressive performance, these plans are perfect for busy web servers, servers employing various applications, and other performance-intensive tasks.

Get Started with Hetzner
![Hetzner United States Hillsboro AMD EPYC CPU Dedicated Server Test and Review](https://www.letshosting.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-140.png)
Getting started with Hetzner Cloud Servers involves a few steps:
- Create a Server: Log in to your Hetzner Cloud Console account and visit a project. Click on the button
ADD SERVER
And choose a server location and configuration. You can customize your server with features like location, OS images, server type, networking, SSH key, and volume. - Install CloudPanel: Install CloudPanel on the server by logging in with SSH and running the installer script. Access CloudPanel as fast as possible to create the admin user and secure the server.
- Connect to Your Server: After creating your server, you can connect via SSH using a command-line interface (CLI). Enter the following command to connect to your server remotely Via IPv4 or IPv6:
<span class="hljs-comment"># For IPv4</span> ssh root@<203.0.113.1> <span class="hljs-comment"># For IPv6</span> ssh root@<2001:db8:1234::1>
Replace
<203.0.113.1>
and<2001:db8:1234::1>
with the actual IP addresses of your server3. - Use Hetzner CLI: You can also use the Hetzner CLI for managing your servers. To start, visit the Hetzner Cloud Console at the console.hetzner.cloud, select your project, and create a new API token. Configure the
hcloud
program to use your token:hcloud context create my-project
Now, you’re ready to use the program.
Please note that these are general steps and might vary based on your requirements and configurations.

![Hetzner United States Hillsboro AMD EPYC CPU Dedicated Server Test and Review](https://www.letshosting.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-141.png)
Hetzner’s Cloud Console is a user-friendly interface that allows you to manage your cloud servers. Here are some key features:
- Server Management: Select your server and login via the console. The server console should appear, allowing you to manage your server.
- Root Access: You can log in as the root user with the root password you received via email. You can request a new root password if your server was created with an SSH key or you no longer have the password.
- VNC Console: Hetzner provides a VNC console for your Cloud Console. This allows you to interact directly with your server physically at the machine.
- API Token: You can create a new API token for your project from the Hetzner Cloud Console. This token can be used with the Hetzner CLI for managing your servers.
Please note that you need to enable JavaScript or switch to a browser that supports JavaScript to view the Hetzner Cloud Console.

Conclusion
In our primary test, the Basic Bench, our server yielded an average I/O Speed of 1365.3 MB/s, hinting at its rapid data read/write capabilities. We also observed how the server behaved across different global locations. The specifications performed impressively, with the highlights being download speeds well over 9 Gbps from Los Angeles and Dallas.
We then put the server through the Yabs Performance Bench. The read-write operations showed promising results. It achieved impressive speeds with mixed read/write operations, hitting 2.31 GB/s on a 1m block-size operation. Transitioning to the Geekbench 6 Benchmark Test, it pulled off scores of 1542 and 3535 for single-core and multi-core performance, soaking up the demanding workload with ease.
With UnixBench, we wanted to measure the server’s CPU performance. The first run scored a substantial index of 1064.4 but showed its muscle in the second run with 4 parallel copies of tests, yielding an index of 2726.6, which truly highlights the server’s superb performance.
Finally, our server underwent the Media Unlock Test for global content accessibility. It unlocked Dazn (US Region), Amazon Prime Video (US Region), and TVBAnywhere+. However, it couldn’t unlock services like Disney+, HotStar, and Viu.com.
In conclusion, the Hetzner Dedicated Server is quite a force to be reckoned with. It presents a commendable performance in benchmark tests, impressive network speeds, and reasonable global media accessibility. It’s a solid choice for users who seek a server with heavy-duty specs and extensive data transfer allowances.
However, its media unlocking abilities fall a little short for some major services, which might need consideration for users relying heavily on those platforms. Overall, though, this server’s performance seamlessly aligns with Hetzner’s reputation for reliability and power.
