HostVDS France Paris Highload Cloud VDS Server Test and Review
Let’s look at the HostVDS France Paris High-Performance Cloud Server. This server is equipped with an Intel Xeon E3-12xx v2 processor, which ensures efficient performance. Here are the details of the server configuration: it has a 4-core CPU, 16 GB of memory (RAM), 80 GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage, a high-speed 1 Gbps internet connection, a generous allotment of 10 TB of data transfer, and one IPv4 address for network connectivity.
We have conducted a series of tests to evaluate this server’s performance and reliability:
Basic Benchmarks: These tests provide a quick overview of the server’s computing capabilities. Yabs and Unix Benchmarks: We use these tools to measure the server’s performance in key areas. Global Node Test: This assesses the server’s network performance on a global scale. Global Ping Test: Helps us determine the responsiveness and latency of the server to ensure rapid communication.
Media Unlock Test: Checks whether content from various regions can be accessed through this server. CloudFlare Internet Test: Evaluate the quality of the server’s network connection. Web Performance Tests: We use PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to assess how quickly websites will load when hosted on this server.
By compiling data from these tests, we can comprehensively review the server’s overall performance, suitability for high-demand applications, network quality, and web hosting efficiency.

Conclusion
The I/O performance of the server, responsible for reading and writing data, held steady across multiple tests, with an average speed of approximately 398.7 MB/s. Network performance, crucial for smooth global operability, was impressive in most locations, particularly within Europe, where we recorded upload speeds reaching over 3 Gbps and download speeds of approximately 400-500 Mbps. However, connectivity to Asia proved less robust, showcasing the challenge of long-distance data transmission.
In the mixed read/write tests conducted by Yabs, the server demonstrated its prowess with IO operations per second (IOPS) in the tens of thousands for small files and over a thousand for larger files, reaching read and write speeds surpassing 1 GB/s on larger blocks. Notably, the single and multi-core performance, as per Geekbench, and the UnixBench score, which assesses the server’s ability to handle various computational tasks simultaneously, both indicate this server handles multi-tasking extremely well.
Our UnixBench test results reaffirm the server’s robust CPU performance, with scores significantly higher than the benchmark values. When all four cores operate concurrently, there is a notable increase in performance, as evidenced by higher index scores, which underscore the server’s effective multi-core processing capability.
Turning to regional accessibility, the Media Unlock Test results show that clients will enjoy a broad range of content availability with successful unlocks for major streaming services within the France region. This server’s suitability for multimedia content distribution is evident, although some services are region-restricted.
In conclusion, our rigorous examination of the HostVDS server in Paris has established its capability as a high-performing and reliable choice for general and specialized tasks. With excellent network performance, particularly in Europe, and strong media unlocking capacity, it is a solid option for those seeking a cloud server solution that balances power with accessibility.
