LaunchVPS United States Intel Xeon® E5-2637 Optimized SSD VPS Hosting Test and Review

Today, we’re putting the LaunchVPS server located in Pennsylvania, USA, to the test. This server boasts an Intel® Xeon® E5-2637 v2 processor at 3.50GHz and comes equipped with two CPU cores, 2 GB of RAM, 50 GB of SSD storage, a 500 Mbps internet connection, and 2 TB data transfer. Additionally, it provides one IPv4 address and one IPv6 address for connectivity.

We’re conducting a thorough performance review using a variety of tools:

1. Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark to check core performance measurements.
2. Global Node Test for a wide-ranging network performance analysis.
3. Global Ping Test to measure response times across the internet.

For checking how the server handles content around the world, we have:

1. Media Unlock Test to see if regional content restrictions affect accessibility.
2. Cloudflare Internet Test to evaluate the server’s internet connection quality.
3. Web performance is measured using tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance to assess how fast web pages load and perform.

We aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how this server performs under various conditions, ensuring you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
