Serverspace Brazil Sao Paulo vStack Cloud Unlimited Traffic VPS Test and Review
We recently reviewed the Serverspace Brazil Sao Paulo “Unlimited Traffic” VPS. This server runs on a fast Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6226R CPU at 2.90GHz and comes with 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of memory, 50 GB of SSD storage, a 100 Mbps internet connection, and one IPv4 address.
For our review, we ran a handful of checks: simple benchmarks to see how the server performs on basic tasks, Yabs and Unix Benchmark for key performance indicators, a worldwide network test to judge the server’s internet reach, and a ping test to check how quickly it responds.
We also tested if the server can access various media content worldwide, checked its connection stability with CloudFlare’s tools, and used PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to rate how well it handles website traffic.

Conclusion
Our tests started with Basic Bench, where we measured Input/Output (I/O) speed three times, averaging 880.3 MB/s. Not bad at all! The real-world upload and download speeds were consistent across various global locations, mostly around 90 Mbps, although performance dipped significantly in China. Our timed test finished in a brisk 6 minutes and 43 seconds.
Next, Yabs showed us the VPS’s nimbleness with disk tasks. Mixed read/write operations boasted speeds from 319.88 MB/s for smaller files to 20.76 GB/s for large files. Geekbench scores painted a picture of a VPS with decent chops for single and multi-core tasks, scored at 1170 and 2019, respectively. A UnixBench test, which gauges CPU performance, concluded with an overall index score of 2137.8, indicating a strong ability to handle parallel tasks efficiently and effectively.
In conclusion, the Sao Paulo VPS is a reliable workhorse that handles data at high speeds and shows considerable poise under different workloads. It’s a fitting choice for websites and applications that demand consistent performance and connectivity, with the bonus of ‘unlimited traffic’ making it a sweet deal for heavier demands. Whether you’re serving content locally or across oceans, this server has the muscle to push through challenging tasks without breaking a sweat.
