v6Node Germany Frankfurt General Purpose Virtual Machine Test and Review
We recently checked out the v6Node Germany Frankfurt server, which is pretty powerful. It runs on an AMD EPYC processor with 32 cores and uses a setup that includes 6 CPU cores, 16 GB of memory, 140 GB of SSD storage, and a 1 Gbps internet connection. It comes with 16 TB of data transfer. Plus, it has both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.
Our team tested the server to see what it’s made of. We started with performance checks like Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark to see the fundamental stats. To look at how it connected worldwide with the Global Node Test for its network power and timed its reaction speed with the Global Ping Test.
We also checked whether it can access media from different regions with the Media Unlock Test and tested the connection quality through the CloudFlare Internet Test. Lastly, we measured its web speed and reliability using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance tools.
About v6Node
v6Node is a modern web hosting platform that offers affordable IPv6 nodes. The platform is designed to provide a cost-effective solution for individuals and businesses leveraging the benefits of IPv6 connectivity.
The platform offers various services, including compute nodes, storage nodes, and web applications. Compute nodes are general-purpose instances that start at €1 per month. These nodes are ideal for running various applications, from web servers to VPNs. Storage nodes are coming soon and designed for applications that depend heavily on storage. The web applications service is a modern web hosting platform that starts at €5 per month.
One of the unique features of v6Node is its focus on IPv6 connectivity. All nodes on the platform come equipped with native IPv6 connectivity. However, thanks to DNS64 and NAT64, users can still access IPv4-only resources on the Internet.
The platform is powered by reliable KVM virtualization and the latest hardware. This ensures robust performance and reliability for all nodes. The platform also offers simple management tools, allowing users to manage their nodes easily.
v6Node also offers a free reverse proxy service. This service allows users to host their applications under their domain name, secured with SSL and available for IPv4 and IPv6 clients. The reverse proxy service supports as many domains as users, allowing them to proxy multiple applications on different ports.
