Rackdog United States Chicago Intel Xeon Unmetered Bandwidth Cloud Server Test and Review

We recently put the Rackdog United States Chicago server through its paces, and the results were quite impressive. This server, boasting an Intel Xeon Processor with two cores, 4 GB of RAM, 60 GB of SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, and an IPv4 address, demonstrated its capabilities across a range of benchmarks designed to test its performance connectivity and speed.

About Rackdog

Rackdog Cloud is a game-changer in the realm of cloud services. What sets it apart? It’s all about customization and flexibility. Unlike other cloud providers offering a limited range of standard sizes, Rackdog Cloud allows you to tailor your instance’s CPU, RAM, and storage size during deployment. This means you can create a cloud environment that fits your needs like a glove.

Let’s delve into some features that make Rackdog Cloud stand out. First, it offers all the features you’d expect from the industry’s big players. This includes backups, snapshots, live cloning, object storage, and API management. But that’s not all. Rackdog Cloud also offers load balancers and the ability to dial your VM up or down. These features allow you to adapt your cloud environment as your needs change.

One of the most appealing aspects of Rackdog Cloud is its pricing model. It operates on a pay-as-you-go, hourly billing system. This means you only pay for what you use, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. They even offer a $5 credit bonus when you deposit $1 with a specific code during their promo period.

Another noteworthy feature of Rackdog Cloud is its unmetered bandwidth. This is a huge advantage for businesses that handle large amounts of data. With Rackdog Cloud, you don’t have to worry about exceeding bandwidth limits or incurring additional costs.

Rackdog Cloud also shines in its global presence. It offers services in various locations, including Ashburn, VA; Secaucus, NJ; London, UK; Chicago, IL; and Sydney, AU. This wide coverage ensures low latency and high performance, no matter where you are.
