HostVDS Finland Helsinki Intel Core Burstable SSD Cloud Instance Test and Review

Our team recently tested the HostVDS Finland Helsinki Burstable SSD Cloud Instance, featuring an Intel Core Processor (Broadwell, IBRS), 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet port, 2 TB of traffic, and both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This setup promises strong performance, and our review aimed to validate these claims through comprehensive benchmarks.

We use Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark for performance metrics; Global Node Test for network speeds across different locations; Global Ping Test for latency; The Media Unlock Test for checking media accessibility; CloudFlare Internet Test for connection quality; and web performance checks using PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.
