Paperspace United States California High Performance Virtual Machine VPS Test and Review
In this evaluation round, our subject is the High-Performance Shared vCPU VPS Server provided by Paperspace in Santa Clara, California, United States. It’s powered by the dynamic Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 @ 2.10GHz processor and possesses 2 CPU cores, complemented by 4 GB of RAM and 50 GB of SSD storage. Not to mention, the server comes with the perk of unlimited traffic and a single IPv4.
Our tests:
The Basic Benchmark, Unix Benchmark, and Yabs form the skeleton of our examination to yield essential system metrics. In network evaluation, the Global Node Test offers a comprehensive analysis. Latency gets its limelight via the Global Ping Test to ensure real-time responsiveness.
To understand the broader applicability of the server, we put regional accessibility through its paces with the Media Unlock Test. The quality of the connection is gauged using the comprehensive CloudFlare Internet Test. Lastly, we employ industry standards such as PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance to ascertain web performance.
This extensive test suite offers deep insights into the overall server performance, ensuring a holistic view of its capability and suitability for various applications.
