HostVDS United States Dallas Intel Xeon Highload Cloud Server Test and Review

In this review, we’re testing the HostVDS Highload Cloud VDS Server in Dallas, United States. The server has an Intel Xeon E3-12xx v2 (Ivy Bridge, IBRS) Processor, supported by 4 CPU Cores, 16 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD Storage, a 1 Gbps Internet Port, and a generous 10 TB traffic limit. Accompanying all this is a dedicated IPv4 address.

We are employing intensive assessments to put this server through its paces. The Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark tests are designed to measure essential server metrics. Beyond those, we turn to the Global Node Test for a comprehensive examination of the server’s network performance, joined by the Global Ping Test to accurately measure latency.

We will also run the Media Unlock Test to analyze regional accessibility and the CloudFlare Internet Test to reflect the server’s connection quality accurately. Furthermore, we delve into web performance metrics through tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance.
