My first impressions review for ryzen VPs by. Servers Galore a provider from Australia. They posted an exclusive offer on LowEndSpirit for their Melbourne, Australia location. Nathan from Servers Galore reached out to me and asked if I would like to test out a unit. Replying in the affirmative was a no brainer, because a Ryzen VPS with NVme disks is always a pleasure to test out.
Yesterday I had posted about limiting the number of benchmark tests I would be running starting next month. As luck would have it, I ended up adding one more to the list of servers to run the tests. This is a test unit for 24 hours, therefore I will limit my comments to the first impressions based on the VPS performance.
Account Setup
Setting up the account was easy- though the recapcha did not show up on my browser (Firefox) which prevented me from setting up the account. Using Safari solved the problem. Once the confirmation mail was received, I messaged Nathan, who set up this test unit for me.

The operating system was Ubuntu 20.04 (not my first choice, my personal preference is Debian 10). Note this is not a criticism of the choice of OS, I was merely stating my preference. An apt-get update and a dist-upgrade later, I was ready to run the tests.
