FLOWVPS, Australia: Black Friday 2019 Offer
In this post, you will find results from the benchmarks on a KVM VPS in Australia by FlowVPS, located in Melbourne. I had signed up for this service as a part of 2019 Black Friday offer. You my also find more tests and discussion in this thread on Low End Talk.
Update December 2020: Nearly One year after I published this post, I have mixed feelings about this VPS. Around October, there was a disk failure in the node and the server was down for days. The disks had to be replaced and there was a total data loss. (Thank goodness for Backups!) . Though that is hardly a reason for letting go of this server. I have simply been unable to put it to use. The price makes it an attractive proposition to hold on to on the other hand!
Specifications
4 vCPU 4GB RAM 15GB NVMe - Primary 100GB SSD - Secondary (Not bootable) 1.5TB Data 1 IPv4 At 15 Australian Dollars/Quarter about $ 10 US Dollars), this is one sweet deal!
