In this post, I provide an update on benchmarks and reviews for VPS, or virtual private servers on this site.

ReadyDedis VPS in Mumbai

ReadyDedis posted an offer on Low End Spirit and Low End Talk about their new Mumbai location. I was intrigued. Good, reasonably priced VPS (Virtual Private Server) plans in India are few, and for a while I have been looking at an option of a VPS in Mumbai. I do not have any servers in India, because the price to specifications ratio does not work well typically. In recent months, this has changed – two other offers for a VPS in Mumbai were posted by Cloudjiffy and Nexaracks recently. (read my benchmarks of Nexaracks VPS ) This offer added a third option.

Update December 2020: During Black Friday sale, ReadyDedis offerd a great deal for a Mumbai location. I will publish a separate review on that shortly.

Review: India based VPS by Nexaracks. Blog of Amar Vyas

Earlier this week, Someshzade from Nexaracks reached out to me with information that they were launching a VPS offer in India. I had earlier tested their VPS from Leapswitch, Mumbai location, and was more than happy to rest out this new test piece.
Update:
1. You can find the plans and the pricing here.
2. Fixed the links to the images.

Yet Another Benchmarking Script (YABS)

Today (October 7 ,2019) user MasonR posted on LowEndTalk about this benchmarking script that he started working on. As per him,

Benchmark Tests on VPS- Part III

December 16, 2020September 22, 2019

This is the final set of benchmark tests on VPS’es. Starting next week, I will put them to the intended use. One quarter of idling nearly eight VPS’es is enough 🙂

A discussion on Lowendtalk forums introduced me to a new script on running benchmarks. I promptly tried it this morning and got some interesting results:

Running nench.sh on 10 VPS’es – KVM, OVZ, NAT

Over the past few months thanks to LowEndtalk (and the frown of my spouse), I have managed to gather a collection of Virtual Private Servers (VPS’es). Ten at the last count. Till April this year, I did not even know what a VPS was. Five months later, I am writing a post comparing the performances of different VPS’es, some of which are KVM, others OVZ and the rest are NAT devices.
