Now our traditional responsiveness test: Place I was investigating the problem, but no final solution found yet (for sure I can see 35MB Microsoft Antimalware process running). There is about 470MB of RAM occupied after login, which is over 100MB too much. And even for a 1000Mb/s port in a shared server environment this is amazing! It’s also clear that it’s not a 100Mb/s port. Just before you get too excited let me say, that probably the second server is hosted in the same location as our VPS.
Second server: rock stable (up to 2% difference between min and max) 498.66Mb/s download and 754.59Mb/s upload!!! You can’t see this kind of numbers often. Please note this is more that you can get on a 100Mb/s port even theoretically! Download speed is quite stable (176.58 Mb/s min and 216.73Mb/s max), while the upload is fluctuating (65.90Mb/s min to 131.35Mb/s max). The results are quite surprising (remember that this machine should run on 100Mb/s port)! Usually I connect with a few different servers near the VPS host location and measure the average speed, but in this case I have to split the results into two tables.įirst server: average download is 197.28 Mb/s and 97.72Mb/s for upload.

Berman Hosting Windows VPS has a good CPU speed, while RAM and disk performance is below average. This Windows VPS is run on a desktop processor Intel Core i7, where usually in servers there are server processors used (like Intel Xeon). In general the vps was set up promptly and the support is responsive – I just wonder if they will be willing to help in some non-standard cases. Still you have all the emails gathered under My emails tab in the client’s area, but it’s very inconvenient! I was given this advice and no further investigation from the host side was conducted. I put it through to Berman hosting support (ticket answered in 7 minutes at night) however they couldn’t manage to solve it. Yes, I love making orders and creating tickets at night and during weekends – I’m testing them for you! The problem was I had no idea, that my windows vps machine is ready to go, because I didn’t receive any confirmation email. I paid for the vps Saturday evening and it was ready Sunday afternoon (in 19 hours), which is ok. Great!īerman hosting declares unlimited bandwidth. So all in all your monthly payment for 1GB Windows box running on 1000Mb/s port will be 21.99$, which still is cheap, but not so dead cheap.Īs of December 2014 all the prices include both Windows licence costs and 1000Mb/s port. The Windows OS costs additional 2$ a month.
You can upgrade to 1000Mb/s for 5$ a month.Ģ. The declared network port speed is 100Mb/s (but see over findings below!). Looking at the prices you can see that they’re very competitive! however please notice that:ġ. This is a really straightforward vps offer: no micro vps, no huge machines. Ok, enough this old pirate rant, let’s see the offer. I’m pretty sure that the most of TOS of small providers is copied from somewhere… Guys! I’m living in Europe, you’re living in Europe, the servers are hosted in Europe – what US has got with it? And what if I break a City law of Morgantown, West Virginia? (kudos for people from WV!). There is one, quite amusing for me, passage about adhering to “US Federal, State or City laws”. In general: no illegal or copyrighted materials, no proxy servers. It is quite clear what you can and can’t do with your vps, because of short and clear Terms of Service. The provider’s data is publicly available in whois database, so we easily learnt that the business is run from Bulgaria. Although the prices were risen a bit it still is one of the cheapest available. Berman hosting was given birth in October 2011 and from the start it was offering cheap windows vps hosting.
