[VPS Benchmark] Evolution Host Developer VPS

Hi there, it is official, in this year (2019) has begun the low-end era, several web hosting providers are selling this type of VPS massively and there’s no reason for its end in a very, very, very long time. If you don’t know so much about VPS servers, you may wonder: What’s a low-end?. Well, a low-end VPS is just VPS instances with tiny-medium resources for a very low cost. These types of VPS are now promoted everyday by websites like LowEndTalk and LowEndSpirit throughout the entire world wide web and Evolution Host is now one of them by offering powelful low-end VPSs.

Review

In this post I’ll review performance of a Developer Package courtesy of Evolution Host, this VPS instance include: 2 CPU Cores at 4Ghz+, 2GB DDR4 RAM, 40GB SSD Storage / 100GB HDD Storage, 1Gb/s Port, 20TB Monthly Transfer (Wow!), Advanced DDoS Protection, Linux Distributions and their available in Europe/US Locations, these locations are: Dallas, USA | Frankfurt, Germany | London, UK | Montreal, Canada | Oregon, USA | Strasbourg, France | Sydney, Australia | Virginia, USA and Warsaw, Poland.

Under these VPS you can install: Ubuntu 14.04 x86 x64, Ubuntu 16.04 x86 x64, Ubuntu 17.04 x86 x64, Ubuntu 18.04 x86 x64, CentOS 6.9 x86 x64, CentOS 7.4 x64, CentOS 8.0 x64, Debian 8.7 x64, Debian 9.4 x64, Debian 10 x64, Fedora 21 x64, Fedora 27 x64, openSUSE 13.1 x86 x64 and Scientific 7.4 x64. All this for 10€ monthly.

First, they offer Vitualizor panel to manage VPS instances, if you like to setup rDNS records, you cannot do that through Virtualizor, instead, you can do that through Evolution Host panel (Client Account), you can change rDNS records there at any time. My VPS instance are located in Montreal, Canada and have 100GB HDD storage.

-------------------------------------------------

In my personal opinion, that VPS instance is very powerful considering that is a low-end one. That network speed (83.13 MiB/s) plus the 100GB HDD storage and the 20TB’s bandwidth makes this VPS a perfect storage/backup server, but those two CPUs (i7-7700K @ 4.20GHz) makes this VPS perfect to be used as web hosting server to run serveral websites and even you can use it as download web server (more about this).

Conclusion

I recommend this Developer VPS from Evolution Host without a doubt, I think it will fit to any small-medium-large size project. These offers are limited so be sure to grab one before it ends. However, if you miss it, don’t worry, I’m sure they will be making similar offers from time to time, check them out through: LowEndTalk and LowEndSpirit. If you have any doubt about it, leave a comment.
