VMs use 2nd-generation Intel Xeon Gold Scalable processors with a frequency of 3.1 GHz. These processors provide a decent level of performance, but are no longer the benchmark.

VPS Test Results Analysis

CPU performance is low but stable. However, disk performance fluctuates.
But the biggest bottleneck is the bandwidth, which is capped at 50 Mbit/s by default, which is extremely low.

Virtualization

ServerSpace uses its own vStack virtualization technology and is designed for standard applications with fixed pricing plans and all-solid-state drives (SSDs). It also utilizes VMware ESXi, which is based on the industry-standard VMware hypervisor and is better suited for complex infrastructures requiring user networks or mixed storage types.

Both platforms distribute resources with a 1:1 ratio of virtual and physical CPU cores to ensure high performance.

Technical support
