AlphaVPS Bulgaria free VPS review: good hardware, LXC virtualization is terrible

This site has previously evaluated AlphaVPS Los Angeles VPS, which is very suitable for telecom users (refer to the end of the article for extended reading). Before AlphaVPS, all OpenVZ architecture packages were OpenVZ 6. Technical support for OpenVZ 6 will end in November 2019, so AlphaVPS began to enable the Virtuozzo 7 platform. As long as there is a VPS user on AlphaVPS, you can apply for a free 30-day Bulgarian VPS. , just send a work order application directly. If you have purchased a VPS from AlphaVPS like this site before and are still using it now, you can directly apply for a work order. The free VPS will be approved in about four or five days. It just so happens that I would like to share with you the performance of AlphaVPS Bulgaria VPS.

AlphaVPS Bulgaria VPS Hardware Test

First, take a look at the AlphaVPS Bulgaria VPS hardware test results. It can be seen that it uses an E5-2650 processor that was dug out of the trash heap. It is only 1.2GHz, but it has quite a lot of cores, 4 cores. 4G memory does not have default Swap memory. The average read and write speed of the 60G hard disk is 456MB/s. The read and write speed of the hard disk is very good. It can be seen that it is an LXC architecture. When I saw this virtualization, my site was a little nervous. It is a virtualization that is full of problems. The download speed of most foreign nodes is pretty good. There are many test nodes in mainland China that are down. The upload and download speeds of the few nodes are hovering around 10M, which is very slow. Check out the delays to mainland China:

The delay is over 300MS, which is too high. It is said that even in a European datacenter, the delay should be around 250MS. Take a look at the specific three-network routing map:

AlphaVPS Bulgaria VPS mobile routing

It’s really strange. There are no detours in the three networks of China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile. It is directly connected to different locations in Europe and then connected to Bulgaria. The route is very short, but the delay is very high. Let’s take a look at the specific speed of watching videos:

AlphaVPS Bulgaria VPS watch youtube

The speed of watching YouTube is only 2,000 to 3,000, even if you only watch 720P, it is very difficult. Such slow VPS is rare nowadays. The large hard drive VPS in the AlphaVPS Bulgarian datacenter is very popular. Although the test model this time is not a large hard drive VPS, in order to take care of friends who build websites, I still try to install the Pagoda website building panel:

After installing the Pagoda panel and configuring the default LNMP environment, it occupied 249M of memory and 2.3G of hard drive. What needs to be explained here is that when I used the default Ubuntu system at the beginning, it crashed as soon as I installed the Pagoda Panel, and restarting in the background was useless. Later, I also had the same problem when I used Centos 6, but there was no problem when I used Centos 7. LXC virtualization is really speechless. I don’t know why businesses are still using it.

The above is our website’s review of AlphaVPS Bulgaria’s free VPS. You can see that the hardware configuration is pretty good, but the latency and upload and download speeds are as good as those of a free VPS. At present, AlphaVPS's Virtuozzo 7 architecture VPS is still under testing. From the normal point of view of this site, it is far inferior to the previous OpenVZ 6 virtualization. I don't know what the effect will be after this stress test. Here we remind you again that if you see a VPS virtualized with LXC, you must stay away.
