How about contabo? Detailed evaluation of cloud servers in UK data centers

How about contabo? How about contabo UK? The cloud servers in contabo's UK computer room are basically the same as those in other computer rooms. The hardware configuration is exactly the same. Due to rising global costs, contabo's price has also increased by 9% this year. What we need to pay attention to is the network, and see how Contabo's network from the UK to mainland China goes. This review will give you a detailed look at the test data, which is only for your reference before purchasing.

VPS features:

KVM virtual, SSD or NVMe hard drive, each VPS provides 32T outflow traffic per month (no inflow limit), comes with an IPv4; free snapshot (snapshot).

Optional computer rooms: United States (Seattle, St. Louis, New York), Germany, United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia

Prompt:

For new users, all products of contabo are not activated immediately after placing an order (nothing happens after the order is placed, wait for the official email to you, which contains the Paypal payment link, etc.), and all require official manual activation. , it will take roughly 24 hours; once the product is activated, it will be activated automatically if you buy it later, and no manual review is required. Germans are relatively rigid in doing things. Contabo does not have a ticket system or online communication. Everything is communicated and processed by email...

The CPUs are now all AMD EPYC 7282 by default, with a main frequency of 2.8GHz. It seems to be the IP of Cogent's British computer room. The current hard disk I/O is about 730MB/S (the webmaster for this evaluation chose NVMe. If you like big For hard drives, choose the SSD series):

FIO tests the current hard disk I/O again:

The webmaster tested and purchased the lowest configuration, which is 200Mbps bandwidth for 32T traffic. Let’s run a speedtest to see how much it can reach in the three-network environment in mainland China? The approximate data is as follows:

Continue the test. During the evening peak period, the backbone network is fried. Take a look at the data and compare it with the daytime:

Continue speedtest and run international nodes to see:

The effect of speedtest node running in Asia:

iperf3 tests several European 10G port nodes and the approximate effect;

The files stored on the test chicken are directly downloaded by Guangzhou Telecom through the browser. The approximate speed is:

Evening peak, Guangzhou Telecom, download speed:

Evening rush hour, Sichuan Chengdu China Unicom, download speed:

Evening rush hour, Hubei Shiyan Telecom:

Latency test of multiple nodes of three networks in mainland China:

For the outbound telecommunications journey, the backbone network connects to level 3 from San Jose, USA to London, UK:

For China Unicom's outbound journey, I used twelve99 to go directly to Europe:

Mobile outbound, CMI followed by level3 directly to Europe:

Telecom backhaul: Go overseas via level 3 to connect with telecom backbone

Return to China Unicom: Take level 3 to Los Angeles, USA, and get a direct connection back to China from China Unicom’s level 3 peer in Los Angeles/San Jose

Mobile return trip: use Mobile London’s mobile nodes to directly connect back to China

Cross-regional streaming platform unlocking test, the IP looks pretty good:

Some streaming media unlocking tests in Europe:

VPS performance test, test results of some parameters:

A rough summary:

Judging from the current test data, the VPS performance is quite good, and the server has not just been launched, so there is no need to worry;

As for the network, although the mobile backhaul is a direct connection, considering that the mobile network is really rubbish in Europe, China Telecom uses level 3, and China Unicom also takes a detour to the United States, so from the perspective of the three networks, we should treat it as an ordinary international line.
