Hostwinds evaluation: A "unpopular" datacenter VPS that is good for Internet access and website building, with a monthly payment of US$3.5, and supports Alipay

This site has shared with you the hostwinds registration tutorial before. You can see that the current hostwinds managed VPS half-price event is still very affordable. However, unmanaged VPS is still cheaper. Here we will test the VPS purchased in the previous tutorial.

First look at the hardware configuration:

hostwinds hardware configuration

With 1G of memory, swap is 0. It seems that I don’t understand Chinese users very well, otherwise I would have to give at least 512M of swap memory. The hard drive is 30G, which is twice the size of ordinary hard drives at the same price. I didn't choose the default solid state drive when I purchased it. The hard drive I'm testing now has an IO of about 300M, which is pretty good. If it's a solid state drive, I guess it should be higher than G. It can be seen that the download speeds of most foreign test points are also good. Let’s focus on the download speed in mainland China:

Download speeds in various regions of mainland China are not very stable. China Mobile performs best, followed by China Unicom, and Telecom is slightly worse. However, most download speeds are acceptable. Take a look at the ping value:

ping value

The average ping value is less than 200, which is very good. Although places like Henan are in red in the picture, the ping value is only ten to twenty higher than 200, and basically does not exceed 230, which is very good for the Seattle datacenter. Good performance. Take another look at the hostwinds three-network routing map:

Telecom routing

China Unicom Route

Mobile routing

You can see that China Telecom and China Unicom use the backbone network, while China Mobile uses the Guangdong exit. This line is already very good for the Seattle datacenter. Let’s take a look at the actual speed of YouTube:

hostwinds watch youtube

The performance is very good, the download speed is 7M, which is the download speed of ordinary home broadband now, and the buffering time is more than 100 seconds. It is very smooth to watch 1080P, which is excellent for watching videos. Since we have 1G memory and 30G hard drive, which are not used for website creation, let’s build a WDCP panel and have a look:

hostwinds installs WDCP

You can see that after the installation is completed, there is still 760M of memory left. The virtual memory is 0 because it has not been set before. If it is used to build a website, it is also very convenient to set 512M or 1G of virtual memory.

The above is the evaluation of hostwinds on this site. It can be seen that, except for the slightly higher ping value due to the location of the datacenter, hostwinds performs relatively well in all aspects, especially the discounted price and configuration. It is very cost-effective in terms of hardware, no matter what it is used for. You can be an agent or build a website all in one place. And as an old "unpopular" datacenter, it is a good choice for Chinese users who don't like to get together.
