Gcore (gcorelabs) Russian Vladivostok VPS simple test

It has been a while since I shared information about Gcore (gcorelabs). This is a foreign hosting company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Luxembourg. It mainly provides VPS hosting and independent server rentals, etc. Its data centers include more than a dozen computer rooms in Russia, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, China (Hong Kong) and other countries and regions. The merchant has different management systems for different series of products. For example, VPS (Hosting) and Cloud are all independent user-centered systems. The tribe mainly shares the merchant's Hosting (Virtual and dedicated servers) products. Today we will conduct a simple test on the Vladivostok computer room in Russia.

Official website: https://gcorelabs.com/cn/hosting/vds/

Computer room and configuration

The VPS data center for this review is Vladivostok, Russia. The package has the minimum configuration of a single-core CPU, 512MB of memory, a 20GB hard drive, and a 200Mbps port, as shown below.

Basic test information

The merchant VPS host provides a vmmanager panel, which can be logged in with one click in the member center product management, or you can check the VMmanager panel login information in the VPS host activation email to log in. The functions provided by the panel are similar, including the commonly used restart, power on and off, system reinstallation, VNC, snapshot, etc.

IO and bandwidth information

Use two different one-key commands to complete the test. The test results are similar. Let's first look at the result after the first command is executed.

The above includes domestic and Japan/Singapore tests. Let’s take a look at another command test information below.

In general, the disk IO is average. It may be the problem with the package I purchased or the node. I also bought a computer in Hong Kong, which has much stronger IO. However, the bandwidth in Vladivostok is still sufficient.

Outbound Routing

I used China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom to test the routing lines from China to the host online.

From this outbound test, the access speed of China Telecom and China Unicom is good, but the delay of mobile users is high. In the next article, I will share a suitable node for mobile users o(*￣︶￣*)o

Backhaul Routing

Use the command to automatically test the three networks on the return trip and paste the results directly. For different regions and lines, please slide the slider on the right side of the code box to view the complete content.

Ping Test

Using IPIP.NET to test the results in the whole country and the Asia-Pacific region, the domestic delay of China Telecom/China Unicom is better than that of China Mobile.

Official website: https://gcorelabs.com

After testing, the Vladivostok data center is similar to the previously tested Khabarovsk (click to view test information). Domestic Telecom and Unicom broadband access is good, while China Mobile is relatively poor. The merchant has more than 30 data centers to choose from, and some are also mobile-friendly. The VPS hosting regular package provided by G-core starts at a minimum monthly payment of 3.25 euros, and supports PayPal, credit cards, Alipay and other payment methods.
