Vultr US Silicon Valley Data Center VPS Simple Test

I haven't shared information about Vultr for a long time. I had some balance in my account after recharging it before, so I decided to open a VPS for testing. This time I chose the Silicon Valley data center in the United States and set up the minimum configuration for simple record. The advantages of Vultr are also obvious. The price is relatively not high, and the balance can be deleted and refunded at any time. It is most suitable for low-cost practice or testing, emergency use, etc. Of course, long-term use is also no problem. It has been established for more than 10 years and provides hourly VPS merchants. There are more than 30 data centers around the world to choose from, and it supports recharge methods such as Alipay, PayPal, and credit cards.

Package Information

Here I list Cloud Compute's Regular Cloud Compute series products. You can also choose independent resource cloud servers, such as AMD EPYC+NVMe series.

Host Configuration

The VPS configuration is as shown below: single-core CPU, 1GB memory, 25GB hard disk, operating system is CentOS7.9, IPv4+IPv6

PHP probe (valid for 5 days): http://45.63.92.210/p.php

Basic Tests

Vultr uses a self-developed member center to manage hosts. All information and operations are clear at a glance. You can also purchase additional IPs, snapshots/backups, etc. after placing an order.

IO/Bandwidth Test

The host was basically tested using the most commonly used one-click package. Below is the IO and bandwidth information for some regions.

Next, we use speedtest to test the bandwidth for international access.

Although it is a US VPS, I still did a bandwidth test for access from Asia.

Below are the CPU, memory and disk IO test results.

Outbound routing test

China Telecom outbound routing, conventional Telecom 163

Unicom 169, AS4837

Mobile CMI, if we compare the three networks, the latency of mobile is also the highest

Backhaul routing test

Vultr's Silicon Valley VPS has the same outbound and inbound routes for the three domestic networks, all of which are ordinary routes.

The specific routes of the three-network backhaul can also be seen in the one-key package results below

 Test the areas and lines passed by China Telecom/China Unicom/China Mobile in turn. The core program comes from ipip.net or nexttrace. Please be aware!

Latency Test

Because it is a US VPS, we tested not only domestically, but also in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. We selected 953 nodes around the world to test the latency. In China, the latency of China Mobile and China Unicom is acceptable, but that of China Mobile is a bit higher.

In general, Vultr's advantages and disadvantages are quite obvious. The advantages are that there are many optional computer rooms, many machine hardware and configurations to choose from, and they can be deleted at any time, which is very flexible to use out of the box; the disadvantages are that there are so many computer rooms, and there are no lines specifically optimized for mainland China, including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, etc. in Asia, and the latency is relatively high. Before I opened the US VPS, I also tried to create two node hosts in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. Like the US nodes, the machine disk IO performance is very strong and the bandwidth is very large, but the local telecommunications latency is relatively high.
