Note: This trial is "Off rankings" which means it is not included in the Screener and it is not considered for Best VPS rankings. "Off rankings" trials may either be previews where the VPS has been provisioned by the provider specifically for VPSBenchmarks, they may belong to a plan that exceeds the maximum number of plans that can be listed per provider or they're too old.
On this page, you'll find:
- Price and specifications for the m5d.xlarge plan.
- The grades that summarize its performance in 5 categories based on the benchmarks results.
- Links to the detailed benchmarks results that can be compared to other providers and other plans.

Grades
Grades are calculated by combining results from web, sysbench, endurance, yabs (geekbench, fio, iperf3) and network transfers tests.
Grade A is best, grade F is worst. Follow the letter links to find the test results backing the grade.
Overall Score: 54 (Price Weighted)

VPS Instance Provisioning Time
It took 40 seconds from the time the order took place to the time this instance was ready to accept connections.
Test Results
- Web Runs: performance of a web application running on the server with locally generated load. Latencies and max request rate.
- Sysbench: CPU, disk IO and memory speed tests.
- Endurance: output over time of a long running cpu intensive application.
- Network Transfers: maximum HTTP download and upload speeds between the VPS and servers located nearby.
- Yabs: test suite that includes Geekbench CPU tests, Fio for disk IO and Iperf3 for network transfers.
Web Runs
During the Web Run tests, a web application is loaded with locally generated HTTP requests at various rates. We measure latencies and rate of errors at each load level.
Review and compare Amazon EC2 - m5d.xlarge web runs with other cloud providers.
Sysbench
We ran Sysbench tests on this VPS, including CPU tests, random and sequential, read and write IO tests and memory tests.
Review and compare all Sysbench numbers for the Amazon EC2 - m5d.xlarge VPS plan.
Network Transfers
We have performed large file transfers from the Amazon EC2 - m5d.xlarge VPS, both downloads and uploads and we measured the speed of the transfers.
The transfers involve multiple files, 10 threads and last for at least 10 seconds at maximum speed. The transfers are repeated 4 times from different nearby servers and only the fastest transfer is considered in grades and comparisons.
Sustained CPU Endurance Run
Can your VPS handle 24 hours of sustained CPU load without flinching? How much can it handle? Does the provider throttle your CPU after a while?
