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: 45 (Price Weighted)
Review the list of metrics that the grades above are calculated from.
VPS Instance Provisioning Time
It took 1 hour 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.
- Live Web Tests: latencies of a web application with live traffic.
- Remote timings: latencies of a web application measured from 4 different continents.
Live Web
Web performance is measured locally on the VPS and includes Rails app response times to live web traffic as well as system metrics.

Remote Timings
Response times for this VPS were continuously measured from 5 locations and 4 continents in the world. Each measure includes DNS resolution time, connection time, TLS handshake time and server response time.
Review and compare all Remote Timings numbers for the HostPapa - VPS Plus VPS plan.
Network Transfers
We have performed large file transfers from the HostPapa - VPS Plus 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?
