Thought about Network testing and came up with this:
That's just a testing of peering.
Help us out then, I think we at ML need to come up with standard for testing Cloud.
And how is it peering ? cause peering means:
the exchange of data directly between Internet service providers, rather than via the Internet.I am using the same separate server of iperf on both nodes and both nodes are located in the same geolocation.
The point is you cannot test certain things. Such as network throughput and disk speed when it comes to cloud.
You can test throughput to your office. But again based on peering agreements, you could get get hugely varying results compared to someone on another ISP to the same cloud service.

Right, the base problem is that because you can't control everything, you really can't test cloud servers in a super meaningful way.
To some extent, this goes far beyond cloud servers and kind of applies to all systems that are shared or cross the Internet. It's a more general problem.

does vultr also needs to create root account with your instances ? i dont think i ever saw this.
Like Vultr secondary root cloud account ? with your installed system ? Btw the image below is from OVH
-
@emad-r can't need to as you can remove them. It doesn't even need to control root itself.

It is locked account actually, seems like it is only needed the first time

Will speedtest-cli test also wont count as an effective test ? wont it show you some of your limitations of your DL/UL

Here's the TurnkeyInternet.net results that I'm using, the T80 plan.
Turnkey Internet, 8 vCPU, 8GB RAM $20 (black friday special)
Single CPU: 1846
Multi-Core: 6715https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/9946852

Horrible results compared to Vultr, but for $20 a month...

The "for $20" only means so much if you get less. The RAM is good for that price, but the CPU is mediocre for that price. If you are RAM bound, this might be a "deal", if CPU bound, likely it isn't. Eight cores to get less performance than two elsewhere is bad, faster, fewer threads gives better overall performance.
No wonder their "standard" deal is 65% off!

Hetzner Cloud CX11 - 1vCPU - 2GB - 20GB - 2.49 Euro / Month
-
Assuming you're OK with having a server in Europe , it's hard to beat Hetzner Cloud for Price/Performance.

Those are great scores, what a price.

@scottalanmiller Here is the full pricing

Oh, and Hetzner Cloud supports Custom ISO's too - you just have a submit a ticket

I like the RAM and SSD storage... I'm actually RAM and storage bound, not CPU, so I'll stick with it.

Not bad at all. Dedicated or shared server?
