Server Speed - Please Review and Test

Discussion in 'Reviews' started by GRIM, Nov 16, 2006.

    I just upgraded to my first dedicated server from one of my VPS accounts that was constantly down.

    All I am wanting to know is does the server appear 'fast' to you?

    The link is not even my site, just a site I host for a DP member.

    Click and load the home page, browse, as little or as much as you want.

    I just really want the server stressed a bit, I want to know if speed is good on your end ;)

    Thank you in advance.

    Please Test Me!

    It looks like it’s extremely fast. For me it took less than a second to be displayed.

    Thank you Kassi and master06, green has been given ;)

    It is a dedicated server, I was sick of slow load times from reseller package so I moved to VPS and still was not satisfied so now this is my first dedicated. I want to make sure it's moving good as I plan on possibly buying 1 or 2 more dedicated servers in the near future.

    Thank you again!

    The website is fast loading, but isn't vps giving you the right option? I've got a vps running nicely (powervps), but I can imagine dedicated is a better option to grow.

    Good luck with your forums.



    [offtopic]can you PM me information about advertising at your forum, thx.[/offtopic]

    It's not my forum ;) You'd have to pm kalina over at the forum.

    and Powervps is who I'm running from! They have f'd my sites up so bad over the past few weeks I want nothing to do with them! :mad:

    You just stick a vbulletin in there and watch them mess up royally. Have you tried running a vbulletin on it? I think for the most part it was fine for Grim til webtalkforums came along, lol. We had a hell of a time til I finally moved the vbulletin 2 nights ago.

    Thanks Grim. :eek: :)

    Yes it was 'ok' but it was always slow. I couldn't even ssh my backups, it would stall out every time. The new hardware node they moved me to is better, it still doesn't excuse all of the f ups they did and then refusing to at least admit to their mistakes! That's what pisses me off the most, at least admit to when you f up! :mad:

    hi!
    your server is not very fast for me(Netherlands)
    i get 120kbps on the bin file on a 3 mb line, and the page loaded in 5 seconds, but it's fast enough i guess:) it's faster than my shared hosting:)

    Thanks.

    I think currently that site is being forwarded in a way by the old vps which may cause a slight delay for those of you outside of the US. - Slight delay for initial loading, causing outside of the US to be even slower.

    thanks ;)

    US, 100 mb.

    I'm not to super worried on file download speed, more how pages themselves load but was cool to test

    thank you!
