Is my host lying?
I recently noticed "cat /proc/cpuinfo" said I was getting 850Mhz per core, which is below the advertised frequency, a few days later they replied with this:

I looked about on the internet and found some information which contradicted what the host has said.

I don't know if I would say they're lying, I won't get into that. But I will show you an example of a Dual Hex E5 that runs @ 2.20Ghz
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430 0 @ 2.20GHz
stepping : 7
cpu MHz : 2199.869

Yeah, something is not right then. You only get 1 core at 850 MHz. If you would have 4 cores you should see this:
Code:model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz cpu MHz : 3400 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz cpu MHz : 3400 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz cpu MHz : 3400 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz cpu MHz : 3400

I'm looking at their website and I can't find anything about how much CPU power they guarantee. Also for $5.00 you can't really expect to get 100% of 4 cores. That's the entire Intel Xeon E3-1270 server
Their VPS plans seem to be equal share usage where the CPU frequency is evenly distributed across the VPS machines.█ Snoork Hosting - Enterprise Servers | DDoS Protected Network

I have double checked and they really do advertise 4 CPU Core / 100% on the $5.00 per month VPS. It's on the Xmas Promo VPS thought. It could be a spelling error or they offer the 4 cores on a fair share usage.

I think it's most likely a mistake on their part. Obviously it's not 100% and if it was it wouldn't be $5/month

$5 a month!
I'm sorry but for that price you are getting a lot already.
I pay €32(yes euros!) a month for this:
model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 1.2.0
stepping : 3
cpu MHz : 1994.999
Though for the content of my site only very few hosting are whiling to work with me.

They probably have the ondemand CPU frequency scaling compiled into the kernel. Doesn't SolusVM do this by default during setup? Can't recall any more... It's fixable though, if the provider's truly unaware of this.
