    Initial Review of Misterhost.de

    This is an initial review of MisterHost.de. MisterHost is a German budget seller, offering reasonable plans at reasonable prices with large amounts of bandwidth. I am on a XEN 1024M Intel i7 950 Node. This host is a great provider for a VPN, Proxy, etc. It is, however, not good for I/O tasks (such as high traffic sites). I am pleased with the host.
    Connection Speed:10/10
    Ping:9/10
    Support:7/10 (Takes a couple hours, but is helpful and knowledgeable)
    I/O:3/10 (PAINFULLY slow I/O speeds)
    Price:9/10

    About a week now. I just wanted to share the benchmarks for other potential buyers.

    I'd definitely raise a ticket about the I/O…

    Problems were solved. Speeds are the same, but support is 10/10, and I/O is 8.5/10 (~100-110MB/s)

  6. #6
    what is the best method to test I/O? I would like to do this on my vps too

  7. #7
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && rm test

  8. #8
    Is this a good value: 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 8.6083 seconds, 125 MB/s

    sorry for offtopic

  9. #9
    Yes, 125 MB/s is very good value (above average I would say) but don't hammer node too much with regular "dd" tests, please
