A blog running on 32 MB VPS

How does a 32MB look like: SecureDragon O32

Posted June 29, 2012, 12:10 pm in Benchmark

Long before IPXCore publish their 32MB VPS offer, SecureDragon already offering VPS with 32MB of RAM. Myself finally bought this one yesterday, and here's few benchmark for you:

It has access to one CPU

address sizes   : 38 bits physical, 48 bits virtual

It has 32MB RAM that burstable up to 64MB

It has great IO Speed

Akamaras' Bench Result

root@32mb:~# sh bench.sh

Conclusion

Besides their greater IO and Network Speed, SecureDragon also provide 16 IPv6 and I can automatically setup RDNS via SolusVM control panel. With almost $2 difference from IPXCore's ($4.17/quarter), SecureDragon's supposed perform better indeed. Joe obviously prepared for this offer, another thing that make me happy is they are provide me a Debian 6 Minimal.
