Hello, and welcome to my FastVM.io.

FastVM.io uses a very nice template for their website. This template is very intuative and shows all of their products (only vps as of now) in one page. Their pricing scheme is pretty good, It has some of the best prices for VPS servers. Their most basic server contains 4Gb of ram, 2 cores Intel®XEON® E5 @ 3.5GHz, 30 GB RAID 1+0 NVMe SSD, 2 x 1 Gbit Ports and 5 TB Bandwidth. I feel, for the €5 ($6.07 usd at time of writing) that this servers' cost to spec ratio is fair. To be honest, this is one of the best pricing schemes I have found in the vps hosting industry.

When I first glanced at their product, I was impressed by what they provide, their website, and their node specs. When I first stress tested their server with 2 core full load, 200 MB of ram, and IO.

The IO results, for download speeds, are quite ordinary.

The IO speeds for transfer etc are also not out of the ordinary either.

The specs from bench.sh are also included below, for some reason I had an extra 30GB added.

The specs of the node that I am on, (fastvm01) are quite impressive, they contain the following.

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 @ 3.50GHz 128GB DDR4 ECC Memory 2Gbps Uplink SSD NVMe

I would suggest for the cpu to be changed to an I9 7980XE. Yes, this is more expensive, but If hardware is owned, the return on investment will be much higher once you have fit quite an amount more people on the cpu than the Xeon.

The ram could also be increased if used on a duel socket cpu board. Lots of hosts use 256+GB boards, this is because, once more, return on investment. Yes, you are spending more, but eventually it will pay back at a very high rate.

Overall, I am not that impressed with this host. It does have good price to hardware specs, but if you are not getting a product which outshines of the other products, then the better price to spec is not worth it. It is worth it to get the best Performance rather than specs. Overall I rate FastVM.io a 8/10.

FastVM, this is to you, If you would like to increase that score, I would suggest investing in hardware smarter, increase networking speeds, and get better infrastructure. Try to invest in a paid panel, not solusvm.

Regards, Tristan.

FastVM Those IO speeds are not looking like NVME to me. NVME SSD's average around ~2000MB/s, and with RAID 10 that would be even higher. I'm not making any accusations, but I'd make sure to look into your configuration if you are using NVME.

Best Regards,

In ways, I agree. Potentially high end HDD or low end SSD

We have nvme and ssd storage, depending on which server you are activated. Furthermore, limits on reading and writing are clearly applied for security reasons.

Security reasons?

What're you securing that requires limited read / write speeds?

But are you always bothering? Even in live chat on website you come to annoy.
Think about what you have. We have a datacenter.

FastVM it is a legit question. What does Read/Write have to do with security? This stinks of lies.

No way this is NVME. Why broadcast the fact you have nvme if throttling is in effect. This is false advertising.

FastVM owning their own data center seems a bit fishy to have just started a few months ago.

I have no intention of starting to trash yourselves publically, but here we go:

1. Regarding your live chat (to which you banned me immediately without even answering my question) I simply asked for confirmation of ownership of your data centre.

2. I'm bothering you because you make literally 0 sense regarding your read/write limits for "security" reasons.

3. It doesn't matter whether you own your data centre or not, doesn't excuse you for lackluster disk speeds.

Either way, I am still waiting to figure out your reasoning behind your limiting Read/Writes for "Security" FastVM
