You can use the benchmark script bench-2 from github.

Code:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hidden-refuge/bench-sh-2/master/bench.sh
bash bench.sh

Use a program like sysbench and compare your results with some other benchmark. I will publish my results to let you compare your servers.

Does server location matter?

For the bandwidth benchmark yes, because you have to use a local server to test the network speed.
You can use the speedtest cli for that : https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli

BillEssley · May 21, 2017

I found a cool thread on this forum https://forumweb.hosting/14615-vps-speed-test.html regarding to this question.

I am getting some useful info from this link

You can test speed drive , if it's KVM try hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

Also you can test Internet speed, use wget and some large file.

and use this script https://github.com/mgutz/vpsbench

Matt Eberlie · May 22, 2017

You might want to use speedtest cli or iftp on your vps to do the things.

AlphaNine Vini · May 23, 2017

You can ask for the processor name and ask if the provider don't over sell the VPS's on a dedicated server.

Medhahosting · May 26, 2017

@cacusalhost provided excellent information that is accurate.If you want test from outside of the server use speed test mini

racksandcloud · Jun 4, 2017

You may test download speed by downloading any test files to the server or use the speedtest cli script from github.

https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli

Dewlance · Jun 4, 2017

As suggested by many members, I also use speedtest-cli which is a python script, After downloading script to your server. Run script using python command like "py speedtest-cli" or "python speedtest-cli"

For disk test, You can use "dd" command which is so easy to run.

Where is this script?

I would check the speed of my VPS if possible.

Would you mind sharing many details for this?

Command: 2 commands

wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py
chmod +x speedtest-cli

Then run "py speedtest-cli" or maybe "python speedtest-cli" (Without quota) and wait for few minute, It will show result.

It works with the second command

[root@myvps ~]# python speedtest-cli

It is a good way to check vps speed.

Thank you

Yes, server location do matter. IF the location is far from your targeted audience . They website may load slow on their location. You can have a CDN service to have your static content delivered from a CDN service.
