How VPSBenchmarks evaluates performance?
VPSBenchmarks reviews VPS plans through a series of independent performance tests designed to measure real-world hosting quality. These tests look at how a server responds under different workloads, including website requests, CPU tasks, disk activity, network transfers and long-duration performance checks.
Each category receives a grade based on benchmark results such as web runs, Sysbench, endurance tests, YABS, Fio and network transfer tests. These category grades are then used to calculate the overall score.
