Conclusion

Detailed Breakdown of RackNerd VM (Toronto)

Based on the benchmark data, here is a detailed breakdown of the RackNerd VM in Toronto, including its pros, cons, a final conclusion, and suggestions for its use.

Server Specifications

The server is a RackNerd KVM VPS special deal located in Toronto, Canada. It features an Intel Xeon Gold 5118 CPU with 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, 20 GB of PURE SSD RAID-10 storage, and 2 TB of monthly bandwidth. It runs on Debian 12.


Pros

  • Fast Network Speeds: The server demonstrates excellent network performance, especially for a Toronto location. Speedtest Global results from Bench.sh show a local download speed of 849.34 Mbps and an upload speed of 862.48 Mbps. Network tests to distant locations like New York (725 Mbits/sec download, 884 Mbits/sec upload) and London (789 Mbits/sec upload) are also very strong.
  • Dedicated CPU Resources: The mpstat analysis shows 0.00% steal time, which indicates that the host node is not oversold and provides stable, dedicated CPU performance.
  • Good Disk I/O: The PURE SSD RAID-10 storage provides good I/O performance, with an average speed of 628.7 MB/s from the Bench.sh script. The YABS test also shows strong mixed read/write speeds, reaching up to 2.84 GB/s for 1m block sizes.
  • Included Swap: The server includes a 1.0 GB swap space, which can help prevent stability issues if the 1 GB of RAM is fully utilized.
  • Generous Bandwidth: The 2 TB of monthly premium bandwidth is generous for a server with these specifications.

Cons

  • Extremely Low CPU Performance: The CPU performance is the server’s main weakness. The Geekbench 6 single-core score is only 677, and the multi-core score is an even lower 592. This is significantly lower than typical scores for similar servers and indicates that the CPU is not well-suited for any demanding tasks, especially multi-core workloads.
  • Inconsistent Network Speeds: While many network routes are fast, there are some inconsistencies, such as a very low download speed to Amsterdam (1.98 Mbps). Download speeds to Sao Paulo (168 Mbits/sec) and Los Angeles (205 Mbits/sec) are also much lower than the upload speeds to the same locations.
  • Limited Resources: With only 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM, this server has very limited resources, making it unsuitable for running multiple applications or any services that require significant processing power or memory.

Final Conclusion

The RackNerd VM in Toronto is a budget-friendly option that provides a very stable environment with fast network speeds and good disk I/O, especially to nearby regions. However, its major drawback is the exceptionally poor CPU performance, which makes it a poor choice for any task that requires significant processing power, whether single-threaded or multi-threaded. This server is best suited for light-duty applications such as a simple website, a small file server, or as a VPN endpoint, where the high bandwidth and I/O speeds can be leveraged while the weak CPU is not a bottleneck. It is not recommended for any form of development, database hosting, or computationally intensive tasks.


Suggestions

Given the server’s specific strengths and weaknesses, here are some suggestions for its ideal use cases:

  • Static Website Hosting: Its fast disk I/O and generous bandwidth make it suitable for hosting a static website or a small, low-traffic blog where CPU usage is minimal.
  • Personal VPN Endpoint: The strong network speeds to and from North America and Europe make it an excellent choice for a personal VPN server.
  • File Sync/Backup Server: With good disk I/O and generous bandwidth, it could be used for a personal backup solution or a file synchronization service where the main bottle neck is disk and network speed, not CPU.
  • Lightweight Docker Containers: It could run very simple, single-threaded Docker containers that have low CPU and memory requirements.
  • Testing and Development (Non-Intensive): It could be used for basic testing and development environments for non-demanding projects, as long as you are aware of the CPU limitations.
