Cara Mengukur Benchmark VPS dengan Script Freevps.us – Setiap menyewa VPS, kita pasti penasaran tentang performa VPS itu. Banyak dari kita was-was dan tidak tahu seberapa maksimal performanya, tak jarang orang-orang yang terjebak dengan promo VPS murah dengan spesifikasi tinggi, namun masuk dalam satu server yang oversell, disk I/O yang rendah, serta network speed yang lemot.

Salah satu test simpel yang bisa dipakai adalah dengan menggunakan benchmark script dari freevps.us. Script ini dieksekusi di terminal/putty. Untuk menjalankan ini, kamu cuma butuh module wget, silahkan instal dulu jika belum ada.

Bila sudah siap, login ke VPSmu dan jalankan perintah berikut:

wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash

Proses akan berjalan otomatis, tunggu saja hingga proses selesai untuk melihat hasilnya.

Seperti yang terlihat pada hasil benchmark diatas, performa disk I/O teratas dipegang oleh VPS DigitalOcean, sedangkan untuk network speed dipegang oleh VPS Vultr. Kedua provider diatas menggunakan SSD disk sebagai media penyimpanannya, seharusnya secara teoritis kecepatannya tidak jauh beda. Entah, mungkin ada faktor-faktor lain yang ikut mempengaruhi hasil.

VPS terendah dari test diatas adalah Kihihosting. Provider baru yang berlokasi di Kanada ini menawarkan harga paling murah (sejauh yang kutahu) paket VPS dengan virtualisasi KVM. Namun memang hardware dan networknya masih jauh dibawah rata-rata. Aku tidak terlalu kecewa sih sebenarnya, prinsip yang kupegang, “you get what you paid for“, di sisi support, kuakui Kihihosting pantas diacungi jempol.

Punya hasil benchmark juga? silahkan berbagi di kolom komentar, sertakan juga nama providernya dan paket yang diambil ya.
