ColoCrossing ❯ 3GB Valentines KVM VPS
ColoCrossing is a large American company that owns and operates data centers in several US cities and in Dublin, Ireland. From these data centers they offer VPS and VDS virtualized servers at some of the lowest prices in America, with an emphasis on cheap high-bandwidth VPSs with up to 20TB of monthly data transfer. It is worth noting though that the performance of their Intel CPUs on shared servers has been complained about, and it is commonly recommended to install Linux instead of Windows on these VPSs to avoid overloading the CPU.
VPS Description:
This VPS, located in the U.S.A., uses KVM virtualization and offers two shared Intel CPU cores, 3072 MB of RAM, and 50 GB of SSD storage. It supports both Linux and unlicensed Windows installations.
The 3072 MB of RAM and two shared Intel CPU cores make this VPS suitable for handling moderate resource applications. The SSD storage ensures quick data access, making it ideal for small to medium-scale applications, lightweight databases, and other data-intensive tasks.
This VPS is well-suited for use as a seedbox for torrenting, providing ample storage and high bandwidth for downloading and uploading files efficiently. Developers can leverage custom ISO support for installing specific Linux distributions and software stacks, beneficial for running containers with Docker or Kubernetes.
This VPS can also efficiently run mail servers thanks to the open port 25 and rDNS support, making it suitable for handling moderate to high email traffic. It is suitable for deploying personal VPN servers using software like WireGuard, accommodating multiple connections with adequate resources. Additionally, it can host file storage and sharing solutions like Nextcloud or Seafile, benefiting from the quick access provided by SSD storage.
Other potential uses include hosting content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, which can handle moderate traffic efficiently. Lightweight data analytics or monitoring tools such as Grafana and Prometheus can also run effectively on this VPS, utilizing the available RAM and CPU resources.
The generous bandwidth allowance of 20480 GB per month and the port speed of 1.0 Gbps support moderate to high traffic applications. However, the lack of IPv6 support may limit its compatibility with certain network services. The support for IPv4 ensures basic network connectivity.
Overall, this VPS provides a reliable environment for a variety of Linux- and Windows-based applications and services, supporting moderate resource demands within its specifications.
