I just bought for a month an extremely cheap VPS with 16 GB RAM and 6 cores(from Contabo)
Now my question is, how can I get some benchmark results in order to compare it with other VPSes like Hostinger provides?
I did a Geekbench benchmark on it and the results can be seen here: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15852309
The problem with Geekbench is that I feel it's not really web oriented as the scores are influenced by the GPU as well.
What should I use in order to compare the VPSes between them? Would the plan be enough to host a Magento 2 website / possibly more?
For webserver performance the Network, Disk (random read) and CPU performance are the most important factors.
I like to benchmark and compare each one separately.
For Disk I/O performance, can use sysbench:
apt install sysbench
sysbench fileio --file-num=4 prepare
sysbench fileio --file-num=4 --file-test-mode=rndrw run
For CPU performance can use stress-ng:
apt install stress-ng
stress-ng -t 5 -c 2 --metrics-brief
-c 2 uses 2 logical processors. Adjust if necessary.
For network performance can use speedtest-cli:
apt install speedtest-cli
speedtest-cli
Example output:
# sysbench fileio --file-num=4 --file-test-mode=rndrw run
<skip>
Throughput:
read, MiB/s: 45.01
written, MiB/s: 30.00
# stress-ng -t 5 -c 2 --metrics-brief
