AccuWeb.Cloud's performance report measures real cloud hosting performance on a standard 4 vCPU / 8 GB Cloud VPS — not just theoretical specifications. Using k6, sysbench, fio, and iperf3, we benchmark web load, CPU scaling, memory bandwidth, disk I/O, and private network latency across tested regions, including New York, with median results reported across five controlled runs. It is designed for teams comparing cloud hosting providers, evaluating Cloud VPS performance for production workloads, or validating how advertised infrastructure performs under real concurrent load.

Seven Key Benchmark Results

Every result below comes from a live test on a standard Cloud VPS instance, giving you a quick view of web, storage, memory, and network performance.

BenchmarkMeasured resultWhat it means
Web performance9,640 req/secHandles thousands of HTTP requests every second

Web load performance

Fast response even under increasing traffic

We gradually increased concurrent virtual users while monitoring throughput, response time and HTTP failures.

This is the same load profile most WordPress, Laravel and Node.js sites see during a traffic spike. See how it stacks up on our price & feature comparison page.

Web results are based on a lightweight static Nginx HTTP workload and should not be interpreted as equivalent performance for every application.

The sweet spot — 1,000 concurrent users
  • 9,640 requests every second
  • 7.09 ms P95 response time
  • 290,000+ successful requests in 30 seconds
  • 0% HTTP failures

Compute performance

Near-linear CPU scaling in this 4-vCPU benchmark

Need more headroom later? Vertical scaling adds vCPUs to an existing VM, while auto horizontal scaling adds whole new instances under sustained load.

CPU testResult
Single vCPU~1,710 events/sec
4 vCPU~6,793 events/sec
CPU scaling~3.97×
Near-linear CPU scaling

Moving from one vCPU to four vCPUs delivered almost 4× the processing throughput in our test. Additional compute resources translate efficiently into additional processing capability.

5 controlled runs · Median result shown
Memory performance

High-speed memory throughput

Memory bandwidth matters most for in-memory caches (Redis), database buffer pools, and anything running under fully managed hosting where we tune these settings for you.

Memory testResult
Read~30.3 GiB/s
Write~20.8 GiB/s

Memory tests were repeated multiple times using a working set large enough to reduce CPU-cache influence.

5 controlled runs · Median result shown
Storage performance

Fast reads, low-latency random I/O

Random I/O speed is what separates a snappy database from a slow one. Every VM ships with automated backup storage on top of this performance, at no extra setup cost.

Sequential performance
TestResult
Sequential read~390 MiB/s
Sequential write~261 MiB/s
Random I/O performance
TestResultP95
4K random read~13.1K IOPS~0.42 ms
4K random write~2.84K IOPS~0.45 ms

These measurements help represent workloads involving databases, applications, operating-system activity and large-file transfers.

Network performance

Low-latency private networking

Sub-millisecond VM-to-VM latency matters for multi-tier apps — an API server talking to a database, or app nodes behind a load balancer. See our full list of global data centers for region-to-region options.

Network testResult
Private VM-to-VM latency~0.26 ms
Packet loss0%
Configured VM bandwidth200 Mbps
Measured throughput~191 Mbps
DirectionSymmetric

Measured ~191 Mbps in both directions against the configured 200 Mbps limit, alongside very low VM-to-VM latency in the same test.

Behind every number

Enterprise-grade infrastructure, not a shared box

These benchmarks run on the same infrastructure every AccuWeb.Cloud customer gets — dedicated resources on Equinix Tier-3 data centers, backed by a team that's run this platform at scale for years.

How we tested

We prefer measured performance over theoretical claims

Step 01

Provision the environment

A 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 100 GB Cloud VPS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and AMD EPYC Milan hardware, plus a separate load-generator VM.

Step 02

Run the benchmark suite

k6 for web load, sysbench for CPU and memory, fio for storage, iperf3 for network — five runs each.

Step 03

Report the median

We publish the representative median result, including where performance degrades under stress.

A separate load-generator VM was used so that traffic generation did not consume resources on the VM being measured.

CPU, memory and key storage benchmarks were repeated multiple times, with representative or median results used to reduce the effect of unusual individual runs.
