Hi all, I have been with my hosting provider for a while but I am making some decisions around whether to move to another provider or stay with them.
Essentially I have been looking at unix bench results and a few others and I am not quite happy with the amount of scoring I am getting out of unix bench for CPU.
I was wondering what others use to benchmark there VPS' and if you would give any rating to a unix bench result?
The server itself is quite good and has the right amount of disk io under load which is good but I am slightly concerned with the low results on unix bench.
