Vultr Hosting: London Benchmark

A quick and rudimentary benchmark of Vultr Hosting’s London region/location. More as a personal note than anything — could perhaps be useful for other people as well. I’ve had this particular VPS for almost two months and it has been up for 58 days so far.

I use this VPS specifically for IRCd, linked to my main node: irc.k0nsl.org. That’s about it.

Here’s those rudimentary benchmarks. Enjoy!
