Did not expect that

I know that they were mainly a Shared Hosting provider. Remember, a VPS is not necessarily a VM, it could also be just a Container, check with them if they offer KVM as "Servers" or just OpenVZ and LXC. Ctrl+F can't find "KVM" on their VPS page.

They do allow Windows as an alternative OS, that rules out openVZ and LXC.

I talked to their support and they replied that they have 500Mbps unmetered ports. As per support you can saturate 500Mbps fully and unlimited data. That sounds too good to be true. That's why asked for suggestion. Mainly i use buyvm and letbox. Planning to use fasthosts one for rclone transfers.

This makes the pricing look great.

Only one way to find out. Don't forget to leave a benchmark for the community
