Review PioHost: Nama baru tapi memuaskan
Sudah lama saya tidak membeli layanan VPS baru, selain karena sudah cukup juga jarang yang membuat saya tergoda (dari sisi harga dan reputasi providernya). Tapi semuanya berubah hari ini saat melihat tawaran Piohost yang merupakan nama baru. Asumsi saya kalau bagus tidak ada ruginya, kalau kurang anggap saja sumbangan. 😀
Yang saya angkut dari Piohost adalah VPS Special Offer dengan spesifikasi berikut:
- 4 CPU Cores
- 1.5GB RAM
- 2GB Burstable ram
- 50GB Disk Space
- 1000GB Bandwidth
Lokasinya di Wigan, UK. Virtualisasi OpenVZ. Seharga 10 GBP (sekitar 12.5 USD) per tahun disini: https://piohost.co.uk/cart.php?a=add&pid=78 dan mestinya limited edition. 😀 Saya install CentOS 7.

power management:Kemudian mari kita cek struktur storagenya:

Bagaimana kemampuannya?
Mari kita intip dengan berbagai macam benchmark. 🙂 Seperti biasanya diawali dengan bench.sh untuk informasi secara umum:

----------------------------------------------------------------------Yang keren itu I/Onya sampai 1GB, tampaknya ini HDD dengan SSD Cached. Tepatnya Raid-5 SAS Drives. Dan untuk bandwidthnya ke Asia malah cukup bagus, agak terpikir bisa jadi alternatif web server yang bagus daripada US. 😀 Yang pasti pingnya saya tes dapat sekitar 190-200ms. Termasuk cukup untuk fungsinya.
Selanjutnya kita tes performa sistem secara keseluruhan dengan UnixBench:

System Benchmarks Index Score 3178.8Skornya malah lebih baik dari harapan saya, dimana untuk single core 1211 dan multi core 3178. Bisa diajak kerja keras nih. 😀
Tapi saya lebih terkesima akan skor benchmark CPUnya yang menggunakan Geekbench. Untuk 1 core dapat 3113 dan multi core 9159, ini yang tertinggi hasilnya untuk review saya tahun ini. Istimewa jadinya dan lengkapnya bisa dicek disini: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/2288361
Kesimpulan
Secara spesifikasi, performa, harga dan konektivitas bisa dikatakan sangat memuaskan. Masalah OpenVZ dan KVM itu preferensi saja, dan kalau dapatnya seperti ini memang worth it. Cuma kekurangannya ini adalah provider baru saja dan bagaimana kestabilannya nanti. Semoga saja konsisten dalam pelayanan dan kualitasnya.
