Test Performance Benchmark on DigitalOcean VPS

Reviews DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean has been on the cheap VPS market for a long time and is used by a lot of users in the world with many positive reviews. After more than 1 year of continuous use and experience, today I also have some VPS DigitalOcean assessments of service quality as well as performance benchmark of 2 VPS plan used,  including the Bench.sh, Serverscope, TocDo.net.

Currently, I introduced 50 free credit coupons to try vps trial. If you do not have a VPS server, register now, this is a good opportunity.
