Test Performance Benchmark on Linode VPS

What is Linode VPS

Linode as known as a cheap VPS hosting provider in the World, similar to Vultr and DigitalOcean,  their VPS prices starting at just $5/month with 1 GB RAM – 1 CPU Core – 20GB SSD Storage – 1TB Transfer. If you’ve never experienced the quality of service at Linode, use the Linode coupon code $100 free.

In this article, I will evaluate the performance of two different Linode VPS plan with the test scripts, including the Bench.sh, Serverscope, TocDo.net.
