Re-testing VMHaus Los Angeles location

2 months ago i benchmarked VMHaus servers at their London and Los Angeles locations post here. The Los Angeles location was poor in its I/O speed Which is the disk read and write speed.

Today i returned to see if things had improved. I couldn’t deploy a $3 per month server but could create a $5 per month one.

There we have it, More than triple the speed than what was previously had. Not sure if it was an overloaded server when I first tested but the results were poor. Anyway at least this time we can see that the VMHuas Los Angeles location can get decent I/O speeds.
