VPS Evaluation

Charityhost – Texas 500GB Storage -2C1G+1GPort – $1.25/Mo

Supplier background

The domain name was registered in 2022, and the earliest blog post was published in July 2023. However, most of the online marketing traces (mainly on Facebook) and official “verified supplier” status on LowEndTalk (LET) appeared in 2024. Please proceed with caution: choose monthly billing and maintain regular backups to reduce risk.
For the current promotional activities, please refer to our previous reports. This review fulfilled our testing commitment in that article.

Product specifications

Basic configuration: 1 x Xeon E5-2690 v3, 1GB DDR4, 500GB HDD, 1.5TB bandwidth, 1GbE public/10GbE internal
Actual allocation: 2 vCPU cores, 1GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 1Gbps port, 4.5TB of data per month, 1 IPv4+/64 IPv6
control panel: Virtualizor

Performance Appraisal

Memory benchmark test

DDR4 performance meets industry standards. 1GB RAM allocation can fully play a role under load

The first line shows the single threaded read and write speed of RAM, and the second line shows the multi-threaded read and write speed of RAM, both of which are sequential read and write speeds

– our stress test triggered OOM (Out-of-Memory) protection at 600MB usage

Storage I/O

Sequential read/write speeds reached 350MB/s with 1MB block size, outperforming competitors like Interserve’s 1TB HDD offering (recently discussed in our community). While 4K random I/O is predictably limited on mechanical drives, these results position Charityhost as a top-tier HDD-based storage VPS.

CPU Evaluation

The E5-2690v3 delivers moderate but respectable performance for a budget VPS, achieving single-core/multi-core scores of 647/1262 in GeekBench5 benchmarks.

achieving single-core/multi-core scores of 785.9/1432.2 in UnixBench benchmarks.

These results position it in the upper mid-tier range, notably outperforming many competitors hovering around 600-point scores.

The sustained testing revealed two critical insights:

  1. Overselling Control: The results suggest reasonable overselling practices. Despite prolonged stress testing over multiple days, no throttling mechanisms were triggered.
  2. Resource Policy: The provider maintains relaxed resource constraints – our high-intensity benchmarking (including sustained 90%+ CPU load) incurred no service interruptions or warnings, indicating permissive CPU allocation policies.


Network Performance

PingTest

peak hour tests exhibited exceptional global connectivity:
• 0% packet loss across 85% of monitoring nodes
• Minor 2% packet loss limited to Central Asian routes

 

Download&Upload

Continuing my opinion on the ping test, the vast majority of international speed measurement nodes have performed well. The average speed of nodes in the Americas is estimated to be around 600, those in Europe around 300, and those in East Asia around 200. Tests have shown that domestic telecommunications nodes can run up to 600m download and 233 upstream (note that this is for the server-side, and the corresponding should be reversed).
In the arena of 1g bandwidth, if anyone has a need, they can install some TCP tuning tools to grab more.

 

BGP&streaming media

BGP Configuration Analysis
The BGP details indicate superior international interconnection due to:
• Connectivity with multiple Tier 1 providers
• Extensive peering agreements
IP Address Characteristics
The “US native IP” (a non-standard term generally implying IP registration/usage alignment):
• Whois registration matches actual deployment geography
• Maintains IP-to-location consistency
So, it can browse many cross-border streaming platforms without barriers (and the location is in the US)

If there is a demand for low-priced and large hard drives, you can consider purchasing based on comprehensive evaluation. However, since they are not old merchants for many years, data still needs to be backed up frequently.
