Background
I had said earlier in the year about my decision to slow down on the number of reviews and benchmarks that I run for VPS. Earlier this year, I was approached by tomasu to review/ post my experience with their service for VPS'es. I agreed.

There was a bit of a back and forth in communication because of other commitments for both of us. Not to mention a Kiss of Death (sort of) by Lady Corona, and my hospitalisation in early March. Finally, it was in April 2021 when I got the access to both the servers. I was thinking of reviewing one location (Singapore) but turns out that there were two: Singapore and Munich.

In this post
I will talk about my experiences about account setting up the account, Configuring the Virtual Private Servers, working with the VPS and in general about the experiences with Webhosting24. Based on some of the comments from users on both the green forums (here and OGF), they seem to be an old hand in these circles. Some users immediately recognised tomazu and started commenting and complimenting on the quality of their services. So I think if you've been around the web hosting forums for some time, you may know them. If you are a novice to the LE world, probably, it's a good time to go ahead and say hello to Webhosting24.

You can check out their past offers here and here.

In my experience so far, communication with them has been warm, and polite. One even included an apology- because they were with family during Easter. I've been a family first guy, so that resonated well. ¹

Down to Brass Tacks
Here, I will talk about account setup, configuring the servers.
I created my account sent the details to tomazu here on LES. Setting up the account was a pretty easy process, and they quickly added two virtual private servers to my account for the testing and review. Based on that, I spent a couple of weeks, poking around the specifications are trying to understand the provider. That is, the company and some other trivia. Then I set off working on the machines.

Specs for the two servers:
Munich VPS had the following specs:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4
2 GB RAM
40 GB Disk

The Singapore VPS had these specs:

1 AMD Ryzen 9 3900X @ 3.80+ GHz
Fair Share CPU Usage
2048 MB Memory
30 GB NVMe Storage (40 GB with annual payment)
500 GB Premium Bandwidth (600 GB with annual payment) @ 1Gbit/s
1 IPv4 Address
1 /48 IPv6 Subnet

This offer certainly caused some excitement both on LES and OGF. This was also around the time when tomazu posted the Easter offer of 65 euros a year for 4 core AMD Ryzen with NVMe, certainly a very tempting offer. I was so close to ordering one for myself, but thankfully (or regretfully?) I did not take it up. In fact, there was an opportunity to pick it up later as well, which I also passed.

The Benchmark results for the Singapore VPS:
https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/61530/#Comment_61530

Prior to that, during one of the chats tomazu had asked what I thought of data centers in Singapore to them. Names, recommendations if any. This was probably a few weeks before they were looking to offer VPS from Singapore. I did make my suggestions and recommendations but I thought it was more prudent for the existing providers to comment. There has been a flurry of offers from Singapore location in recent months (rather, over the past year)[https://lowendspirit.com/offers-for-vps-hosting-in-singapore/] and recently by Contabo. I always believe in "the more, the merrier" and at the end of the day, the market picks their favourites.

A B2B (business to business) perspective over a B2C (Business to Consumer) one would server them better. And by extension, the LE* community.

The nuts and bolts
Setting up an account was extremely easy. Setting up a VPS was also actually done by tomasu so I didn't have much role to play there. The benchmarks that I ran were the usual suspects,YABS, bench.monster, and posted a couple of results on the Green Forums. They did cause some excitement !

During a month of testing - mostly 'breaking' the VPS configuration, reinstalling, using the scripts for Panels, iso...etc. the network quality and uptime were impressive. And then finally,
after letting the machines run for about a month time, It was time to say goodbye to the test units. I think I will keep the one in Singapore, definitely much closer home in terms of latency. I thank the provider for this.

Final thoughts
Number one, I like the fact that communication was clear. There were periods of absence from both of us because of some other commitments taking time up. Keeping in touch, during this period was a very positive thing. It's not just like a "take my VPS and show me the numbers and we're done". Unfortunately I had this experience with some providers in the past. Needless to say, you will not find my reviews on their service anywhere.

Some of the other users have also commented on the friendly, warm approach, from the provider. So all in all I think it's worth a try. You can definitely start with the starter plan (10x10x10) if you have any misgivings about a new about an unfamiliar provider, and scale up from there. I will be posting a follow up review, maybe a six month review of the Singapore VPS, down the line.

Notes:
1.This is a voluntary, unbiased review, in exchange for use of the VPS for the year. None of the 7 of 9 stuff.

2. The VPs now has Yunohost and it is running fine. Will post screenshots once my "image compression and consolidation" process is completed. Ironically, out of 15,000 odd images I optimised this week, over 80 percent with podcasting, Webhosting or travel. NO PORN. What has my life come to!

3. I had meant to publish the above post on my blog 2 weeks ago. I think I messed up the "Auto Scheduler" and the post did not get published. This is a user (my) error, not the program.
   Therefore, posting it here- since it may benefit a wider community.

4. when I searched for Benchmark results for Webhosting24, came across a couple of results posted by other users: 10x10x10 special here @arirang and here. @Neoon Thought the more, the merrier.

5. Did minor edits for typo's and clean up.

Webhosting24 Roadmap:
In the second quarter of 2021 we plan to further expand our American server locations, so that we will have three active main hubs (Munich - our main hub in the EU, Singapore - our main hub in Asia and New York or Miami, which will become our main hub in the Americas). From a software and bundle perspective we are looking at offering reseller packages with DirectAdmin and once all three main hubs are active, we will activate internal networking and many other features like BGP- and anycast services.
