VPS3 review.

[Antony500]

Hey there,

I am today reviewing this VPS, the VPS3 that comes from Hostigation and FreeVPS Thank you soooo much for the VPS!

I am really happy with it, i installed nginx + PHP-FPM + MySQL with dmm's script, and thanks to Murderwrecker's assistance i've got all running at 64MB, and i installed WordPress too, you can take a look at it on http://antony500.co.cc
I will be running my own personal blog!

The VPS runs really smoothly, with WordPress too.
Here are some Benchs

Please read http://freevps.us/thread-4112.html and edit your review so it fits.

Just add a bit more like how you feel about it, is it fast for you? What do you plan to do, what kind of software you are going to use for your project and so on. Give a rating of the VPS and so on.

I added nopoints to your benchmarks as the rules require!

while antony didn't say what he is going to do with his vps, i argue he did give a rating and he did say how he felt about his new server.

Hi.

Yes, the VPS3 is very good. My record with it's speed test: 257MB/s.
My record with it's RAM using while nothing is running: 2MB. Tip: Use the 'top' command, and kill every unused processes.

We just want him to write a bit more.
