Yes, I tried a new VPS. And I would like to show you how fast it is.
DigitalOcean has SSD for storage. I just ordered a 512MB VPS, with 20GB space.
Let us see the results of it.

Oh, I forgot to mention it is one CPU only. So the score 642. It is higher than any other VPS tested before.
Am I mentioned it is only $5 a month? Compare with the price and performance. I do recommend Digital Ocean VPS.
