Hello folks,
As per my post http://forums.deftechgroup.com/showthread.php?t=199 i had the opportunity to test a P0 cPanel and to compare it with a P1 cPanel.
Thanks to Tom and Charles to have taken the time to set that up.
Now, you are not forced to take my word for it but i've just ordered a P1 and didn't asked them to make the P0 cPanel as a public product...
Here's the review i've sent to PowerVPS:
After having tested both P0 cPanel and P1 cPanel, i must admit that the bottom line result is that the P0 cPanel just sucks.. Sorry to be so rude
With UNIXBENCH wht variant the P0 makes a very poor score of 14.9, whilst the P1 make 63.7! Impressive for a VPS!
Your competitor VPS in the P1 range doesn't go over 40...
See the full results below.
With the P0, everythings goes all the time at the limit (see PowerPanel QOS)
Now, let's make some stress test on it.. The test was conducted using a default phpBB installation using the homepage and the FAQ page.
I have made this test with 10 concurrent users (trial limitations) and from the Rackspace network to ahve a good pipe.
With the P0 the response time is between 400 and 1100 ms and they are very versatile.
The P1 outperforms it by far with a stable 300ms for the homepage and 500ms for the FAQ page.
Just have a look on the attachments and you'll see that the P1 remains very stable, whilst the P0 is already overloaded with that kind of traffic. Not that much after all, we're just talking of 10 concurrent users....
Anyway, the P0 cPanel is a product that works, and could be interessing for users with VERY low requirements, but the majority won't understand the limitations and your reputation will be affected by this.
Hope this helps, even it's more or less the same thing that Charles/Tom said before opening a test account.
If you want, i can post this message to your forum so that others can have some comparaison. Please advice if it's something you want to be published.
Last point, I want a P1 cPanel ;) I'll just go order one!
Cheers,
David
