Germany has a well-established hosting provider with a history of more than ten years. Its brands include ProviderService, ProviderDienste, ultravps, and getkvm. There are many aliases, but the reputation is good according to the search on Hostloc.

VPS Purchase

UltraVPS does not allow direct registration of accounts. You need to place an order and wait for approval. The configurations and prices are as follows:

New users can purchase at a 15% discount at www.providerservice.com. Please note that only the first 6 months are discounted, and the lowest configuration costs about 3.8 euros per month after the discount. Renewal will be at the original price.

After placing an order, the payment address will be sent to your email. After successful payment, the order will be manually reviewed, which may take several minutes to several hours. After successful setup, the login information for the independent control panel will be sent to your email, so you can manage the server.

About Tickets

UltraVPS does not provide a ticket system. Only phone and email support are available at [email protected]. You can directly send an email for any questions, which serves as a substitute for the ticket system.

Ping Test

The average latency is about 200ms, which is similar to other servers on the US West Coast.

Route Tracing

From the route tracing, it can be seen that some of the China Telecom routes use the CN2 network, while China Unicom and China Mobile have direct connections. However, the route for China Mobile is more complex, which may not be very friendly to the China Mobile network.

I/O and Download Speed

The official website offers two VPS series: All-Flash-Storage (with faster speed) and RAID-10 SAS (with cheaper price). I chose the All-Flash-Storage series, which has an I/O of up to 500M/s. The download speed is also good, as shown in the screenshots.

Conclusion

UltraVPS has good overall performance and affordable prices. However, it is not very friendly to the China Mobile network, and stability needs further observation. It is worth mentioning that the lowest configuration of UltraVPS shows a 30G disk allocation, but after setup, the root partition (/) has about 10G and the /data partition has 30G. The 30G mentioned here should refer to the data disk.
