Do you guys share me any ways to check loading speed (download/upload) of a VPS? It is possible to check this before buying? Thanks

I think usually you can ask a host for a speed test they then upload a file and link you to it from there you can down load it and see what the speeds look like. Other than that you can do a ping on their domain / ip and see what that looks like.

Its also a good idea. how does the loading speed consider as a fast hosting?

If a hosting provider offers money-back, you can order VPS and set up the following speed-test: https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli There is a long list of servers which you can use for download/upload testing.

Most hosts provide a test IP and test download. They're easy to find, you can search on Google for "Speed Test" and after that just put the provider's identity after that. You'll get a result in most cases.

Agree with Greg - of course it's possible before purchasing any package. I'd perform a few tests at different times of the day to uncover any differences.

Looking glass always a good tool for you to test the network performance of host, as long as they have such channel for you to evaluate.

Hello, Some providers have an option on their website to check their server speed, but it will be difficult to find those providers as there are only some providers who does that.
