Round-trip time

Run ping from Frankfurt to a public IPv4 or IPv6 address to check round-trip time.

02 · Routing

Path quality

Use traceroute or MTR to see the network path from Frankfurt and check for packet loss along the route.

03 · Throughput

Transfer expectations

Download the 100 MiB file to measure transfer speed from the test server to your connection. Results vary with the route and current network conditions.

04 · Addressing

IPv4 + IPv6

Public KVM VPS plans include a dedicated IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 subnet unless a specific offer states otherwise.

Choose the right platform

Match the VPS family to the workload

Core is the low-cost RAM-per-euro option, Ryzen is aimed at stronger per-core CPU performance, and Xeon provides larger vCPU tiers on the Intel platform.

For workloads where route quality matters more than raw specifications, contact support before ordering and tell us the destination or region you want to reach.
