It is a performance test for PHP Benchmark on a VPS at a DigitalOcean droplet.
The server is located at San Francisco Datacenter 2.
Here is the system information:
Operating system Ubuntu Linux 20.04
Webmin version 1.941
Time on system Sun Apr 26 18:41:34 2020
Kernel and CPU Linux 5.4.0-26-generic on x86_64

How To test the PHP benchmark.

I tested 7 times. So get rid of the highest one, and the lowest one. Get the average of the rest five scores.

--------------------------------------

Start : 2020-04-26 18:36:58
Server : u20.webexample.win@206.189.213.58
PHP version : 7.4.3
Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 0.505 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 0.503 sec.
test_loops                : 0.223 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.130 sec.

Total time:               : 1.361 sec.

The average results are 1.375sec.

How to check the disk usage of your VPS

March 16, 2019 / / 0 Comments

The df utility displays the disk space usage on all mounted filesystem.

The -T option prints the filesystem type as well. By default, df measures the size in 1K blocks, which could be a little difficult for a desktop user to decipher. Use the -h option to get the more understandable output:

davidyin@localhost:~$ df -h -T
Filesystem     Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev           devtmpfs  463M     0  463M   0% /dev
tmpfs          tmpfs      99M  7.0M   92M   8% /run
/dev/sda       ext4       25G   12G   12G  51% /
tmpfs          tmpfs     493M     0  493M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs          tmpfs     5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs          tmpfs     493M     0  493M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs          tmpfs      99M     0   99M   0% /run/user/1000
davidyin@localhost:~$

The VPS system will be problemed when the disk is used 100% full.

So to make sure the disk usage in the health range is very important. Clean the files when it is growing too fast or close to 85% or 90%.

Look at the log files. For example, web site error log, web site access log, security log files.

How to SFTP your Google Computer Engine in Dreamweaver 2017

May 17, 2018 / / 0 Comments

It is very strange that I can not use my private/public key pair to connect my VPS on Google Computer Engine. Although I can SFTP to the same VPS with same keys in Filezilla client, and PuTTY client.

I did a lot of try. At the last I found it is because I make the keys by PuTTY Key Generator program.

My PuTTY programs are the latest version 0.70.

It is the solution to tell you how to SFTP to Google Computer Engine in Dreamweaver 2017, or even Dreamweaver 2018.

Step 1, Generate public/private key pair

Run Git Bash terminal window.

I want to make the key by my name, binghuiyin

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C "binghuiyin"

Then it will ask for the location of the keys. I prefer to have them in d:/gce-key/ folder.

It will also ask for the passphrase. So I entered my password.

Done, I have two files in the d:/gce-key/

binghuiyin is the private key.

binghuiyin.pub is the public key.

ssh-keygen generate keys

Bashrc is not loading? (Fixed)

May 29, 2017 / / 0 Comments

I have the .bashrc file, but it is not loading when I connect my VPS through SSH.

The content of .bashrc looks like below:

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
force_color_prompt=yes
PS1='\[\033[1;36m\]\u\[\033[1;31m\]@\[\033[1;32m\]\h:\[\033[1;35m\]\w\[\033[1;31m\]\$\[\033[0m\] '

It provides a colorful terminal look.

CloudatCost VPS – an VPS service provider from Canada

August 27, 2015 / / 0 Comments

I am customer of CloudatCost, which is a VPS service provider at Ontario, Canada.

I saw the Ads on twitter, or just someone make a tweet. The most interesting thing is the one time payment and no more recurring invoice. Only one time setup fee.  It also has monthly plan.

For example, the very basic plan, Developer 1, $1/month or $35/one time.

If subscribe the monthly plan, it will be $1/month, after a year, you paid $12.  One time fee $35 is about three year subscription fee. So pay three year service in the front. That’s it. You own the plan for ever.

cloudatcost-plans

I purchased plan Developer 2, by one time fee.

Developer 2:

  • $10/month or $70/one time
  • 2 Xeon vCPU
  • 1 public IP
  • 1GB ECC RAM
  • 20GB SSD
  • 100Mbit Network
  • 1TB monthly transfer

 

I have a coupon for 50% off, that means you just need to pay $35/one time fee, you can have it for ever. See the coupon code :

Linode annouced $10 Plan

June 16, 2014 / / 0 Comments

It is the first time Linode announced $10 plan in the past 11 years.

They call it Linode 1G

Linode 1G – a $10/mo ($.015/hr) entry into our Linode plan lineup. This new Linode runs on the same 40 Gbps network, SSDs, and processing power as our larger plans. Likewise, inbound traffic is free and restricted only by link speed (40 Gbps).

  • 1 GB RAM
  • 1 CPU Core
  • 24GB SSD Storage
  • 2TB Transfer
  • 40 Gbit Network In
  • 125 Mbit Network Out

 

I have a node at Linode for two years. It has much more stable service and keeps updating the hardware without increasing fees.

The plan supports monthly pay, or yearly pay(10% discount) or bi-yearly pay(15% discount). Now I am using yearly payment play.

linode-1024

I recommend the small business to start their first VPS at Linode with this starter plan.
