DesiVPS is a provider of VPS, cloud servers, dedicated servers, and other services, headquartered in India. DesiVPS has server nodes around the world and offers a variety of VPS options with different configurations to meet the needs of different users. Among them, DesiVPS's LA node is located in Los Angeles, USA, and is one of the company's most popular nodes.
The blogger happened to purchase a small VPS in the LA node during the Lunar Year Special Discount. Because it only cost $15 per year after the discount, I decisively took advantage of the opportunity.

First, let me briefly introduce the configuration of this VPS.

Now let's move on to the more noteworthy speed tests of the three major networks.
Network Speed Tests
Due to the lack of optimization in the network, the latency is generally above 150+. The upload and download speeds to China are also around 100Mbps. However, considering the price of only $15 per year and unlimited traffic, it is sufficient to run small applications and create personal blogs. Overall, it is a cost-effective entry-level VPS that is very suitable for beginners to practice and learn Linux.
