Introduction:
We recently had the opportunity to test ExtraVM‘s VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) with DDoS protection, and we must say we are impressed with the overall performance and security features. This review aims to provide a quick analysis of the key aspects of the VDS, focusing on its hardware specifications, virtualization type, I/O speed, and network port capabilities.
Hardware Specifications:
The ExtraVM VDS comes with 2 cores from an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, each running at an impressive 3.8GHz clock speed.
Virtualization Type:
ExtraVM employs KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) as the virtualization for this VDS. KVM is a widely respected and robust virtualization technology that allows for efficient and secure isolation of virtual machines. We also noticed AMD-V is already enabled, which means this VDS can also host supported sub-systems.
I/O Speed:
I/O speed: approximately 646.3 MB/s. This high I/O speed is indicative of a well-optimized storage system and a fast disk subsystem.

Network Port:
The ExtraVM VDS is equipped with a network port capable of supporting speeds of up to 10Gbps. And the 10Gbps network port also enhances the server’s ability to handle peak traffic loads and maintain smooth connectivity even during heavy network activity.

DDoS Protection:
One of the standout features of ExtraVM‘s VDS is its robust DDoS protection. DDoS attacks are a significant threat to online services, and thus having protection in place is essential to maintain service availability and uptime.
Conclusion:
ExtraVM‘s VDS with DDoS protection delivers on its promises of exceptional performance and robust security. The powerful hardware specifications, KVM virtualization, and high-speed network port combine to create a reliable and efficient hosting solution. So, we highly recommend VDS plans of ExtraVM to those whose customers locate in Americas.
