EvolusHost AMD Ryzen VPS Review (9950X): Real Benchmarks + 5% Discount
Just tried out one of the Ryzen-powered VPS plans from EvolusHost and it honestly punches way above its price tag. If you’re sick of ancient Xeon nodes that wheeze under basic loads, you’ll want to read this. Oh, and there’s a discount code at the end, because I got you.
The Setup
EvolusHost offers several virtual server tiers powered by Ryzen 9000 series chips—primarily the Ryzen 9 9950X. Yeah, that’s a desktop-grade CPU we’re talking about. The 9950X clocks over 5.0 GHz, which is kind of nuts for a VPS. Combine that with DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSDs, and you’re not getting potato-tier performance here.
The control panel supports a solid list of OS choices: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Rocky, etc. And yes, they support Windows too - RDP sessions work great if you need GUI access.
I went with the Ryzen VPS Small plan, which includes:
Network: 10Gbit uplink (shared)
Location: Austria (super low latency in EU)
The setup took around 2 minutes. No hiccups, no waiting around for manual approval.
Linux VPS plans start at €4.99/month and scale up depending on resources. You can upgrade your VPS plan without losing server data.
EvolusHost’s pricing is competitive, but what you’re really paying for is modern hardware and no corner-cutting. Unlike those "unlimited" providers that cap CPU time, Evolus lets the Ryzen cores actually stretch their legs.
AMD Ryzen VPS Performance Benchmarks
Let’s get to the point:
CPU benchmark (Sysbench):
Events per second: 6325.50 This is insanely good for a single-thread sysbench CPU test.
You’re clearly getting access to a modern high-frequency core with very little throttling or virtualization overhead. That 6325 is approaching bare-metal Ryzen performance, which is rare in budget VPS.
AMD Ryzen VPS CPU Latency and Response
Avg latency: 0.16 ms – fast and stable
95th percentile: 0.17 ms – consistent, no jitter spikes
Max: 0.61 ms – nothing concerning
This means your VPS is not noisy (i.e., not overloaded with other tenants).
Stress test for consistency:
After a full 60 second sysbench stress test, the VPS held a stable 6221 events/sec — is only 1.6% lower than the 10s test (6325.50). No throttling, no slowdown. Most hosts fail here, but not this one.
AMD Ryzen VPS Disk benchmark (FIO):
Read Performance
Average throughput: ~1130 MB/s (1077 MiB/s)
IOPS: ~1077 IOPS with 1MB blocks
Latency: average ~383 µs, 95th percentile under 1.5 ms
Write Performance
Average throughput: ~1131 MB/s (1079 MiB/s)
IOPS: ~1078 IOPS (again, 1MB blocks)
Latency: avg ~400 µs, with 95th percentile under 700 µs
In disk testing with fio, the server delivered 1.1 GB/s read/write throughput on 1MB block size. Latency remained under 500µs on average, proving that this is legit NVMe performance—not the oversold SATA SSDs you see on most budget VPS providers.
EvolusHost iPerf3 test (to EU server):
iPerf3 Speed Test command generator
Download speed (sender to server):
~979 Mbit/sec average, with multiple peaks at 1007 Mbit/sec
No packet loss:
Retr = 0 across all intervals — this means there’s no congestion, no packet drops, and likely a direct, clean route.
In my network test using iperf3, the VPS maintained a rock-solid 979 Mbit/sec download rate with 0 packet loss. No throttling, no dips — this wasn’t just a burst, it held a near max 1 Gbps flatline for 10 seconds straight.
The VPS is advertised with a 10Gbit shared uplink, and while I didn’t hit the full 10Gbps (which would be unrealistic in a shared setup), I did get a stable 1 Gbps connection with zero retransmits. That’s about as good as it gets in a shared VPS environment — and a lot better than most budget hosts.
Bonus: Windows Ryzen VPS Pricing
Here’s the sleeper deal—Windows VPS starting at just €19.99/month. That’s wild. Microsoft licensing usually pushes prices much higher. You’re getting:
2 Cores
4GB RAM
40GB NVMe
10Gbit uplink
€19.99/month (Windows included)
It’s hard to find a legit Windows VPS with specs like this at this price point—especially without some sketchy trial license hack in the backend.
Conclusion
Final verdict? EvolusHost isn’t just running flashy marketing—these VPS nodes are the real deal. Ryzen 9950X delivers legit performance, there’s no CPU capping, and the disk I/O is blazing fast. For devs, gamers, self-hosters, or anyone who just wants something that flies, this is a solid option.
