How to speed test a server!

Tonight, I'm going to type up a short guide on how to run a speed test from a VPS. When I first got started on system administration, I was bamboozled on how to do this, so I think it would be great to teach all you new Linux users out there the simplest way to get a fairly accurate representation of your VPSs speed.

1 Download the script to use SpeedTest.net

Code 
wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py

2 Change the permissions of the script to make it readable

Code 
chmod +x speedtest-cli

3 Run the script.

Code 
python speedtest-cli --share

Some results on different providers.

If anyone wants to submit the link to the results they got on their servers speed test, feel free to post it in this thread and I'll update the list with the provider/data-center your server with with/in. Please follow the form below:

Quote:Link to SpeedTest.net results:
Host Used:
Geographic Location:
Data-center: (Optional)

If you love me and want to help me a tad
with future tutorials and small-projects,
use my DigitalOcean referral link. I'll love
you for doing so! I promise, I don't use
my DigitalOcean servers to make monies.
I only use DigitalOcean for my messing with.

That was posted a long time ago but it's nice to see it back as I am sure there are plenty of people who didn't saw or nor does know it exists xD

Oh. I wasn't aware of that. But I'm willing to bet that the other person didn't have the idea of keeping a publicly updated list of results from different hosting providers. 😝

Good guide, although it's all over the internet.

Here's a pic of one of my boxes.

I'm a bit late in asking this, but what kind of package is this hosted on, and what data-center is it in?

* - Magicmann - Nov 12, 2014

Going to be getting access to servers from a few different providers later in the day and I'll provide a nice boost in results on the main thread.

Mine isn't bad for A Russian server:

[img]http://www.speedtest.net/result/3910780551.png[/img]
This is because I was uploading to the server it was better

[img]http://www.speedtest.net/result/3910706580.png[/img]
This is the original speed before I started uploading
