VPS from $3* (fund $50+), storage 1–5 TB NVMe from $24/mo annual-eff, dedicated with IPMI from $30.80/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.

[Launch now](https://nulnet.com/deploy/?kind=vps&plan=business/) NulNet publishes per-location performance notes: Geekbench-class CPU, fio NVMe and iperf port readings from its own fleet, refreshed 2026-09-14. Same host generation in every datacenter; ranges, not peaks. VPS from $3/mo, storage 1-5 TB from $24/mo annual-eff, dedicated with IPMI from $30.80/mo annual-eff. Reproduce every figure on your own instance: https://nulnet.com/deploy/.

## Method

Readings come from the shared-EPYC hosts that carry our entry KVM tiers: ECC memory, local NVMe, 1 Gbps port, no bursting tricks behind the numbers. Every figure below is a typical range, not a sales peak, and the honest move is to re-run the same commands on your own instance after deploy. Last refresh: 2026-09-14.

## Reading the spread between cities

Single-core scores cluster because every location runs the same host generation; a two-percent swing between flags is scheduler noise, not a reason to move. What a table cannot show is contention on a given evening - shared vCPU means neighbors borrow the same silicon. Workloads that live on the 95th percentile, like busy databases, build farms or game ticks, belong on the [dedicated ladder](https://nulnet.com/dedicated/), where whole cores are pinned and IPMI sits out-of-band. Everything else runs fine on a KVM slice from $3 to $7.50.

## CPU (Geekbench 6 class)

| Location | Single | Multi |
|---|---|---|
| Iceland (Reykjavik) | ~1,450 | ~2,700 |
| Netherlands (Amsterdam) | ~1,460 | ~2,750 |
| Romania (Bucharest) | ~1,440 | ~2,680 |
| Switzerland (Zurich) | ~1,450 | ~2,720 |
| Germany (Frankfurt) | ~1,455 | ~2,740 |
| Latvia (Riga) | ~1,430 | ~2,650 |
| USA (Ashburn) | ~1,460 | ~2,760 |
| USA (Dallas) | ~1,450 | ~2,730 |
| Brazil (Sao Paulo) | ~1,420 | ~2,620 |
| Mexico City | ~1,425 | ~2,640 |
| Hong Kong | ~1,445 | ~2,700 |
| Shanghai | ~1,430 | ~2,660 |
| Tokyo | ~1,450 | ~2,720 |

## Disk (fio) and network (iperf)

| Metric | Typical |
|---|---|
| fio seq read (1M) | ~2.5-3.5 GB/s |
| fio seq write (1M) | ~1.2-2.0 GB/s |
| fio randread 4k QD32 | ~80-140k IOPS |
| iperf3 TCP (1 Gbps SKU) | ~900-990 Mbps | The fio rows assume the local NVMe every KVM instance carries - no network-attached compromise - and the iperf row is what a 1 Gbps unmetered port sustains long-term. Boxes whose whole job is throughput per terabyte should compare the [storage line](https://nulnet.com/storage/): 1-5 TB of the same local NVMe with ports from 2.5 to 10 Gbps, opening at $24/mo billed annually. Deploy [Scout from $3](https://nulnet.com/deploy/?kind=vps&%3Bplan=nano&plan=business/) and verify on your node. Token-only signup available.

Are these marketing peaks? No. They are shared-vCPU ranges from hosts we also rent out. Always verify on your node after deploy.

Same price every location? Yes. One list price in all twenty-one cities.

Which plans should not trust shared-vCPU ranges? Anything living at the 95th percentile: busy databases, compile farms, tick-rate-sensitive games. The dedicated line pins whole cores from $30.80/mo annual-eff.
