AlexHost is an overseas hosting provider from Moldova. In its early years, it mainly offered anti-complaint servers and Moldova-based data center products. In recent years, it has gradually expanded to multiple data centers in the US and Europe. The newly added Las Vegas, USA data center uses Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs, DDR4 memory, and NVMe SSDs, all based on KVM virtualization.
Unlike ordinary US VPS, although these Las Vegas VPS are located in the US, the IPs allocated are recognized by multiple databases as “Russian native IPs,” with high purity. This makes them suitable for users with special IP environment requirements.
Additionally, this VPS series provides 1Gbps bandwidth with unlimited traffic and supports Windows Server 2016/2019/2022. It is especially designed for users who require long-term uptime, large downloads, high traffic, or a Windows environment.

Hardware Performance Test
The CPU was not fully recognized by the system, but a single-core frequency of 2.90GHz was detected, which matches the official Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 frequency. The system detects approximately 1999MB of RAM with an additional ~952MB of swap, which is reasonable for a 2GB plan.
Disk performance:
- Available capacity: ~19.6GB
- NVMe read/write speed: ~875MB/s
- Disk I/O performance is high
Overall, disk performance is above average and can handle Linux environments, website applications, or light databases without issues. KVM virtualization was used with native BBR acceleration enabled manually.
Network Speed Test
- Domestic download speed: most nodes nearly saturate 1Gbps
- Overseas download speed: generally above 600Mbps
- Upload speed: mostly above 200Mbps
For an unlimited bandwidth US VPS, this performance is quite good. Upload speed is slightly lower than some premium optimized US VPS, but acceptable considering the unlimited traffic feature.
Domestic Ping Latency
- Average domestic ping: ~187ms
This latency is normal for US West to China Mainland but slightly higher than popular LA/San Jose data centers. Stability is good with no major fluctuations.
