Linveo Texas VPS: Real Performance Test Results from a Crypto Mining Experiment

I recently pulled up an old server I'd been using for some casual crypto mining. With the renewal date approaching and no proper review posted yet, I figured it was time to run some tests and share what this provider actually delivers.

Linveo has been around since roughly 2010 - one of those American hosting companies that flies under the radar with domestic users but has a decent following on international forums. They offer shared hosting, AMD VPS, Intel VPS, and dedicated servers. Their AMD VPS lineup caught my attention with solid performance specs and PayPal payment support.

What You Get for Your Money

Location: Dallas, Texas data center

Configuration: 2 CPU cores, 2GB RAM, 50GB disk, 3TB bandwidth at $5/month

The CPU is an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X - a genuinely impressive processor. My Geekbench 6 single-core score hit 2399, which puts it in high-performance territory. The disk performed consistently with 4K read/write speeds around 230MB/s, and the bandwidth port appears to be 10Gbps since I clocked 7Gbps on certain test nodes.

Benchmark Deep Dive

Baota Panel Score: 26,551 total points

• Single-core CPU: 6,309

• Multi-core CPU: 12,619

• Disk performance: 12,000 (Read: 1,172MB/s, Write: 1,150MB/s)

YABS Results:
The disk speed tests showed excellent mixed read/write performance. With 4K blocks, I got 471MB/s combined throughput. For larger 512K blocks, total throughput jumped to 4.52GB/s. Network tests revealed strong connectivity - 3.61Gbps download from NYC and 2.25Gbps from Los Angeles, with latency sitting at 37-46ms to those locations.

Geekbench 6:

• Single Core: 2,399

• Multi Core: 4,094

These scores reflect the Ryzen 9 7950X's capabilities. For compute-intensive tasks or mining operations, this CPU delivers.

Network Performance and Connectivity

The network speed tests painted an interesting picture. European connections (London, Amsterdam) ranged from 780Mbps to 1.55Gbps with 104-114ms latency. Asian routes like Singapore showed 459-821Mbps at 198ms latency. Domestic US connections were the real standout - Los Angeles pulled 1.72Gbps up and 2.25Gbps down at just 46ms, while NYC hit 1.87Gbps up and 3.61Gbps down at 37ms.

For users running bandwidth-heavy applications or need reliable connections to major US cities, 👉 Linveo's Texas datacenter offers exceptional network performance with generous bandwidth allocations.

The routing tests confirmed standard paths - China Telecom via 163 backbone, China Unicom via 4837, and China Mobile via CMI. Nothing fancy, but all routes functioned as expected with reasonable latency for trans-Pacific connections.

Streaming and Email Configuration

Streaming unlock tests showed:

• Netflix: Accessible but limited to Netflix Originals

• YouTube Premium: Full access, US region

• Disney+: US region unlock confirmed

• Amazon Prime Video: US region access

Email port testing revealed mixed results. Local ports all checked out fine. Major providers like Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL had blocked connections, while others like QQ, 163, and Outlook showed partial accessibility. Standard datacenter IP reputation stuff - nothing unexpected.

IP Quality Assessment

The IP scored moderately across security databases. Clean abuse records and low threat levels, though flagged as datacenter/hosting infrastructure by most databases. VPN and proxy scores came back high, typical for VPS providers. No blacklist issues, and Google search worked without CAPTCHA challenges.

The Bottom Line

For $5/month, this Texas VPS delivers legitimate performance. The Ryzen 9 7950X CPU is the real draw here - you're getting processor power that competes with much pricier options. Disk I/O stays consistent, network speeds hold up well to major US cities, and the 3TB bandwidth allowance provides plenty of headroom.

The setup worked great for my mining experiment, and the hardware clearly handles compute-intensive workloads without breaking a sweat. If you need reliable US-based hosting with strong CPU performance and don't require premium network routing to Asia, Linveo delivers solid value in the budget VPS category.
