DigitalOcean Benchmarks Installed Centmin on Digital Ocean 20-core instance...

In getting ready for LE testing I needed to build a test system.

DO has a option to resize a droplet, and I have been using it in my testing.
I normally use a 512Mb droplet, but Centmin needs 1Gig to build, so I resize to 1Gig then drop back down to 512Mb for testing.

This time when I went to resize to install Centmin I 'slipped' and 'accidently' hit the 64Gb / 20 core instance.

Install went great and here are my install stats...

Almost 13 minutes. The 64Gb / 20 core droplet is $0.952/hr

EVA2000 did an install on a unknow host with 512Mb / 2 core in about 16 minutes.

Not really cost effective unless EVERY second counts. But it was a fun thing to test for $1!!
