Hi, i am using the 1 year free amazon vps plan. I install Windows 2012 r2, and I am running just only firefox thats only software and my vps becomes very slow, do you recommend me to install another version of Windows (2003 or 2008)? Or should i have to make some tweaks to my vps. Many thanks

    im guessing you're using the micro instance. they have shit CPU. only way to improve is to upgrade instance.

    Amazon VPS' have terrible performance bottlenecks. This is what you should expect.

      This may be true of T1/T2 instances (which are designed to only be used for short bursts) but not at all true for other instance types.

      I'm pretty sure Netflix, Pinterest, AirBnB, etc, etc don't experience "terrible performance bottlenecks" -- I sure don't with my AWS instances...

        Correct me if I am wrong but the free AWS VPS instances are T1/T2, which is exactly my point.
