The server is located in Durham, North Carolina. Durham is close to Chapel Hill. My wife used to work as a postdoc at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, so I also feel a connection to Durham.
As you can see, CPU, disk, and network performance of this VPS are all quite average.
However, considering the configuration, price isn't expensive at $3.5/month, so I can accept it.
