If a virtual server gives you a free trial period of, say, 14 days, what should you test out specifically? I wouldn't want to do too much work on a server only to realize I'm not going to keep it!

Start the test by downloading the file:
wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test
3. Test I/O
# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
