Netherland
Netherlands’ economy is the 17th largest in the world, according to the World Bank in 2019. This economy is a consolidated effort of the public and private sector. While the public sector rose post World War II, in the 1980s privatization of many state owned enterprises like Royal Dutch Airlines tipped the scales and brought a balance in the economy of the country. The current economic state of Netherland is mixed. The western part of the country is highly developed and central to all the economic activity.
It is essential to know that Netherland is a great service provider and exporter while importing many basic necessities. This has been highly impacted by the Covid-19 situation across the world, as global trade had come to a halt in 2020. To add to the already suffering export, trade difficulties between UK and EU & US and China has also affected the demand. The market is picking up post vaccine but the uncertainties in consumer demand and financial difficulties post pandemic has made it tough for the trade, especially export to bounce back to its original state.
2021 is seeing the rise in global trade but the graph, unlike other sectors is said to grow steadily as things come back to normal over a period of few years. The ICT sector of the country has not been untouched. Manufacturing, equipment wholesale and services are the three major factors contributing to the ICT sector in the Netherlands. The effect of pandemic has been severe on this industry too as the manufacturing and export of ICT equipment has been halted due to stringent measures. To counterbalance, the demand has picked up in 2021 as the world is turning to cloud support.
Many countries have seen a boom in the demand of ICT equipment and thus increase in manufacturing has helped Netherland’s Information and Communication Technology sector bounce back to a certain extent. In terms of ICT services, IaaS (Internet as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) are making the highest economical contribution within the subsector. The increase in use of cloud services has also contributed to the sector’s growth.
This indicates that the rise of different aspects of the ICT sector in the Netherlands has taken the load off manufacturing and trade aspects of the sector in terms of economical contribution and the graph of the future looks promisingly balanced compared to the pre pandemic situation of the country.
VPS Performance
The needs of businesses are fast changing. More than ever, the business now relies on virtual and cloud computing to connect with users and keep their websites and applications running. Therefore, businesses need servers with features and performance for the platforms that keep their sites running.

When comparing server-side VPS output for platforms that use the LAMP stack, there are a few things to keep in mind. WordPress, Joomla, and other common CMS and eCommerce sites are examples of such platforms.
The LAMP Stack is a group of web-based server applications that runs on Linux. LAMP is an acronym for the features of the software that makes up the suite of software: L (Linux OS), A (Apache Web (HTTP) Server), M (MySQL database), P (PHP programming (scripting) language).
Virtual Processor (vCPU) Performance: A VPS's virtual processor (vCPU) is the virtual counterpart of a real computer's CPU. The vCPU performs the server’s processing tasks like reading and writing data, compressing images, or data encryption.
Random Read/Write IOPS: Storage performance for Random Read/Write IOPS (input/output operations per second) is a metric commonly used to assess disk I/O performance. When it comes to eCommerce websites, blogs, and mobile apps, a large number of files would be saved.
Apache Web Server Performance: The Apache Web Server is a web server that is widely used that manages a client requests for website or application.
MySQL Mixed Workload: MySQL is a database management system that stores all of the critical information that a website needs to provide its editors with a fully interactive and vibrant web-based interface.
PHP Performance: PHP, a programming language commonly used by much popular Content Management Systems. One of PHP's mostpopular use cases is the generation of interactive content on a website while querying MySQL for data.
