Why hosting a server?
What are prerequisites
Installation process
Let's go!
When you perform a speed test, a server is needed to deliver the flow by sending and receiving data in order to measure the performance of your Internet connection.The relevance of measurements made by the nPerf tools are largely based on the quality of the network of servers used to provide the flow for testing.
By becoming a hosting partner, you are participating in a collaborative international project to measure the quality of broadband and mobile Internet connections.
Access to test data As a hosting partner, you have access to accurate data, collected through test performed on your servers.
You are an ISP? Give your customers the opportunity to test the throughput on a server located in the core of your network for best performances.
To ensure maximum quality to nPerf users, we only accept servers hosted in a data center to ensure high availability.

Debian 9/10 or Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 dist with minimal install (without GUI stuff) and SSH server installed.
The nPerf server uses the standard ports HTTP / HTTPS, so it is highly recommended to install it on a dedicated server (physical or virtual).You are already hosting a speedtest.net server?nPerf server can be installed on the same server.
nPerf puts all its expertise at your service to offer you two solutions. The service provided by nPerf is of course totally free.
Managed server nPerf handles everything: software installation, server protection, maintenance and application updates. We just need a server with a distribution like Debian / Ubuntu installed and root access.
Unmanaged server An installation script is available, on request, to assist you in configuring the server.A strong knowledge of Linux system is required.
Wherever possible, we encourage our partners to opt for a server managed by our team, so we can deploy the updates more quickly.
