Ahh yes, its great to be on the receiving end of bitcoin if your a business as you don't have to worry about fraud, but it does make it easy for them to totally ignore a guarantee with zero repercussions (except reviews, which is very important of course). Yeah lesson learned.
The server "should" be faster at everything, all things being equal. I mean its always the little things that get me, so maybe there was some little thing that didn't get accounted for (just saying Im human too), but else then Id say it could be a server issue.
But there are a lot of things at play, like if the server has crappy DNS and your using Google DNS at home, or if you did not use proxies on link checking and you did use them on posting (although it still should have been faster) but lets say that the proxy server was over loaded when you posted with the server and not when you posted at home. I don't know how many tests you did, but given your experience with the server it could have well been that.
I can say though that in 10 years Ive never once noticed my home machine was faster, when all things were equal. Now if I have a monster home machine and a cheap vps and the resources are the issue on the vps, then yes of course. But then all things are not equal.
Sometimes its hard to say. I get your point of using a SEO VPS, it makes sense. I just always have bought the tools and kept them, but then a few times I might have actually saved some cash by testing on a seo vps first and then going. Hard to say, but its a great idea to test out and see what you need without buying a bunch of stuff for sure.
Hopefully whatever server you get next works well for you.
A dozen servers is great, although its a bit to manage of course, but I started on a home machine and then grew from there, so its all just a matter of time.
