Hello I don't know if this is the right forum xD. I just got my VPS from post2vps.info
I'm using my VPS to run minecraft server 20 slots so far we don't have massive lag (15 players on same time) from the past few days.

Guess it's not terrible for free, but the I/O is horrific, and the CPU is quite outdated and underpowered. You should expect better speeds than that out of a single hard drive. A RAID10 array shouldn't be anywhere near that low.
 
Do note though that post2vps.info is mainly people making forum posts in order to get VPSs that are in fact sponsored by other providers. It's highly likely that some of their VPSs are going to be downright awful on the less reliable of sponsors, while others are in good shape and decently powerful.

The owner of it might eventually start running his own on his own hardware though, depends on how successful his project is.

Be aware though, post2vps.info is run by someone rather young and very inexperienced in the business. Expect him to make mistakes, he's still learning how all of this works. If you're alright with that, I see no reason not to give him a try if you're on a budget and aren't hosting anything really important.

for a free host.

It's NOT a free host. All those VPSs there are sponsored by paid hosts, as was mentioned by Seraphim, which is scary.

Well...the website and P2H service is free, but what I am saying is that the VPSs are provided by paid hosting providers, in the form of a sponsorship. The speeds on that VPS are quite low for a paid provider.

I heard that mtwiscool is paying for those low end boxes, I wonder how long he could afford that to do.

Hmmmm. Maybe he does now. That would explain the speed. He probably only has one drive in the system. They used to all be sponsored from different providers.
