update: Beta test is over. Go to China VPS plans.
We are very excited to launch our VPS (virtual private server) service in China. VPS in China is something we had been planning for a while but held back due to unfavorable conditions. More than just buying a server and install the software, we actually put in place relationships that finally make it the more stable operationally to offer this service.
While VPS is common place and cheaply available in many parts of the world, launching VPS in China has its unique set of challenges that had obstructed VPS introduction and growth. One of the challenges is the ability to obtain more than one IP assigned to one server. (More on this and other challenges on this blog in future.)
As part of the launch, we are allowing a period of beta test to stress test the servers and to fill up the bandwidth. If you like to be included in the beta test (free! until the price is finalized), send us a note now. Our preference is for potential customers with need a China based VPS. So in your note, be sure to let us know what you are planning to use the VPS for.
The regulation in China is rather stringent, especially with web content and every website is required to be registered. A rotten egg in the VPS could result in the entire VPS being shut down. To protect all users on the VPS, we would be taking extra steps to know what goes onto the VPS.
But, do not let us frighten you, if you have a requirement and a VPS could meet that requirement, be sure to check us out. Put us alongside other competitors (not that many anyway). We are quite sure you wouldn’t be disappointed.
See you on our VPS!
