The entry-level plan includes 512MB RAM, 1 CPU core, 12GB storage, and 100Mbps bandwidth with unlimited traffic, priced at $11.64/month (billed quarterly).

Latency and Network Stability

During local ping testing, the average latency was around 404ms. Although relatively high, the connection remained stable with minimal packet loss. Nationwide testing across China’s three major ISPs showed the following results:

China Telecom: 387ms
China Unicom: 392ms
China Mobile: 249ms

These latency figures indicate that the Vietnam VPS routes traffic indirectly via the United States rather than connecting directly to mainland China, resulting in higher latency.

Global Network Stability Test

From a global perspective, network stability is generally good. While occasional packet loss occurs on some nodes, the overall performance is still acceptable for a Vietnam-based VPS.

Routing Analysis (China Telecom, Unicom, Mobile)

China Telecom route: Exits via Guangzhou, passes through San Jose (USA) and Singapore, then reaches Ho Chi Minh City.
China Unicom route: Exits via Beijing, goes through San Jose (USA), Japan, and Hong Kong before reaching Vietnam.
China Mobile route: Exits via Shanghai, routes through Los Angeles (USA), Japan, and Hong Kong, then arrives in Vietnam.

The detour through the United States contributes to higher latency, although overall routing stability remains consistent.
