In this review, we took an in-depth look at Kuroit’s newly launched US Ashburn VPS. Kuroit recently migrated the Ashburn node to the CosmicGuard network. Although the routing infrastructure has changed, it still uses a KVM virtualization architecture and supports common Linux distributions as well as Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025. In addition, Kuroit supports payments via Alipay, PayPal, and various mainstream cryptocurrencies, making it convenient for users in China.

Hardware Performance
This VPS uses an Intel E5-2690 v4 processor (dual-core, 2.60GHz) paired with 3931MB of RAM, with no default swap configured. Disk read/write performance averages around 376MB/s. Overall performance is moderate, but resources are sufficient for website hosting and mid-level applications.
Network Performance
In domestic testing environments, download speeds reached up to 2Gbps, while international nodes exceeded 3Gbps. Upload speeds remained stable at around 300Mbps for domestic routes and close to 1Gbps for overseas routes. However, latency is relatively high at an average of 229ms.
Return Routing (Three Networks)
- China Telecom: Outbound via NTT through San Jose and Los Angeles, return path directly via Los Angeles
- China Unicom: Outbound routed through US West, return direct
- China Mobile: Outbound routed via Japan, return also frequently passes through Japanese nodes
Overall, Telecom and Unicom routes are relatively optimal, while Mobile users may experience some detours.
Streaming Unlock Capability
The Kuroit Ashburn VPS is assigned a US native IP. Testing confirmed successful access to platforms such as US TikTok and Netflix. While it is not an ISP residential IP, it is fully sufficient for streaming and daily media usage.
Video Streaming Experience
Under China Mobile networks, YouTube playback speed reached up to 70,000 Kbps, allowing smooth 4K streaming without buffering. China Telecom and China Unicom users may experience even lower latency and better performance.
Website Hosting Capability
After deploying a BT panel and setting up an LNMP environment, the remaining memory was about 3.4GB and storage had around 21GB free. Resource availability is quite generous, supporting multiple websites or personal projects simultaneously.
Conclusion & Recommendation
Kuroit’s Ashburn VPS is a stable and practical US East Coast server offering native IPs, Windows OS support, and high-bandwidth resources. Although latency is slightly higher and not ideal for high-frequency interactive applications, it is well-suited for website hosting and streaming usage. With affordable pricing and balanced configuration, it is a solid US VPS option worth considering.
