LOCVPS is a Chinese hosting provider established in 2012, mainly offering multi-route optimized cloud server solutions for users in mainland China. Its services cover popular data centers such as Hong Kong, the United States, Korea, and Japan. Recently, LOCVPS launched a new “dual-ISP” Korea residential VPS product featuring native home IPs. This article takes a closer look at its performance and network routing quality.
Currently, LOCVPS offers two types of VPS networks in Korea: a standard China-optimized BGP route and the newly reviewed “dual-ISP residential IP” version. The entry configuration starts with 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 30GB storage, and 500GB monthly traffic, with a base bandwidth of 30Mbps. The price is ¥60/month, and users can apply the discount code krdualispip to get 35% off. Payment methods include Alipay and WeChat Pay, and both Linux and Windows systems are supported.

1. Dual-ISP & IP Cleanliness Verification
IP detection tests confirm that this Korea VPS uses a true dual-ISP residential IP range, and the IP is a native home IP with good cleanliness. It is suitable for scenarios requiring high-quality IP reputation, such as content distribution, social media operations, and multi-platform verification.
2. Local & Nationwide Ping Latency Test
In local testing, the average ping latency is around 253ms. While slightly higher than expected, stability is good with almost no packet loss. In nationwide China ping tests, the average latency is about 319ms, with Telecom at 383ms, Unicom at 378ms, and Mobile at 216ms, indicating some routing detours. In contrast, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan regions show much better performance at around 46ms.
3. Global Network Stability
Across multiple regions with 100-packet ping tests, overseas nodes show nearly zero packet loss, demonstrating excellent stability. Mainland China nodes occasionally experience minor packet loss, but overall performance remains acceptable.
4. Three-Network Routing Analysis
- China Telecom: exits via Guangzhou, routes through San Jose (US), then connects to Seoul via backbone network.
- China Unicom: exits via Beijing, also detours through San Jose using AS4837 routing.
- China Mobile: exits via Shanghai, routes through Tokyo (Japan) to Korea via CMI backbone, relatively better path.
Overall, none of the three networks achieve direct connectivity, resulting in higher latency for mainland China users. However, routing optimization is reportedly in progress, and future direct-optimized routes may be introduced.
5. Performance & Download Speed Test
Disk I/O performance remains stable at around 500MB/s, indicating SSD storage. Download speed reaches 80Mbps and upload speed around 30Mbps, which is sufficient for general use and medium-to-high bandwidth workloads.

7. How to Purchase LOCVPS Korea VPS
After visiting the LOCVPS official website, go to the User Center. New users need to register first. Then select “Buy KVM VPS” → “Korea” node. Make sure to choose the plan labeled “Dual-ISP”, otherwise you will not get the residential dual-ISP IP.
8. Final Verdict
The LOCVPS Korea dual-ISP residential IP VPS is ideal for users who need native IPs and stable network quality. Although current routing is not directly optimized for mainland China, resulting in higher latency, the IP quality and overall stability are strong. It is well-suited for cross-border social media operations, e-commerce marketing, and streaming platform access. If future routing optimization is completed, its competitiveness will further improve.
