In recent years, Kuroit has deployed VPS nodes in multiple US cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Ashburn. However, the Spokane datacenter is relatively less discussed, and there is limited testing data available. This article provides a detailed review of the Kuroit US Spokane VPS, covering hardware performance, network speed, routing, streaming unlock capability, and website hosting experience, offering a reference for global users.

Kuroit US Spokane VPS Plan Information
The test machine used in this review has a relatively low configuration. Compared to the actual promotional plans, both hardware and traffic are reduced by half, and bandwidth is limited to 1Gbps. The official promotional plans provide 10Gbps bandwidth and higher specifications. Details are as follows:
| CPU | RAM | Disk | Bandwidth | Monthly Traffic | IP | Price | Payment Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 cores | 4GB | 30GB NVMe | 10Gbps | 2TB (after bonus) | 1 IPv4 | $3/month Link | Alipay, PayPal supported |
After purchase, users can post their order number in LET (Portal) to request double traffic. Users without a LET account can also leave a message in the TG group for assistance from the admin.
Hardware Performance Test
Testing shows that the Kuroit Spokane node uses an Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processor with a base frequency of 2.60GHz. Available memory is approximately 971MB, with 512MB swap by default (expandable to 1.5GB). Disk size is 15GB, with average read/write speed around 350MB/s, which is a moderate level.
The virtualization platform is KVM and supports BBR acceleration. Overall, the hardware is “sufficient but not outstanding,” with no major weaknesses but also no strong highlights.
Network Performance and Latency
Speed tests show download speeds stabilizing around 600Mbps. Upload performance is even better, with Asian and mainland China nodes reaching over 400Mbps. US and European nodes can generally saturate the bandwidth.
Average latency from China is around 219ms, slightly higher than typical West US datacenters.
- China Telecom: outbound route goes directly via Los Angeles, return route mostly via San Jose direct connection, stable overall.
- China Unicom: outbound via AS4837 directly to Los Angeles, return route also direct, good latency performance.
- China Mobile: outbound routes via Japan, return routes via Germany, resulting in higher latency and poorer experience.
Overall, Telecom and Unicom users get stable bi-directional direct routing, while Mobile users are not well-suited.
Native IP and Streaming Unlocking
Tests show that this VPS provides a US native IP, successfully unlocking TikTok US region, Netflix US, and other mainstream streaming platforms. AI services and various US-based platforms also work properly.
IP quality checks indicate it is a datacenter broadcast IP with relatively clean reputation. Most detection scripts classify it as high quality.
Video Streaming Performance
Under a China Unicom network environment, YouTube playback speed peaked at over 60K+, with smooth 4K playback. Telecom users are expected to have similar performance, while Mobile users may experience noticeable degradation due to routing issues.
Website Hosting Experience
After installing the BaoTa panel and configuring an LNMP stack, memory usage is around 338MB and disk usage is about 4.5GB. On the lowest available plan, about 3.3GB RAM and 35GB disk remain usable, sufficient for small websites.
With a US native IP, it is more suitable for websites targeting US audiences.
Conclusion
Overall performance of the Kuroit US Spokane VPS:
- Hardware: average performance, suitable for lightweight hosting and daily use.
- Network: strong upload performance; stable direct routing for Telecom and Unicom; poor experience for Mobile users.
- Video: over 60K YouTube speed, suitable for HD streaming.
- IP quality: US native IP with good reputation, supports major streaming unlock.
- Use cases: suitable for Telecom/Unicom users for hosting, streaming, and unlocking; not recommended for Mobile users.
For users seeking a niche US datacenter with native IPs and targeting US-based services, Kuroit Spokane VPS still offers decent value.
