In today’s overseas VPS market, it is relatively rare to find a product that simultaneously offers high bandwidth, bidirectional optimized routing for all three major Chinese ISPs, and a native IP address. VMRack’s US premium network VPS stands out as a highly cost-effective option in this segment.
This series originally only provided China Unicom AS9929 and China Mobile CMIN2 optimized routes. It has now been upgraded to include China Telecom CN2 GIA, China Unicom AS9929, and China Mobile CMIN2 optimized return routing. In addition, the base bandwidth has been increased from 200Mbps to 500Mbps.
This review by “Overseas VPS Reviews” provides a full test of the entry-level plan, focusing on hardware performance, bandwidth, routing quality, and real-world usage experience.
