DMIT has officially restocked its Los Angeles AN5 series VPS lineup. The biggest highlight of this refresh is the full upgrade to the AMD EPYC 9005 Series platform, offering a noticeable performance improvement compared to the previous AN4 generation. However, pricing has also increased, with entry-level plans rising from the former $9.99/month to the current $37.99/quarter.
The currently available plans are mainly divided into two routing categories:

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is upgrading from DMIT AN4 to AN5 worth it?
If you require stronger CPU performance and higher I/O capability for high-concurrency websites or API services, AN5 is worth the upgrade. For lightweight workloads, AN4 is still sufficient and more affordable.
2. How should I choose between CN2 GIA and CMIN2?
- CN2 GIA: Lower latency and stronger stability, but more expensive
- CMIN2: Better value for money and suitable for budget-conscious users
In short: choose Pro for the best experience, and choose EB for better cost-effectiveness.
3. Can the VPS still be used after the traffic quota is exhausted?
Yes. All plans support throttled unlimited traffic mode (such as 4Mbps or 8Mbps) instead of completely cutting off the connection.
4. Is it suitable for TikTok or streaming media?
The network quality is excellent enough, but streaming unlock capability depends on the assigned IP range and cannot be guaranteed 100%.
7. Conclusion
The biggest advantages of DMIT’s new AN5 series include:
- ✅ Brand-new AMD EPYC 9005 high-performance platform
- ✅ Premium CN2 GIA and CMIN2 routing options
- ✅ Los Angeles datacenter with excellent connectivity to Asia
However, there are also some noticeable changes:
- ❗ Entry-level pricing has increased significantly
- ❗ Overall value is lower compared to earlier generations
If you are looking for premium network routing combined with stable high performance, the AN5 series remains one of the top-tier VPS options on the US West Coast. However, users with tighter budgets may still want to consider AN4 or alternative solutions.
