CloudCone VPS Promotion Review: Starting at $1.75/Month with Flexible Billing

CloudCone, a sub-brand of QuadCone, currently offers VPS hosting in the MC datacenter in Los Angeles, USA. Known for its affordability and high cost-performance ratio, it supports pay-as-you-go billing, allowing users to delete their servers at any time if they no longer need them. CloudCone is currently running a strong promotion with prices starting as low as $1.75/month.

Review Configuration

The review focuses on the lowest monthly payment plan selected by xiaoz. The configuration details are as follows:

• CPU: 1 Core
• Memory: 512MB
• Disk: 20GB
• Monthly Traffic: 2TB

Ping Test & Route Tracing

The MULTACOM datacenter (MC机房) is located in Los Angeles, USA (West Coast). The latency is comparable to other VPS providers, with an average latency of around 180ms from China.

A route tracing test was conducted from Sichuan Telecom in China, showing a direct connection. The backbone IP was checked, confirming that the traffic does not route through the CN2 network. Given the low price point, it is unlikely to use CN2. For those seeking high cost-performance CN2 network VPS, refer to the review of Bandwagon Host.

Disk I/O & Download Speed Test

Disk I/O read/write speeds reached 350MB/s. While not the highest among other overseas SSD VPS, it is quite impressive and significantly outperforms many domestic cloud providers.

The official description mentions 1Gbps shared bandwidth. However, achieving the full 1Gbps speed for a single user is not feasible. The maximum download speed reached 64.6MB/s.
