I was not familiar with this hosting provider until I accidentally discovered it on the "Host Review Blog." It is a Russian本土商家 (local Russian merchant) mainly offering Russian VPS and server hosting services, with relatively low prices. It supports payment methods such as PayPal, UnionPay, and credit cards.

Test Addresses

Due to varying network conditions in different regions, users can test the performance themselves using the following addresses:

Conclusion

Based on the tests, some regions utilize the CN2 network. While the machine performance is not exceptional, the price is quite affordable. If your local network test results are satisfactory, it is suitable for use as a proxy server. It remains to be seen if the routing will be adjusted in the future, so long-term observation is needed. Those interested in purchasing are advised to pay monthly.
