Publish: 2019-05-31 | Modify: 2019-05-31

ChangeIP is a low-end VPS brand directly owned by Sharktech, and the prices are much cheaper than buying directly from the Sharktech website. In a previous article, another Sharktech VPS called Rectified was introduced, but ChangeIP and Rectified have been merged after being acquired by Sharktech, and Rectified no longer exists.

VPS Review

xiaoz got a 1 core, 512M, 20G SSD VPS in Los Angeles and did a simple review for reference for those who want to purchase.

Disk I/O

Conclusion

ChangeIP VPS provides unlimited traffic packages, suitable for building CDNs or for VPN users. As for the stability of ChangeIP, I searched for related articles online, and the reviews are mixed. Since I just started using ChangeIP, the stability needs to be observed over a longer period of time, and I will continue to supplement the review after using it for a while.
