Ping Test

The Super Ping test for mainland China showed an average latency of 63.7ms. The test was conducted during the day; latency fluctuates during peak evening hours, so delays will increase slightly at night.

Outbound Route Tracing

Deyang, Sichuan (Mobile): Exits via Guangdong, passes through Hong Kong, then to Japan.
Xining, Qinghai (Telecom): Exits via Shanghai, direct route to Japan.
Tianjin (Unicom): Exits via Shanghai backbone network, direct route to Japan.

Conclusion

HostKvm does not allow setting up proxy servers and has filtered out a batch of users. All data centers are optimized for mainland China, making it a priority choice for those looking to build websites safely. However, based on xiaoz's observations over the past few days, latency increases during peak evening hours, and server stability requires long-term observation. Further updates will be provided after extended usage.

Additionally, HostKvm does not provide native local IPs, but this does not affect actual business usage. Therefore, the assigned IP may appear different from the actual data center location, which is normal. Please read the Terms of Service before purchasing.
