Ping Test

The average latency for domestic super ping test is 63.7ms. The test was conducted by Xiaoz during the day, and there may be fluctuations during peak hours, so latency may increase in the evening.

Outbound Routing Trace

Sichuan Deyang Mobile: Exits through Guangdong, passes through Hong Kong, and then to Japan.

Qinghai Xining Telecom: Exits through Shanghai, directly to Japan.

Tianjin Unicom: Also exits through Shanghai backbone network and then directly to Japan.

Mping Test

Mping is a script developed by Xiaoz that can test the round-trip ping latency, packet loss rate, and routing trace of the return path. The data is as follows:

This result was generated by mping: https://blog.xiaoz.org/archives/13044

From the mping results, it can be concluded that Telecom and Unicom directly return through Shanghai, while Mobile still goes through Hong Kong.

Summary:

HostKvm does not allow the use of VPNs and has filtered out a batch of users. All data centers are optimized for mainland China. Those who want to build websites with peace of mind should consider it. However, based on Xiaoz's observations over the past few days, latency increases during peak hours, and the stability of the servers needs to be observed over a longer period of time. Therefore, Xiaoz will continue to supplement the information after using it for a period of time.

In addition, HostKvm does not have native domestic IPs, but this does not affect the actual use of the service. Therefore, the assigned IP may be different from the data center location, which is normal. Please read the Terms of Service before making a purchase.
