Tencent Cloud Light Application Server has been online for quite a long time. Previously, only beta users could purchase it in the Hong Kong data center. Now Tencent Cloud Hong Kong Light Application Server is officially available and can be purchased by any user. A few months ago, Xiaoz purchased a 1-core 1GB Hong Kong Light Application Server and didn't have time to write a test. Today, I will make up for it and provide it as a reference for those who need it.
If this configuration does not meet your needs, there are more configurations to choose from, as shown in the following figure.
There are also multiple regions to choose from, such as Singapore and Silicon Valley.

The average I/O speed tested by bench.sh
is 137.3 MB/s
, which is just average for this SSD.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I/O Speed(1st run) : 149 MB/s
I/O Speed(2nd run) : 132 MB/s
I/O Speed(3rd run) : 131 MB/s
Average I/O speed : 137.3 MB/s

In the multi-region bandwidth test, the download speed can reach over 1Gbps
, and the upload bandwidth is basically consistent with the official description, reaching around 30Mbps
. It is completely fine for personal use.

In the Super Ping test, the average latency is 53.9ms
(domestic), which is comparable to domestic servers.
4K videos on YouTube can be played smoothly, and the server's bandwidth can be fully utilized.
For Sichuan Telecom, the outbound route goes through Guangdong and directly connects to Hong Kong. We can see that it takes the CN2 route, as shown in the following figure.
In the test from Tencent Cloud Hong Kong to Sichuan Telecom, it also takes the CN2 network.
Xiaoz did not continue to test China Unicom and China Mobile routes, so it is unclear how the specific situation is. It varies depending on the region and network. Some users have reported that the performance is average during peak hours.
