Hong Kong VPS Server (Virtual Private Dedicated Server Hong Kong & China)
Although Hong Kong is now a terrority of the PRC (People's Republic of China) it actually shares nothing in common with the network providers China Netcom (CNC) and China Telecom (CT).
Hong Kong does have a lot of bandwidth both locally and internationally but for some reason few providers can actually achieve more than 5-40 k/s internationally. The reason is likely because of peering arrangements and that you need to pay extra to have any real international bandwidth.
In practice 9/10 ISPs and data centers have no little or no overseas bandwdidth. Although Hong Kong is generally known as a financial and technological hub, unfortunately the internet speeds, even from high cost datacenters are less than adequate.
There are a few exceptions, but only because some datacenters seem to have direct peering through Japan which results in good speeds.
What we recommend is those looking for a Hong Kong VPS is to choose our Shenzhen datacenter, which is literally just across the Hong Kong border within mainland China. The reason for a Hong Kong VPS does not compare to our Shenzhen VPS Hosting (Virtual Private Servers) is because we have unique peering agreements with all mainland China datacenters we operate.
We have been able to utilize more than 100mbit of international bandwidth in our tests and we're one of the few providers who has direct peering agreements and international bandwidth arrangements inside China.
If you're looking for a Hong Kong VPS, you might find that our Shenzhen VPS and datacenter operations are far more suitable for both the Hong Kong, China and International audience.
