ConoHa is a hosting brand created by GMO Internet. It seems to have been established a few years ago. However, it is very powerful. It launched various VPS discounts as soon as it came out. Compared with Linode, which sold for 20 US dollars at the time, it also provides computer rooms in Tokyo, Japan. So it seems to be quite popular in China. Later, due to the large number of users, the lines became worse and worse, and attention dropped.
As a Japanese VPS host, ConoHa has the IP of the computer room in Tokyo, Japan. The lines are directly connected to China Telecom and China Unicom (it will be very congested at night). Unlike other Japanese hosting providers, ConoHa's payment method is Alipay, which is obviously designed to do business with Chinese people. In terms of price, the monthly payment for a 1GB VPS is about 60 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective.
Regarding Japanese VPS, at present, even for Linode, the lines in the computer room are almost destroyed. At night, the speed is basically the same as that in the American computer room. When choosing a Japanese VPS, don't blindly worship the Tokyo computer room IP, but also carefully look at the lines. For example, some merchants' lines will even detour to the United States and then to China, and the speed will be even slower.

The second test result was over 2000, and the score was still satisfactory.
3. ConoHa.jp VPS speed test
Regarding Japanese VPS hosts, in addition to price being the biggest concern, speed is actually the key factor when we decide whether to use it or not. Directly use Winscp to upload files to the ConoHa.jp VPS server, the speed is about 300KB/s.
The download speed from ConoHa.jp VPS to local area remains above 500KB/s.
This is the domestic ping value response of ConoHa.jp VPS. It is not very ideal and is basically above 100.

5. Summary
The price of ConoHa Japanese VPS is relatively cheap, but compared to Linode and Vultr, the number of computer rooms is smaller. It seems that Windows cannot be installed in the background, but BBr can be installed. In terms of speed, it performs normally during the day, but becomes slower at night.
Although the ConoHa Japan VPS host will state the monthly payment when you purchase it, during the actual use process, the fee will be deducted based on the length of time you use it. At this point, I have to complain about the pitfalls of annual payment made by domestic host companies.
