HostDare US CN2 VPS host performance and speed evaluation-cheap price but slow IO speed

HostDare is a personal VPS host provider in the United States. A friend introduced me to HostDare's CN2 VPS host in a summary of access to CN2 line VPS host providers and computer rooms. HostDare seems to prefer to provide VPS to Chinese people, so the official websites of many routes are marked as Asia-optimized. In terms of price, HostDare's VPS is relatively cheap. The cheapest VPS host with Openvz architecture is US$12.5 per year (memory is 512MB), and the VPS host with KVM architecture with 756MB of memory costs US$2.99 ​​per month. If it's on sale, the price may be cheaper. HostDare has two VPS hosts that use the CN2 route, namely: Premium China Optimized KVM VPS and Premium China Optimized Openvz. When purchasing, you should check whether there is the word CN2. After actually testing the HostDare US CN2 VPS host, the results were not very good. (PS: Updated on 2019.2.21, this company’s lines have switched to CeraNetworks. Currently, China Telecom’s two-way CN2GIA, China Unicom’s outbound CN2GIA return China Unicom line, China Mobile’s two-way mobile line) On the one hand, it is HostDare US CN2 VPS host The IO is very slow. I purchased an OpenVZ VPS, and the tested IO read and write speed was only 50MB/s. On the other hand, the file download speed tested from my local telecom is not very fast. This may be caused by network instability, or HostDare has limited the bandwidth of the VPS host.   In order to better help everyone choose a CN2 VPS host, I have created a special page: Summary of access to CN2 line VPS host providers and computer rooms.
