Tencent Cloud Korea·Seoul Rapid Lite Application Server offers 2 cores, 1GB RAM, 200Mbps unmetered bandwidth for just ¥35/month; 2 cores, 4GB RAM, 200Mbps for only ¥60/month.
Recently, Alibaba Cloud launched a lightweight package featuring 200Mbps unmetered bandwidth. Now, Tencent Cloud follows suit (still in beta testing at the time of writing; beta test application required for purchase). The package is available in most regions, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, and overseas, and offers excellent cost-performance. The bandwidth is likely shared and might experience dips during peak periods, but at this price point, it’s a great deal.
Network routing: Direct return for the three major Chinese ISPs, with outbound routes appearing to pass through the US (some outbound IP information suggests the US, but latency performance doesn’t indicate a significant detour).
