Anybody here using Vultr's Tokyo location?

Interested in spinning up VM's in Vultr's Tokyo location. Heard good things about their CPU speed and bad things about their Sydney location (network issues). Nothing about Tokyo, hence my question: anyone here with a history at their Tokyo location? Any review/comments?

    Linode has good Japan location, I have their 1024 MB plan there and it works well. Vultr's isn't great but usable according to https://vpsboard.com/topic/3688-digitalocean-vs-vultr-the-asian-face-off/

    I quite can't see any network issues so far except to the mainland China.

    There are better options than Vultr.

    jeez when did this come alive?

    finally we can see some plans close to do mad plans the japs sell their own folks on japanese-only language sites.

    what are the payment types available?

    edit: available types of payment are debit/credit cards, bank transfer

    really wish there was PP

    @MikHo, @hostingwizard_net:

    Is it true that traffic from Vultr-Tokyo to Asia goes via the US? What's the ping to HK like?

    I like Vultr, performance is a lot better than DO.

    Did someone tried? - https://www.conoha.jp/en
    Probably better than Linode and Vultr, 930Y 6,80$
    Japanese now go English :)

    Yeah pricing looks great at https://www.conoha.jp/, but required some reviews about their service quality.

    They seems to be using KVM and control panel also looks great.

    930 Japanese Yen equals 7.9009 US Dollar

    and that's also before the sales tax (8%).

    Yep typo I calculate with EUR, so far better than 10$ on Linode. :)

    Not sure what's your point, I wasn't saying it's bad or anything, just corrected the posted price estimate.

    fitvpn said: so far better than 10$ on Linode

    Conoha only very recently gained an English version of their website, and even now, if you click "Help", it's not translated yet. Also it is only cheaper than Linode since not long ago as well, because of the JPY crash, it went down almost as much as the rouble. :)

  • robohostrobohost Member

    any test ip for this conoha?

    I've had a VPS in their Tokyo, Japan and don't seem to have any problems with connectivity (compared to my VPS in Singapore with DigitalOcean). Take a look at the ServerBear benchmarks to see the comparison. There's also not that many hosts to choose from that are in Asia and Japan specifically. This is because of the high cost of bandwidth and laws about having a server (so they can spy on you).

    Wat??

    @aglodek said:

    I should've been more specific when I said "laws about having a server (so they can spy on you)". What I was referring to was if you want to have a server in China hosting a website, you need to submit an application to the Chinese government detailing information about your website and the purpose of it. If they accept you, you get what's called an ICP license number which needs to be made public on your website or you'll get shutdown. It's also another way for the Chinese government and Chinese ISP's to censor what their citizen can view online. Even though a website is not hosted in China (and therefore doesn't need a ICP license), it is still blocked.

    @aglodek not bad in terms of network performance. However remember to enable the option "Stop the VPS if bandwidth limit is reached", otherwise you'll be scratching your head over double digit numbers.

    It's disabled by default. That said they did pay me 15$ credit for the outages in their Australian network.
