Pros

  • Premium carries genuine China Telecom CN2 GIA plus dedicated peering to China Unicom (AS9929) and China Mobile International (AS58807) — three-carrier return routing is what you are paying for
  • LAX Premium TINY at $10.90/month is the lowest verified CN2 GIA entry price, with 2 GB of RAM and 1,000 GB of CN2 GIA transfer
  • Tier 1 is priced identically in Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Tokyo — $6.90/month or $36.90/year for the same 1 vCore, 1 GB plan, so a Hong Kong or Tokyo IP carries no Asia surcharge
  • Premium and Eyeball are price-identical across the $10.90 to $199.90 range while Eyeball carries 50% to 100% more transfer — the same money buys either routing or volume
  • Refund policy is published in numbers: full refund within 3 days under 30 GB of transfer, partial refund within 30 days, and account-credit refunds carry no fee
  • SLA is 99% with stated compensation — half a month below 99%, a full month below 95%, two months below 90%
  • IP replacement is a written policy rather than a favour: free after 7 days on Pro and Eyeball, $5 otherwise, with ICMP and all TCP ports blocked as the qualifying condition
  • Three locations and three network tiers on one account, a /64 IPv6 prefix on every instance, and both AMD EPYC generation and network tier stated per plan — the details budget hosts leave unsaid

Cons

  • The AUP prohibits public proxy services and VPN tunnels to China — the single most common reason buyers look at DMIT in the first place. An encrypted private proxy for your own use is expressly allowed; a public proxy service is not
  • Hong Kong Premium costs $39.90/month for 1 vCore and 500 GB of transfer, 3.7x the Los Angeles price for the same plan name — unless the box must sit in Hong Kong, LAX Premium or the identically priced Tier 1 is the better buy
  • The AN4 (EPYC 9004) hardware line is listed at Los Angeles with prices but every plan reads Out of Stock — the effective ladder jumps from AS3 to AN5, which costs 8% to 21% more for the same specification
  • AS3 Premium stops at MEDIUM (6 vCore, 8 GB), so anything larger means AN5 — the combination of AS3 pricing and more than 6 vCore does not exist
  • Remote root password login is disabled by default, so an SSH key comes before anything else, and downgrades are not supported on any series — moving down means a new instance and a data migration
  • The public review record is thin: Trustpilot is 2.6/5 from 4 reviews, 100% one-star, three of them from 2026, while VPSIUM gives 4.6/5 from 9 — both samples are too small to treat as a verdict

Pricing

Tier 1 — WEE (annual)

$36.90 per year

  • 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD and 1,000 GB of transfer billed as max(in, out)
  • The cheapest way onto the platform and the only entry plan billed yearly — $36.90 spread over twelve months is $3.08/month
  • No China-specific routing — this is the Tier 1 network by definition; the right buy when the machine is in Asia but the visitors are not in mainland China

Tier 1 — TINY

$6.90 per month

  • 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD and 2,000 GB of transfer billed as max(in, out)
  • Same specification and same price in Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Tokyo on the AS3 platform — a Hong Kong or Tokyo IP without an Asia-region surcharge
  • Unidirectional-maximum billing counts only the larger of upload and download

Premium — TINY (Los Angeles)

$10.90 per month

  • 1 vCore, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 1,000 GB of transfer and a 1 Gbps port
  • The cheapest route onto the Premium network, and therefore onto China Telecom CN2 GIA — the lowest verified CN2 GIA entry price this site has found
  • Eyeball TINY costs the same $10.90 and carries 1,500 GB instead of 1,000 GB — same money, so choose routing or volume

Premium — TINY (Tokyo)

$21.90 per month

  • 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 500 GB of transfer and a 1 Gbps port
  • Double the Los Angeles price for a Tokyo node — only worth the difference when the machine has to sit in Japan
  • Tokyo Premium sits ~30 ms from mainland China by DMIT's own measurement

Premium — TINY (Hong Kong)

$39.90 per month

  • 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 500 GB of transfer and a 1 Gbps port
  • Hong Kong is the lowest-latency node at ~15 ms — the only entry on this table that buys the shortest route home
  • At 3.7x the Los Angeles Premium TINY price for half the RAM and half the transfer, and the line sells out for weeks at a time

Premium — MINI (Los Angeles, AN5)

$79.90 per month

  • 4 vCore, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD, 5,000 GB of transfer and a 10 Gbps port
  • The AN5 (EPYC 9005) line starts at MINI and costs $7/month more than the same AN4 plan — the entry point when you need a 10 Gbps port and this much machine
  • The last AS3 Premium plan below it is MEDIUM at $199.90 for 6 vCore and 8 GB

Who it is for

  • Businesses and cross-border teams whose own visitors or staff are in mainland China or the wider Asia-Pacific — the buyer this product is actually built for
  • Sites and APIs that need CN2 GIA routing to China at the lowest entry price, which is LAX Premium TINY at $10.90/month with 2 GB of RAM and 1,000 GB of CN2 GIA transfer
  • Buyers who need a cheap Hong Kong or Tokyo IP without China optimisation — Tier 1 is $6.90/month at all three locations, or $3.08/month on the annual WEE plan
  • Anyone who wants more transfer for the same money: Eyeball matches Premium's price in Los Angeles and Hong Kong and carries 50% more at the entry tier
  • Anyone who wants the terms in writing before paying: refunds, SLA credits, transfer overage behaviour and IP changes are all published with numbers
  • Developers who want to own the machine rather than buy managed hosting — a self-service bare KVM instance with one-click OS installs
