A Los Angeles cloud host selling three bandwidth classes from one configurator — the CN2 GIA / 9929 / CMIN2 triple-optimised class is the real product, with AMD EPYC hardware and native US IPs as the strengths, while the middle class shares its marketing but not its carriers.

Rating
3.8 3.8 out of 5
Starting price $6.50 per month (1 vCPU / 4 GB / 3 TB traffic on the US native class, read from the configurator); the same specification re-prices when the bandwidth class changes

Pros

  • The Premium class is a genuine three-carrier route — CN2 GIA, AS9929 and CMIN2 named per carrier, not a single-carrier product wearing a premium label
  • AMD EPYC hardware with independent benchmarks: Geekbench 5 single-core 1011 to 1308 across two tests, 1245 on the Premium class
  • Native US IPs unlock broadly — a first-hand test found Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, TikTok, Spotify and ChatGPT all unlocked natively
  • A configurator that prices CPU, memory, disk, traffic and IPs separately, so you can decline what you do not need
  • A published SLA with a named credit table: half a month below 99%, a full month below 95%, two months below 90%
  • Root access on standard KVM, system templates, and free private IPs
  • The vendor answers in community threads under its own name and owned the 2025 billing failure publicly, compensating affected users
  • Bare metal shares the same three bandwidth classes as the VPS configurator ($860.00 and up), so you can scale up in place

Cons

  • "All payments received are non-refundable", with refunds credited only as a non-withdrawable balance; "poor network quality" and "suffering a DDoS attack" are explicit exclusions
  • A payment dispute is billed back at $40 per hour in 15-minute increments, with services offline until it is paid
  • The SLA commits to 99% and then excludes DDoS attacks, upstream and third-party failures, resource-limit enforcement, and any IP blocked by a third party; claims must be filed within 3 days
  • Three bandwidth classes share one page under names that read as near-equivalents, but only one carries the premium carriers — the middle class tested as returning over Unicom 4837 whichever carrier was tested
  • No stable published price list: the configurator re-prices as options change, and the entry selection moved from $11.50 to $6.50 between two reads minutes apart
  • The vendor admitted shipping bidirectional billing to production without full testing, which halved metered traffic on existing plans mid-contract

Pricing

Premium — CN2/9929/CMIN2 (the triple-optimised class)

Variable priced in the configurator, not on a card

  • The class the marketing describes: CN2 GIA for China Telecom, AS9929 for China Unicom and CMIN2 for China Mobile
  • An independent YABS and traceroute test on this class measured Geekbench 5 single-core 1245 on AMD EPYC-Rome hardware
  • Third-party testing found the same class unlocking Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and ChatGPT on a native US IP
  • Sold under the L3 prefix in the vendor's own SKU codes and in every Chinese-language review

Platinum — 163/10099/CMI (the half-optimised class)

Variable priced in the configurator, not on a card

  • Described by the vendor as a three-carrier optimised route, but built on China Telecom 163, Unicom 10099 and Mobile CMI rather than the premium carriers
  • A first-hand test of this class found the return path resolving as Unicom 4837 regardless of carrier — the half-optimised class did not behave as its label claims
  • Sold under the L2 prefix; community testing calls it '没有优化完全' (not fully optimised)

Global BGP — Cogent/Arelion (the US native class)

$6.50 per month (1 vCPU / 4 GB / 3 TB, read from the configurator 27 September 2026)

  • No optimisation toward mainland China at all, and the vendor's own family name says so: 美国原生 (US native)
  • An independent test on this class measured 1011 single-core / 1957 multi-core Geekbench 5 and fio 4K read at 122 MB/s
  • The same test measured 99%+ streaming unlock rates on a native IP, but 606 ms average to Netflix and 269 ms to YouTube
  • Sold under the L1 prefix; community consensus is that this class is for landing traffic, not for direct use from China

Bare metal servers (bms)

$860.00 per month and up

  • Five SKUs read: bms.s1g.xlarge at $860, up to bms.i1c.8xlarge at $999, all marked Low Stock
  • Dual Xeon Gold 6140/6148 with 64–128 GB DDR4 and 1.6–6.4 TB NVMe, 10 IPv4 and 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps
  • Bare metal carries the same three bandwidth classes as the VPS configurator

GPU rental / CDN / object storage / transcoder

See site various; several are marked Public Beta

  • CDN, object storage and transcoder are all labelled Public Beta in the site footer
  • Object storage is $0.0004/GB/day for both standard and infrequent-access classes, with $0.0051/GB egress
  • Transcoding is billed by output minute from $0.0005/min for SD H.264 up to $0.16/min for 4K AV1

Who it is for

  • Buyers who specifically need a mainland-China route and will pay for the triple-optimised class rather than the cheaper lookalikes
  • Users who want to configure CPU, RAM, disk and traffic independently instead of accepting a fixed plan card
  • Buyers who need a native US IP for streaming or account registration alongside a China-optimised route
  • Buyers who want independent Geekbench and traceroute evidence in the decision — this catalogue has it for the top class
  • Anyone willing to accept a non-refundable purchase and test the line in the first three days
  • Buyers who just need unmanaged cloud infrastructure with full root
