Although Black Friday sales are almost over, I still want to share some information about the VPS providers I'm currently using. This is not just a purchasing recommendation, but also a report based on my personal, long-term experience.
My core strategy is:"Optimized route transfers" + "Residential IP address implementation".
Chapter 1: GreenCloud – Stable Backup and Streaming
I hold Green Cloud shares. Tokyo and Singapore Node (purchased last year during Singles' Day, three-year payment plan).
- Tokyo Node (IIJ vs SoftBank):
- line: I've experienced switching from SoftBank to IIJ. Based on my testing, for...Mobile broadbandFor users, both IIJ and SoftBank performed very well. China Unicom users may prefer SoftBank.
- Promotion: The Black Friday deal is about $88 for three years, and you can apply for double the memory/traffic, which is reasonably cost-effective.
- Singapore node:
- use: Mainly to unlock Disney+.
- surprise: Mobile broadband's direct connection support for Singapore nodes is surprisingly good, far superior to that of China Telecom and China Unicom.
- Avoiding pitfalls: Green Cloud's after-sales service is quite "rigid," and they generally don't offer refunds for promotional items. We recommend using [the product/service name - implied]. PayPal Payment allows for leeway in case of disputes (but may result in account suspension).
Chapter 2: IPRaft – A Highly Cost-Effective Residential IP Solution
This is what I use to doLandingThe main force, targeting various countries Residential IP (ISP IP).
- price: Highly competitive. Nodes in Silicon Valley/Los Angeles, USA, only require... $3/monthThere are even $2.25 Special offer. Annual payments also come with discounts (such as 30% or 10% off).
- use: Compared to fingerprint browsers that are billed based on data usage, owning a residential IP VPS is more suitable for frequent daily access (such as registering an account or browsing TikTok).
- shortcoming: The line is average, and direct connection speed (especially for mobile connections) is poor. Therefore, itIt is necessary to coordinate with the transituse.
Chapter 3: BandwagonHost – An Expensive but Reliable Transfer Service
The CN2 GIA / 9929 optimized line from Bandwagon Host is the "foundation" of my network environment.
- effect: As Relay ServerFirst connect to Bandwagon Host (to ensure speed and low latency), then redirect to IPRaft (to ensure IP purity).
- Buying tips: Bandwagon Host is usually inactive, and they may not have any major activities on Black Friday. RecommendationRegister an account in advanceOnce you receive a restock or promotional email (such as The Plan series), place an order immediately.
Summary and Recommendations
- Tips for beginners: Don't start by buying an expensive "family heirloom". First, buy a cheaper, smaller brand VPS to experiment and practice. Once you're familiar with the setup and transfer process, then you can consider holding a major brand long-term.
- My plan: In the future, we may consider consolidating distributed business operations onto a single high-performance server (such as DMIT or a high-spec dedicated server) to achieve "All in One" management.
