- free tier: The host most often named in Chinese-language forums, quoted from its own front page: 20G KVM VPS with 20 GB RAID-10 SSD, 1 GiB RAM, 2 vCPU and 1 TB a month on a 1 Gbps port at USD 49.99 a year; 40G KVM at 2 GiB and 2 TB for USD 52.99 per half-year; 80G at 4 GiB and 3 TB for USD 19.99 a month; and a 320G shape at 16 GiB, 6 vCPU and 5 TB for USD 79.99 a month. Every plan allows datacenter migration, snapshots, rDNS and API access from its own KiwiVM panel. | unit: GiB | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: none

- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: institution | detail: Not established. The provider is US-registered and sells in USD, and the front page states no verification requirement.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): One terabyte a month is the term that binds, and the plan is annual, so an overrun is corrected only at renewal. The plan is unmanaged: the vendor states self-managed KVM, so a broken image is the buyer's problem and there is no managed support tier at this price. [1]
- limits note: One terabyte a month is the term that binds, and the plan is annual, so an overrun is corrected only at renewal. The plan is unmanaged: the vendor states self-managed KVM, so a broken image is the buyer's problem and there is no managed support tier at this price.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: The datacenter-migration feature is worth more than the price: a box that can be moved between locations without reinstalling is the cheapest way to test which region a workload actually needs.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: USD 49.99 a year is not the floor (DediOne at USD 3.99 a month and Tencent at CNY 99 a year are both cheaper), so this is recorded as the reference mid-price annual host with a migration feature, not as a bargain. The CN2 GIA plans that Chinese buyers actually pay for are on a separate store and were not read.
