Composes withUSD 5.00 for 2 GB and 30 GB of NVMe in Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore is the cheapest APAC capacity and the only one with a 2 GB entry plan. The 100 Mbps port and the 2 TB cap make it a crawler worker rather than a serving host, and it is best option for a source that only answers from an Asian IP.
Reliabilitythe vendor advertises DDoS protection and a 30-day money-back guarantee on the homepage; no uptime SLA figure was read, and no incident was observed
NotesThe plan table is driven by a location selector and lists three network values per row (100, '100 Mbps', '10 Gbps'), so which figure applies to which location is not resolvable from the extracted table; the 100 Mbps reading is the one in the Network column.
