ShockHosting Japanese data center VPS simple test

On the 11th of this month, ShockHosting sent an email about a new data center in Tokyo, Japan, and said that other data centers can be transferred to Japan. I happened to have a data center in the United States, so I sent a work order to apply for a new one. Here is a simple test for your reference. ShockHosting was founded in 2013 and currently provides VPS hosts in 11 data centers, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Jacksonville, New Jersey, Australia, Singapore, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Official website: https://shockhosting.net/

Computer room and configuration

As we mentioned earlier, the VPS host is located in the Tokyo data center in Japan, with a single-core CPU, 2GB memory, 30GB SSD hard drive, 1TB monthly traffic, 1Gbps port, and the operating system is CentOS7.*

Basic test information

IO and bandwidth testing

Use two one-click packages to test separately. The following is the result of the first test. The IO performance and bandwidth are still good.

The second test had similar results to the first. A large number of nodes from mainland China were added to the bandwidth test below, and the bandwidth was okay.

Outbound Routing

Use online tools to test the host line from China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom respectively.

In the test of three networks, China Telecom is better than China Unicom and China Mobile. Mobile users should choose carefully.

Backhaul Routing

The return route is tested directly in the VPS using a one-click package, and the test results are posted below.

Ping Test

We used IPIP.NET to select more than 200 nodes in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Asia for ping test. The results were average, after all, it's not the West Coast of the United States.

In general, the latency of the same operator in different regions of the country varies greatly. For example, the ping value of some areas of China Telecom is very low, but the latency is higher in some areas. However, the bandwidth of the machine is still relatively sufficient, and the host IO is good.
