ConoHa Japanese VPS host experience - Tokyo data center speed is average Alipay payment

ConoHa is a hosting brand created by GMO Internet. It seems to have been established a few years ago, but it is very powerful. It launched various VPS discounts as soon as it came out, and compared with Linode, which sold for 20 US dollars at the time, it also provided Japanese Tokyo Computer Room, so it seems to be quite popular in mainland China. Later, due to the large number of users, the lines became worse and worse, and attention dropped.

As a Japanese VPS host, ConoHa has a computer room IP in Tokyo, Japan. The lines are directly connected to China Telecom and China Unicom (it will be very congested at night). Unlike other Japanese hosting providers, ConoHa's payment method is Alipay, which is obviously designed to do business with Chinese people. In terms of price, the monthly payment for a 1GB VPS is about 60 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective.

As for Japanese VPS, at present, even for Linode, the lines in the computer room are almost destroyed. At night, the speed is almost the same as that in the American computer room. When choosing a Japanese VPS, don't blindly worship the Tokyo computer room IP, but also carefully look at the lines. For example, some merchants' lines will even detour to the United States and then to mainland China, and the speed will be even slower.

For tutorials on using VPS hosts and servers, you can also check out:

1. Use of ConoHa.jp VPS host

First go to the official website: https://www.conoha.jp/, click to register an account, if Chinese does not appear, please select in the upper right corner of the page (it seems to be blocked by something). Then select the server to add in the background.

If you have not recharged, please go to the bill record in the upper right corner first, and then select Alipay to recharge.

On the VPS purchase page, you can choose the computer room location, memory size, operating system, Root password and some firewall settings. If you consider upgrading in the future, it is recommended to choose a 64-bit operating system. (Click to enlarge)

Wait a moment and ConoHa VPS will be activated successfully. This is the VPS host control panel, which includes power on and off, network information, resource overview, etc.

2. ConoHa.jp VPS performance evaluation

This is the CPU, hard disk IO and computer room bandwidth of ConoHa.jp VPS. From the data, the IO performance is still good. (Click to enlarge)

Use Benchmark to test the performance of the VPS, and the score is over 1,000.

The second test result was over 2000, and the score was still satisfactory.

3. ConoHa.jp VPS speed test

For Japanese VPS hosts, in addition to price being the biggest concern, speed is actually the key factor when we decide whether to use it. Directly use Winscp to upload files to the ConoHa.jp VPS server, the speed is about 300KB/s.

The download speed from ConoHa.jp VPS to the local computer remains above 500KB/s.

This is the Ping value response of ConoHa.jp VPS in mainland China. It is not very ideal and is basically above 100.

4. ConoHa.jp VPS upgrade method

Upgrade memory. Shut down the VPS first, then go directly to the detailed page of VPS management, and click Modify in the memory area.

Upgrade the hard drive. If you want to add a hard drive or mount a new hard drive, you can click "Disk Space" and then click Buy.

Go to the VPS details page and click Add Disk Space.

Add IP address. Click directly on the network to purchase a new IP. The number of IPs can be increased by up to 100.

5. Summary

The price of ConoHa's Japanese VPS is relatively cheap, but compared to Linode and Vultr, the number of computer rooms is smaller, and it seems that Windows cannot be installed in the background. In terms of speed, it performs normally during the day, but becomes slower at night.

Although the ConoHa Japanese VPS host will state the monthly payment when you purchase it, during actual use, the fee will be deducted based on the length of time you use it. At this point, I have to complain about the annual payment pitfalls of the host companies in mainland China.
