Why Beijing
Why host a VPS in Beijing?
Traffic between mainland China and the rest of the world crosses national network boundaries, which adds delay and can be unreliable. A server inside China avoids that crossing for users on the mainland.
Beijing and Shanghai are China's political and financial centres, and both have dense local networks. A VPS in either city suits applications that target Chinese users directly.
You can also browse all VPS locations or check the prices for every plan before you decide.
Who it reaches
From Beijing and Shanghai you serve users across mainland China over domestic routes. Hong Kong, Taiwan and the rest of East Asia are reachable, though Tokyo or Seoul can be closer for audiences there.
Data and privacy
ICP filing, PIPL and the Cybersecurity Law. Websites hosted in mainland China generally need an ICP filing before they can go live. The Personal Information Protection Law and the Cybersecurity Law also affect how data is handled, so take local advice.
Who it is for

Questions
China VPS FAQ
Do I need an ICP filing for a China VPS?
Websites hosted in mainland China generally need an ICP filing from the authorities before they can go live. Check the current rules and the documents you need before you launch.
Why host in China instead of Hong Kong or Singapore?
A server on the mainland gives users in China a direct domestic route. Hosting outside the mainland avoids the filing but adds cross-border delay for those users.
Can I host a Chinese-language website on a China VPS?
Yes. A VPS runs any stack you install, so serving Simplified Chinese content needs only the right encoding and fonts.
How much does a VPS in China cost?
A VPS in China starts at $14.99 per month for 1 core and 2 GB of RAM and goes up to $319.99 per month for 16 cores and 64 GB. Every location uses the same plans and prices, and the price stays the same on renewal.
Which operating systems can I use on the China VPS?
Linux (Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux) and Windows Server. Pick one when you order, and reinstall a different one later from the control panel.
Are backups included with a VPS in Beijing?
No. Snapshots and backups are not included, so copy important data off the server on a schedule and test a restore. You have full root or administrator access to set up the tool you prefer.
