What Server is Good for Personal Blogs

What Server is Good for Personal Blogs

Just after Black Friday, I originally planned to buy a few small VPSs, and indeed, I bought several. However, after a few days of testing, I only kept one. The main reason was that I got lucky and registered a new Oracle account, scoring a very suitable cloud server for free. This saved me money, so I returned most of the VPSs I bought during Black Friday.


Black Friday Results

This Black Friday, I bought 4 VPSs in total, returned 3, and kept 1. Including three Oracle free VPSs, I now have 4 VPSs in hand. (Not counting Serv00, which can't be considered)

Claw HK 2C8G 8$/month

This is a Hong Kong VPS from Claw.cloud. Claw has been extremely popular in the tech community this year, mainly because it is backed by Alibaba Cloud. The company is located in the same place as Alibaba's overseas network promotion company, and the VPSs they sell are the same as Alibaba Cloud ECS. The daily price of Alibaba Cloud ECS is ridiculously high, making Claw's offerings highly cost-effective.

The biggest advantage of Claw's VPS series is that their Hong Kong servers use Alibaba Cloud's own direct routes to mainland China, performing excellently on all three major networks: China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. The only downside is that the 2C8G model I bought is not the most cost-effective. Although it's only $8, Claw has three cheaper options, with the most cost-effective being the $4 one.

  1. Claw HK 2C2G $6/month (Black Friday general discount)
  2. Claw HK 2C2G $4/month (special promotion + Black Friday limited)
  3. Claw HK 1C1G $2.8/month (special promotion)

Since I missed the $4 purchase window, I would have to pay a premium of about 70 on the MJJ forum to get it. To avoid encouraging scalping, I didn't go for it.

From a cost-performance perspective, the Claw HK 2C2G is the most suitable choice for personal blogs. Domestic latency can generally be kept under 50ms, and the excellent routing makes the loading speed almost indistinguishable from domestic VPSs.


Claw SG 1C1G 1.75$/month

Since I missed the $4 Claw deal, I also bought a Claw Singapore 1C1G VPS. However, I overestimated the condition of Alibaba's international routes before purchasing. This VPS is only suitable for China Unicom users, as China Mobile and China Telecom users will find it almost unusable. During peak hours at night, China Mobile's connection speed can drop below 200KB.

For Unicom users, this is a very good choice. However, since my phone card is from China Broadcasting and my home broadband is from China Mobile, I mostly use China Mobile's network. Only at work do I use Unicom's network, so this VPS is mostly useless to me. I returned it after a few days of use.

This VPS is clearly unsuitable for hosting websites, as China Telecom and China Mobile users would be frustrated. Moreover, a 1C1G VPS is only suitable for hosting static websites. For Java-based blogs like Halo, the installation process alone would likely crash the server.


Vmiss US CMIN2 1C1G 40CAD/year

Vmiss is a project by Canadian Chinese, mainly selling high-end routes with limited bandwidth and traffic. The cmin2 route VPS I bought is indeed fast. When pinging from multiple locations in China, whether on China Mobile, Unicom, or Telecom, the connection is stable, especially on China Mobile, with almost no fluctuations.

The main issue with this VPS is that the route is a bit expensive, costing 40 CAD per year, which is about 207 RMB, but it only comes with 400GB of traffic. I used it to host a static copy of this site and found that the latency across China is generally under 160ms. The 200Mbps bandwidth is sufficient for daily use, but if you don't need three-network optimization, there's no need to use this.

If you want to deploy a static website on your own overseas server, this VPS is a very suitable choice, with excellent three-network optimization. Additionally, static websites don't require much traffic, making it more cost-effective compared to DMIT or BandwagonHost. However, like the previous VPS, Vmiss's CPU is also quite weak. If you plan to install WordPress or Halo, you need to consider this carefully. WordPress is manageable with a LiteSpeed+SQLite setup, but Halo might be problematic to install.


Vmiss HK INTL 1C1G 18CAD/year

The Vmiss Hong Kong international route VPS is the only one I kept from this Black Friday. The main reason is that I use China Mobile's network, and this VPS offers an excellent experience for China Mobile users at a reasonable price of 18 CAD per year, which is about 93 RMB. During peak hours at night, my Guangdong China Mobile speed test can reach over 400Mbps, and during the day, it can almost max out the 500Mbps port. From the tests, it uses the NTT-CMIN2 route. However, China Telecom and Unicom users will find it almost unusable, with speeds dropping below 3Mbps during peak hours.

This single-network optimized VPS is also unsuitable for hosting websites. I originally planned to abandon platforms like GitHub Pages and Vercel for deploying static blogs and switch to VPS deployment. However, after testing, I found that even the Vmiss US CMIN2 route can only match Vercel. This path is now completely abandoned.


Oracle Sinapore West 4C24G FREE

It was a miracle that I managed to register an Oracle account on the last day of Black Friday. The credit card I used this time is a single-currency card from China Merchants Bank, which I applied for in 2014. Since it has no annual fee and I didn't need to worry about spending, I forgot about it until the bank called to inform me that I could replace the card. I logged into the China Merchants Bank app, submitted a new card application, and received it two days later.

Registering an Oracle account has always been a mystery. After successfully registering an account in the Hyderabad, India region, I tried multiple VISA and MasterCard credit cards but failed.

This time, as soon as I received the new China Merchants Bank VISA card, I tried it and succeeded on the first attempt. It was a pleasant surprise.

Although Oracle's Singapore route is also quite ordinary, I found that direct connections can still reach about 100Mbps. The main advantage is the powerful machine, coupled with a 4Gbps port, making even poor routes usable (some regions on China Mobile use the CMIN2 route). With Cloudflare, the speed can be stabilized at over 150Mbps.

The biggest issue with Oracle's servers is the routing. The routes to nearby regions like Japan and South Korea are already overused, while routes to farther regions have almost no optimization. If you want to host a website, you must use a CDN. I currently have two Hyderabad, India servers and this one, which are fine for light services when using a CDN. However, WordPress is still challenging and requires faster CDNs to compensate. Overall, if you use Cloudflare, the average domestic access time is about 1.5 seconds. If you have no other options, it's usable. I deployed services on Hyruo Homepage using Oracle servers, all with free Cloudflare. The last three are blog backups, which are still slower compared to Vercel and GitHub Pages.


Summary

Here are the deployment options for personal blog websites:

Static Blogs

  1. Prioritize platforms like Vercel and GitHub Pages, as these platforms are well-optimized, and there's no need to bother with self-hosting.
  2. If your domain is already registered, you can choose domestic platforms like Tencent Cloud or Alibaba Cloud, and the cheapest lightweight cloud option is sufficient. Additionally, Tencent recently launched EdgeOne, which seems to offer domestic acceleration for registered domains, but I can't test it.
  3. If you don't want to use platforms or register your domain, you can choose Vmiss, Dmit, or Claw (HK) servers with three-network optimization, whichever is cheaper.

Dynamic Blogs

  1. Prioritize domestic platforms, but both the domain and server need to be registered.
  2. Choose a three-network optimized server with at least 2C2G, whichever is cheaper. If your website is large, consider 4C/8C options.
  3. Use any cheap server with a CDN. For free options, use Cloudflare. For small traffic, try Quic.cloud (requires OLS) and other free CDNs.

Fusion Monster Test Results

Claw HK 2C8G Fusion Monster Test

I only tested the speed myself, and the China Broadcasting phone card had a latency of about 120ms, which is a stark contrast to the China Mobile card. Normally, the latency on Guangdong China Mobile should be under 20ms.

Claw SG 1C1G Fusion Monster Test

This test result is quite misleading. I bought it based on this test result before, only to find that low Ping on Mobile is completely meaningless if the speed can't keep up. Low Ping is useless if the speed is poor.

Additionally, although the test result shows Telecom as a premium route, Telecom might have routed through the US, resulting in high Ping and significantly worse stability.

On the other hand, Unicom quietly performs exceptionally well on a regular route, not only with low Ping but also strong stability, almost like a straight line.

Mobile, however, is completely unusable.

Vmiss cmin2 1C1G Fusion Monster Test

I overestimated the CPU capability of this one, thinking it could score around 1200 like Claw, but it fell short. The key issue was that it crashed during the PHP test and couldn't reconnect. The entire usage period didn't exceed 1 day before I requested a refund.

Test results from Nodeseek

Vmiss HK intl 1C1G Fusion Monster Test

This product focuses on international routes. For domestic routes, Telecom and Unicom detour through Japan and the US respectively, while Mobile directly connects to the mainland via Hong Kong NTT, which is evident from the Ping results. It is only suitable for Mobile users.

The return route might not have been detected due to the security group settings.

 97Oracle's product also routes through China Telecom and China Unicom, with only China Mobile providing a direct connection. However, due to the poor TATA line, even with a direct connection, the bandwidth from China Mobile is not high. On the other hand, the China Unicom line is worth investigating; although it routes through, it might still offer better speeds than China Mobile.

Oracle India Hyderabad ARM Fusion Monster Test

Oracle India also has mysterious routing. Both China Telecom and China Unicom routes go through the UK and the US. Although China Mobile doesn't go as far, it still routes through TATA, then via Hong Kong and enters through Shanghai (the China Mobile route result might not have been detected due to security group settings not being open).

Oracle India Hyderabad AMD Fusion Monster Test

This test failed directly, probably because I only opened a few ports due to security group settings. It's a bit troublesome to log in to the backend to change the security group, so I didn't bother testing it again myself.

Test results from Sihai Tribe

I simply used Tracert to test. For China Mobile, this route goes through Singapore, then Taipei, then Hong Kong, and enters through Shanghai—a mysterious route. However, China Unicom seems to be better, directly connecting from India to Singapore, and then exiting Singapore via AS4837, theoretically stronger than China Mobile and China Telecom. This is somewhat different from the results below, where China Unicom routes through the UK.

Network Issues

In summary, online evaluation results can only be used as a reference. You really have to test the network speed yourself to know the real situation. Without personal experience, you can never know the actual performance.

For example, with the Claw SG mentioned above, I saw online evaluations suggesting that Mobile performance was acceptable. However, upon actual use, I found that Mobile performance was terrible. While Unicom could reach 800Mbps, Mobile could only manage 2Mbps, a 400-fold difference in experience.

Moreover, different regions may have different ISP performances. For instance, the Oracle India AMD I tested seemed to have decent Unicom routing, but others found it routed through the UK, which is a world of difference.

In conclusion, when purchasing foreign servers, always opt for those with a refund guarantee or trial period. Test immediately after purchase, and if the performance is not up to par, refund promptly to minimize losses. Otherwise, it will just sit idle.

However, even with poor routes, there are remedies. Simply using Cloudflare can often improve performance. For example, with the Claw SG mentioned above, direct connection download speeds of 200KB/s can be improved to 10MB/s with Cloudflare, which is acceptable for general use.

But this might defeat the purpose of purchasing the server.

If you're just going to use Cloudflare, where's the fun in selecting a server?
