## Plan Details

### DE Frankfurt AMD Specials

- **Starter**: 1 core / 1GB / 10GB NVMe / 1 IPv4 / 1TB@200Mbps, AS9929
- **Standard**: 2 cores / 2GB / 20GB NVMe / 1 IPv4 / 2TB@200Mbps, AS9929

> The more generous promotional tier for Europe: more transfer and a faster port than the Hong Kong specials, useful when you need an EU landing point with a China-oriented return path.

### HongKong AMD Specials

- **Starter**: 1 core / 1GB / 10GB NVMe / 1 IPv4 / 500GB@100Mbps, BGP
- **Standard**: 2 cores / 2GB / 20GB NVMe / 1 IPv4 / 1TB@100Mbps, BGP

> Lowest latency of the three locations, but tight on transfer and port. Fine for a panel, jump host or a small site — not for heavy downloads.

### Los Angeles AMD ISP Specials

- **Starter**: 1 core / 1GB / 10GB NVMe / Dual ISP IPv4 / 500GB@100Mbps, 9929+CMIN2
- **Standard**: 2 cores / 2GB / 20GB NVMe / Dual ISP IPv4 / 1TB@100Mbps, 9929+CMIN2

> Dual ISP addresses are datacenter-hosted, not residential. Outbound to China uses 9929/CMIN2; the return path is not optimized so the ISP attribute is preserved. Some geo databases may mis-locate the IP to mainland China. The vendor does not offer refunds for these reasons.

## Datacenters and Network

| Location | Route | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Frankfurt | AS9929 | EU landing, China Unicom 9929 return |
| Hong Kong | BGP | Usually the lowest latency |
| Los Angeles | 9929 + CMIN2 | Dual ISP; outbound optimized, inbound not |

Confirm latency on the vendor Looking Glass before buying.

## Buying Notes

- Prices are in USD; Special Offer plans are annual only
- Promotional plans are non-refundable
- Dual ISP inbound is not optimized and geo-location can be wrong
- Transfer is Fair Use

## Conclusion

Start with **DE Frankfurt AMD Starter ($45/year)** if you want the most transfer and port for the money. Choose Hong Kong for latency, or Los Angeles Dual ISP if you specifically need that IP attribute and can accept a non-optimized return path and no refunds.
