People from APAC regions, how to cope with high server cost?

I know that APAC regions does not get as-good deals compared to EU/US. Servers in APAC also tend to cost more i.e. bandwidth.
I have some EU VPSs but network speed & ping is very lackluster.
Do you people just eat the higher cost for a better experience or just cope with poor ping & speed to EU/US regions?

I use cheap EU VPS for development and use enterprise server provider here, Indonesia, for production. My main reason is to comply regulation that FHIR health data should be placed in Indonesian datacenter.
I cry
make more money
This makes me cry
my country got a super cheap provider with unlimited international bandwidth
so I'm pretty grateful for that
If i may know, what provider are you using?
when angels deserve to die?
I migrate.
Biznet.
U learn to deal with the bad ping and just buy shit in NA / EU
Meh it’s a lot better now especially if you buy during sales. Shockhosting $35 AUS dedi’s, Host Hatch (AUS storage now too) and flowvps make its simple
This stuff is very expensive on South America as well. I hate Oracle, but thank god they exist because servers locally here are absurdly expensive.
Chinese user here. While sometimes I read posts like "how do they live with 1/2/3/etc. Mbps servers", there are actually some smaller providers with quite high BW (they probably won't take foreign orders too). I also self-host a lot of stuff in my home server thanks to the dirty cheap FTTH connections and IPv6. So at least for my personal requirements (Plex, local dev, game servers and small website) the server price here is not a huge problem. GFW is.
These both are true for my case lol.
Just find better deals. Multi-year BF deals are usually best for APAC.
use dirty cheap machines from EU offers and use cloudflare so it reduce latency.
