Anyone tried Lightnode.com and their many exotic locations?
Anyone had tried them?
They have really exotic locations like
Manila
Dubai
Riyadh
Bangkok
Phnom Penh
Dhaka
Sao Paulo
Johannesburg
and a lot of the standard locations I usually see with other hosting and cloud services.
Ive not seen this much exotic location for just like $7-10/m. Im trying a few of their Asia locations and its pretty decent so far.

Never knew they existed.
Kaopu Cloud reseller?
Yeah seems like it, since their IPs point to Kaopu. Altho I cant even navigate Kaopu's site since its all chinese. Dont see any visible way to change to english.

Oh it seems there is a link from kaopuyun.com redirecting to lightnode.com. So it might not be a reseller, but more of their international arm maybe?
Oh you translated it. Didnt think off that.
Nice info. Ive been looking for Dhaka VPS recently. Im trying it now, but didnt use the aff link.
I didnt know there was a 5% discount with using the aff link until I registered. They do have exotic locations like those mentioned.
If you want to have a try in Lightnode, I extremely recommend you use the aff link before you register.
Here is my aff link: https://www.lightnode.com/?inviteCode=RF3IRY&promoteWay=LINK

You have to note its an aff link and post the non-aff like this.

I got a VPS for $7/m which got 2gb ram already! Transfers tho are just 1TB.
@klever did you created VPS in Dhaka? If so, can you please post network speed test result here? Speedtest.net + yabs would be great. Thanks

Geekbench 5 Benchmark Test:
Yeah seems its capped at 100mbps on all locations. I got the same too on the locations I checked. Overall everything is pretty decent for the price and exotic locations.
Not sure if it's a legit rep but they're here now - @LightNode
i bet they havent bought the legal license
Probably real and gonna pay the piper soon.
Here is LightNode. Thanks for testing and experiencing our products. We indeed have those locations.
Our company is registered in Hong Kong. Our team has been providing IDC services to local enterprises since 2002, and now we are also a VPS provider. There are more than 20 server locations that we can support. To be sure, more locations and better service we will offer later.
Thank you for your use and comments!

Why is the flag for Manila upside down? You made me do a double take. I thought the country was at war! You gotta change this 😂

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. It has been corrected now. Peace has been restored.
Awesome to see you here. I just wish there was actually a free trial rather than depositing $10 to get the $5. But seeing those exotic locations, I took the gamble.
hey mind testing peering to china apparently their site states that their part of CN2 Gia
