Looking for a solid US VPS for 20–25 users — 2.5TB+, 300Mbps+, good China routing — <$25/mo
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm looking for a US VPS for a small group of around 20–25 users, and I'd love to hear from both providers and experienced LET members.
I'm not really looking for the cheapest VPS with the most CPU/RAM. Network quality is the priority.
What I'm looking for:
🇺🇸 Location: US — West Coast preferred, but I'm open to other locations if the routing is better.
👥 Users: ~20–25
🚀 Port: 300 Mbps minimum
📊 Traffic: 2.5 TB/month minimum
🌐 Routing: Good connectivity to China / Asia
⚡ Peak-hour performance: Stable latency and low packet loss during busy hours
📡 Ideally good routes for China Telecom / China Unicom / China Mobile
💻 Virtualization: KVM preferred
🔢 IPv4: Required
💰 Budget: up to $25/month
📅 Monthly billing preferred
What matters most to me
Network > stability > routing > everything else.
I don't need a huge amount of CPU or RAM. I'd rather have a modest VPS with a really good network than a powerful VPS with poor international routing.
I'm especially interested in providers that have:
Good US West Coast connectivity
Consistent performance during peak hours
Low packet loss to China
Good China Telecom / Unicom / Mobile routes
Premium or optimized international transit
A clean/reliable IPv4
I'm also not limited to the big-name providers. If you're a smaller provider with a genuinely good network, I'd be very interested in hearing about it.
Providers
If you represent a hosting company, please feel free to reply publicly with:
• Location / DC
• CPU / RAM / SSD
• Port speed
• Monthly traffic
• Network / upstreams
• Price
• Test IP / Looking Glass
• Any China/Asia routing information
A test IP would be especially helpful — I'll actually test it from multiple Chinese ISPs before deciding. 😄
LET members
If you've personally used something that fits this budget, I'd really appreciate your recommendations too.
Especially interested in real-world experience with peak-hour performance, rather than just benchmark results.
If you know a lesser-known provider that deserves more attention, please mention them! 👀
I'm happy to test several options and report back with the results.
Thanks everyone! 🙏

$25/m and 2.5TB? kind of hard. @gatewaysentryllc @NDTN
I know $25/m for these specs is a bit aggressive 😅 — but I'm hoping someone here has a good deal.
Looking for:
• 🇺🇸 US location
• 👥 ~20–25 users
• 🌐 300Mbps+ port
• 📦 2.5TB+ monthly traffic
• 🚀 Good routing to China / optimized CN connectivity
• 🌙 Stable during China peak hours
• 💰 Ideally ≤ $25/month
I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest VPS — network quality and stability are more important.
If you have something close, please drop the offer + test IP / looking glass + route details.
Even if you can't meet every requirement, feel free to suggest something close. I'm willing to consider a good network over raw specs.
Looking for a long-term provider if the performance is good. 🤝
Those provider above has CN optimized product with premium connectivity through AS9929, AS4837, CMIN2.
But, if you're okay with 170-180ms ping, then <$5/m vps is good enough
Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for. 👍
I'm mainly concerned about peak-hour performance and stability for 20–25 users, rather than just latency.
I'll check out Gateway Sentry and NDTN.
If you have a specific plan or test IP from either provider that you recommend, please send it over. I'd like to test it from China during peak hours. Thanks!

But I think none of this is cover their CN optimized service
Thanks! That's helpful.
So if the public Looking Glass doesn't cover the CN-optimized service, how can I test the actual CN-optimized route before purchasing?
I'm specifically looking for the Los Angeles CN-optimized VPS, and I'd like to test the route from China Telecom / China Unicom / China Mobile, preferably during peak hours.
Do Gateway Sentry or NDTN provide a test IP / test VPS / Looking Glass specifically for the CN-optimized network?
If not, do you know which specific product/plan I should look at?
