Don't expect much customer from China. People are not idiots, if you are using Vultr/Linode/etc why they just purchase a VPS from the corresponding provider and setting up their own proxy?

Nope, it really isn't. Not at Google's main competitors in this, such as Linode, DO or OVH.

After a while of being away from a host Ive used for a long time Ive picked up one of their offers and quickly did a bench to check on its performance.

From the remaining options, I would choose AWS over Linode and DO. Reason being that the AWS offerings are less likely to be oversold as they charge premium prices.

Tokyo, Japan Linode 6.34MB/s

Tokyo, Japan Linode 6.31MB/s

That said, here is my order for the ones you provided: Linode, AWS, DO, Vultr

DO > Linode > AWS > Vultr imo

Linode or DO. DO would come first though

b) Linode 120GB RAM 20 Cores

* Linode
