Lightlayer Japan Tokyo VPS $9 per month, 1C1G configuration running more than 500 days. CPU single core 1214 minutes, 4K random read and write about 600 IOPS. Telecommunications outbound was not detected by CN2, Jiangsu telecom to Tokyo responded approximately 3950.5ms, three network outbound latency is generally around 4050ms; return can be seen in CN2 GIA, CTGNET, AS9929 , CMIN2.
What is it?
When building Chinese stations, wanting better control speed or international line overseas cloud servers need CN2 optimization, Japan Tokyo VPS is often compared. The previous review mentioned that Lightlayer Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan lines have provided CN2 optimized lines, especially for telecommunications network journeys to and from each other; but this time the Japanese Tokyo Telecom trip did not detect CN2.
| Projects | What is it? |
|---|---|
| Background in business | Lightlayer; Laos previous review mentioned that Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan lines provide CN2 optimization routes, especially for telecommunications networks with both outbound and return journeys of CN2; this time Tokyo Telecom in Japan did not detect CN2. |
| Tested configuration | Lightlayer Japan Tokyo VPS, 1C1G; memory default is 1G, Laos adds flash storage; runs for more than 500 days |
| The processor | AMD EPYC 7702; CPU with a single core of 1214 |
| Memories | Single-thread read 29.34GB/s, write 14.15 GB/s |
| Bandwidth | 10M bandwidth with unlimited traffic; 20M band width for 1TB of traffic; expandable IP number, memory, hard disk and bandwidths |
| The Price | $9/month; expanded pricing, payments and refunds not disclosed |
| Stored | Large block sequence read 1.0 GB/s, write 311 MB/s; 4K random reads and writes about 600 IOPS |
| Going | Telecommunications to CN2 not detected, Jiangsu telecoms to Tokyo final target IP response about 39.5ms; Mobile through Nanjing, Shanghai mobile AS9808 and then via CMI international line into Japan; Unicom through AS4837 and then by AS10099 international line to Japan; Three-network routing delays are generally around 40.50ms |
| Returned | Telecommunications direction CN2 GIA, CTGNET; AS9929 for interconnection with Beijing, some directions return home via mobile CMI and CMIN2; general mobile direction |
How to Choose
| The scene | Suggestions | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Lightweight sites, Linux services and regular scripts | That's right. | CPU single core 1214 points, memory read/write performance is entry level |
| Bower panels or official stations | Caution | 2GB or more is recommended by the manufacturer; it has recently been seen that there isn't enough memory for a two-gigabyte tower panel. |
| Database-intensive websites, high frequency reading and writing of small files | Not recommended | 4K random reads and writes at about 600 IOPS, significantly weaker than sequential read/write |
| I need a telegram to CN2. | Not recommended | No sign of CN2 on the telegraph route. |
| See also CN2 GIA, AS9929 and CMIN2. | That's right. | Return direction detected for corresponding line of merchandise |
| China's delayed visit to Japan | That's right. | Jiangsu Telecom's response time is about 39 to 50.5ms, and the three-network latency is generally around 40 to 50ms. |
Notes and notes
- The proximity of Tokyo, Japan to China's eastern region is the main network advantage of this VPS; three-network routes are more direct and without CN2 do not equal a detour.
- The $9 per month Japanese VPS has some competitive return lines, but the hardware is more entry-level; 1C1G is suitable for testing and the official website recommends starting with 2GB or more of memory.
- 4K random reads and writes of about 600 IOPS will affect database, cache, log writing and high-frequency small file operations. Scenarios such as these require a reassessment of configuration.
- 10M bandwidth for unlimited traffic and 20M for 1TB of traffic, depending on business volume; the number of IPs to be expanded, memory, hard disk or bandwidths are not disclosed.
- The Lightlayer Japan Tokyo VPS has been running for more than 500 days, and the company believes that stability is good; long-term performance remains affected by merchant maintenance, engine room lines and system failures.
- Suitable for legitimate uses such as construction, development testing and foreign trade operations without violating local regulations.
- Information checked for 2026-06-22; if $9/month is a limited time offer, the event may be over. Specifications, prices and routes are official.
FAQs
- Lightlayer Japan VPS is CN2? Telecommunication return directions detected the CN2 GIA and CTGNET boutique lines, but telecommunications outbound paths were not detected in CN2; mobile and connectivity outbound tests are also more direct.
- Is $9 per month not worth it? From a linear perspective, the $9-per-month Japanese VPS roundup has CN2 GIA, AS9929 and CMIN2 optimization features that are competitive for lightweight site builds and development tests; database intensive scenarios aren't recommended.
- Is 1C1G capable of station building? The owner recommends that the station be built with 2GB or more memory; it is better suited for testing, Linux services and regular scripts.
- What is the impact of 4K random read/write 600 IOPS on database-intensive websites, caching, logging and high frequency small file read/writing operations?
- What is the latency of Jiangsu Telecom's access to Tokyo, Japan? The final target IP response in the test was about 39 by 50.5ms.
