Hosting in China can be a nightmare without the experience and the knowledge of what is going on behind the scenes. The Great Firewall of China is a familiar term representing the fact that a great deal of information gets monitored and filtered under your very eyes. Many sites seem to be blocked from within China for no apparent reason and can only be viewed with the use of a proxy server.

Hosting from within China has several advantages. Speed is a big factor which is an obvious reason. Sites also seem to be indexed by search engines slightly quicker and emails tend to get through spam filters a little easier.

The main disadvantage is the quality and stability and lack of communication as to why a site may be experiencing down time. The price is on par with hosting in the US although on the cheaper end of the scale, some hosts are super cheap. Price shouldn’t be the only factor to base a decision on though as there is some truth in “you get what you pay for”.

Many clients are worried that their sites will be blocked by China even if they host within China. We provide peace of mind and guarantee that if the content is not deemed illegal by Chinese standards, we can make it seen in China, and even overseas for that matter.

If reliability is critical, mirroring a website, that is hosting your website both within China and (popularly) in the US is also an option well worth considering. Having a splash page that detects their IP and then diverting them to the closest mirrored server is a popular strategy.

In the end, paying a few dollars extra to being able to sleep easy at night is well worth it as we have been in the hosting business for a long time and have the experience and professionalism to buffer our clients from all the potential problems that can arise with hosting.
