How to choose VPS in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan in 2024? The difference between going overseas, e-commerce, games and AI

Hong Kong focuses on return travel and low latency, Singapore focuses on Southeast Asia coverage, and Japan is suitable for Japanese server games and Japanese market accounts.

Asia-Pacific node selection cannot be based solely on distance. Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan are suitable for different businesses: Hong Kong is often used for domestic team remote operations and low-latency connections, Singapore is suitable for Southeast Asian business, and Japan is suitable for Japanese server games, Japanese market accounts and content operations.

Cross-border e-commerce depends on the store's target market and the location of the customer service team; games depend on the target server; AI tools depend on the SaaS service area and account ownership. Different businesses may have completely opposite evaluations of the same node.

It is recommended to prepare at least two candidate areas and test them during real use periods. If you only use the speed test results during the day to make purchasing decisions, it is easy to encounter a gap in experience during the evening peak hours.
