2025 CN2/9929 Gaming VPS Guide: Low Latency Looks More Than Just Ping

Foreign service games and mobile game studios need to look at routing, packet loss, jitter, evening peak hours and target server areas at the same time.

The choice of gaming VPS can easily be misled by a ping test. Real-world experience also includes maximum latency, jitter, packet loss, routing changes, game server load and evening peak congestion. CN2 and 9929 are often more stable, but not the same in all regions and with all operators.

Asian server players can give priority to testing Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo; US server players can test Los Angeles or Seattle; European server players can test Frankfurt. Mobile game studios also need to pay attention to the account region and game service terms, and cannot just pursue the lowest latency.

It is recommended to record the time, local operator, target server, average delay, maximum delay and packet loss of each test. Only by testing again during the event or version update can we judge whether it is suitable for long-term use.
