Hong Kong VPS — Cloud Servers, No ICP Filing
Hong Kong sits closer to southern mainland China than any other offshore location we sell, and because it is outside the mainland regulatory scope, sites can go live without ICP filing. This is our higher-performance tier, aimed at production sites rather than experiments.

Common questions
Do I still need ICP filing with a Hong Kong server?
No. ICP filing applies to hosting inside mainland China; Hong Kong is outside that scope, which is the main reason people pick it for China-facing sites.
Will it be fast from mainland China at peak hours?
Peak-hour behaviour depends on the route your ISP takes, not just on distance, and it varies between carriers. We do not publish figures we cannot guarantee — test the route yourself with the guides below, and talk to support before buying if routing is critical for you.
What is the difference from the Japan plan?
Hong Kong is closer to southern China and carries a higher spec; Tokyo is the cheaper entry point and often the better fit for Japan and Korea traffic.
Not sure which plan fits?
Tell sales what you are running and where your visitors are — you will get a straight recommendation, not an upsell.
