BandwagonHost VPS FAQ

Is BandwagonHost worth the price?
Yes when mainland China access is business-critical and regular international routes are too unstable. Not worth it for projects that only serve global audiences.
Is BandwagonHost good for self-hosting?
It can be, but mostly when your self-hosted apps or websites need China-friendly access. For non-China self-hosting, cheaper options exist.
What BandwagonHost plan should I start with?
For China-facing projects, look at CN2 GIA-E plans when stock is available. Start with a monthly or quarterly plan to test route quality in your target cities.
