I have to say hosting in china is much more expensive than that is in US. I just built a small website for a shenzhen company ( job hunter — willcan executive search ) last month. Whenjob done, they asked me to move their website and email box to a new server.
I recommended EBLhost to them as I want to host their site on a cpanel host ( easy for me to maintain and backup ) . When I show eblhost ’s quote to them, they were suprised by the price
“Gee, so cheap!” me panic … They told me they host their site with http://www.net.cn/ the top one hosting and domain provider in china with a space 300M, ￥1150/year(plus mailbox). My god, a space with limited managed service can be sold at $150/year. But eblhost ’s standard package ( 1G space ) with cpanel licence only $40/year.
It seems i need to learn more about china hosting market, i believe there is big space left for good overseas IDC or hosting company like hostgator etc

If you expect traffic from China, there is nothing worse than finding out that web visitors are unable to connect to your website. It is known that there are thousands and thousands of sites that are out of reach from Chinese visitors. Most of them are not specifically banned because of ill content, but rather victim of random blocking by the GFW, or because they share the same IP (shared hosting) with a site that has been blocked. continue reading »
With the biggest population and the growing economy, China is considered the biggest markets in the world (if not ye, it will be). Everyone would like to take a share in the market, but there are so many things in china are different with international standards, hosting business is one of the things.
In China, many hosting companies are not running with the same operating system with their oversea competitors. Basically, the problems are
1. Technical support, most supports are at very low level and only few of the companies provide 24X7 service.
2. payment methods, credit card payments are usually not supported. Instead, direct deposit or alipay (a Chinese online payment transaction company) are widely used.
