How much does a dedicated server in Hong Kong cost per month?

Why do some Hong Kong servers cost under $100 a month?

The Hong Kong offers under $100 a month share three traits: an old CPU, a thin line, and often a route built for mainland China. Server.HK listed a Xeon E3-1230 v2, a 2012 chip, for $45.00 with 30 Mbit/s of bandwidth. Dataplugs started at $99.00 with a 2014 Xeon and 100 Mbit/s. RAKsmart's $99.00 box had a 20 Mbit/s line, and it did not confirm crypto for dedicated servers.

A 30 Mbit/s line moves at most about 9.7 TB in 30 days, flat out. Our servers run on 1 Gbit/s with 20 TB per 30 days. Every server has a 1 Gbit/s port with a monthly traffic allowance (Strait 16 20 TB, Strait 32 20 TB, Strait 32F 30 TB), one dedicated IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64; going past the allowance never triggers an automatic bill. No China-optimised route (CN2) is sold. What CN2 is, and who needs it, is covered in What is CN2 GIA, and do I need it on a Hong Kong server?

KoDDoS also had cheap Hong Kong boxes from $90.00, but all of them were out of stock on 2 November 2026. Its in-stock Dual E5-2620 v4 cost $215.00, on a 2016 CPU.

What do hosts without crypto charge in Hong Kong?

Card-only hosts were not cheaper at equal hardware. Leaseweb's Xeon E3-1270 v5, a 2015 chip, cost HK$1,224.93 ($156.13), and Leaseweb checks every new customer before delivery. OneProvider sold a Ryzen 7 3700X with 128 GB for $174.99. LayerStack's cheapest listed server cost $205.00, and DataPacket's EPYC 4245P €262 ($292.71).

Their strengths are real. DataPacket's server came with a 50 Gbit/s port, and OneProvider's with 100 TB of traffic. None of them takes crypto, so none counts toward our price rule.

What else adds to a Hong Kong server bill?

The sticker price is not always the bill. Watch for these extras:

• Bandwidth upgrades: Dataplugs sells 100 Mbit/s by default; a full 1 Gbit/s port costs $425 a month more.
• Setup fees: Leaseweb charged HK$460 on its 5-day builds. RedSwitches, KoDDoS and Anubiz Host showed none.
• Thin lines sold as unmetered: Ultahost's Hong Kong servers carried a 250 Mbit/s line and no stated IPv4 address.
• Currency: RedSwitches bills in euros, Leaseweb in Hong Kong dollars; the dollar price moves with the rate.

There is no setup fee, on the first order or on any renewal. Copperstrait prices are in US dollars and identical in all three ports.

Is Hong Kong cheaper than Singapore or Tokyo?

At no-KYC crypto hosts, Hong Kong was the cheapest of the three cities for a 16-core server: a median $425.00, against $903.51 in Singapore and $662.35 in Tokyo. The same box also cost less in Hong Kong. RedSwitches priced its Xeon E-2286G build at €251 in Hong Kong, €253 in Singapore and €354 in Tokyo.

Hong Kong had fewer qualifying sellers, though: 3, against 6 in Singapore and 6 in Tokyo. At Copperstrait the city changes nothing: Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo (Japan): every server in every city, at the same price. The two southern ports are weighed in Hong Kong or Singapore: which is better for dedicated server hosting?

What does Copperstrait charge for a server in Hong Kong?

Strait 16 costs $143.25 per 30 days in Hong Kong, 80% under the median of comparable servers at 7 hosts. The cheapest Hong Kong rival at its floor was €310.00 ($346.33) at RedSwitches. For Strait 32 it was $475.00 at KoDDoS. No Hong Kong host sold a server at the Strait 32F floor.
