Hurricane Electric is a classic long-established network operator and colocation provider. Its core strengths are not low-cost VPS plans, but its self-operated global IPv4/IPv6 backbone, BGP Transit, Layer 2 Transport, colocation, and dedicated servers. Its network connects to a large number of internet exchanges and peers directly with many networks, with particularly strong IPv6 capabilities. Its Fremont and San Jose data centers are also geared more toward enterprise deployments, offering on-site staffing, remote hands, backup power, monitoring, and other operational safeguards.
Dedicated servers support Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD, and can include features such as root access, monitoring, usage statistics, backups, and off-site storage. The downside is that the website does not publish standard dedicated server configurations or pricing, so quotes are mainly handled by phone or email. Details on payments, refunds, DDoS protection, and abuse policies are also not disclosed in depth. In addition, there is no clearly advertised China-optimized route, so access performance from mainland China will depend heavily on the specific routing and local ISP.
Overall, it is a good fit for users who need US West Coast data centers, BGP bandwidth, IPv6, or enterprise colocation. It is not ideal for beginners looking for cheap VPS plans or a Chinese-language self-service purchasing experience.
