Welcome, TotHost!

They’re a Vietnam-based provider offering service in Hanoi.  We don’t see Vietnam very often…I think Lightnode has service there, but it’s still considered an “exotic” locale.  The term “exotic” means a location that is very uncommon.  Dallas, Amsterdam, or Singapore are very common – we see offers every week.  Sofia, Bulgaria or Tokyo, Japan are less common, but it’s still easy to find service there.  But Vietnam is very rare, hence “exotic”.

Usually with exotic locations, you pay a lot more than you’d pay if you were in a popular location.  It’s not unusual to pay 2x or 3x the prices you’d find in major network cities.

Which brings us to what’s so awesome about this offer: you’re getting Dallas prices in Hanoi.  A 1GB system starts at only $2.85/month!  And that’s with unlimited data.  That price reflects a 20% discount for the first three months.

TotHost has been in business two years.  They’ve got a couple different product lines (K and M) and you can read about the differences on their web site.  While you’re there, review their TOS and Refund Policy.   Another nice feature is that unlike some exotic providers who only support obscure payment systems, TotHost accepts Paypal, Alipay, Alepay, USDT, and Visa/Mastercard.
