SharkTech Los Angeles Public Cloud Windows VPS Real-World Performance Test

We recently grabbed a SharkTech (Shark) Los Angeles public cloud VPS during a promotional period. When placing the order, we selected the Los Angeles route, but the assigned machine wasn't actually in LA—they gave us a Denver server instead. After submitting a support ticket, they responded within two hours and switched us to the Los Angeles route. Today, we're putting this machine through its paces to see how it actually performs.

Route Tracing Analysis

Our testing location is Chongqing Telecom, and the connection goes straight out through Guangzhou to Los Angeles—no intermediate routing hops whatsoever.

The direct connection status shows excellent performance at 87%. When you're looking for a VPS that delivers clean, straightforward routing without unnecessary detours, this kind of direct peering makes a real difference in latency and stability.

For anyone running applications that need consistent low-latency connections to Asia—whether that's gaming servers, API endpoints, or real-time data processing—having this kind of direct routing eliminates a lot of the unpredictability you get with multi-hop connections.

Bandwidth Performance

We ran a speed test using Fast.com directly from the machine, and it clocked in at 700Mbps.

That's solidly in the "excellent" range—hitting above 500Mbps puts it at about 70% performance rating. For a public cloud VPS, especially one on the West Coast with direct connectivity to Asia, this kind of bandwidth delivery is pretty impressive. You're getting enough throughput to handle serious workloads without bottlenecking on network speed.

Bottom Line

After testing SharkTech's Los Angeles public cloud Windows VPS, the results speak for themselves: direct routing with no unnecessary hops, and bandwidth that actually delivers what's advertised. If you need a West Coast VPS with reliable connectivity to Asian markets and the horsepower to handle demanding applications, this setup checks the boxes. The support response time (under two hours to resolve a datacenter location issue) also shows they're paying attention. For projects where network quality matters as much as raw specs, SharkTech's LA route delivers the kind of straightforward performance you can actually build on.
