DigitalOcean announced Singapore Datacenter (SGP1)  vi. It is a new node physically in Asia. A lot of Chinese webmasters rushed to it.

I created a new droplet at SGP1. Just minimum size droplet.

  • 512MB/1CPU
  • 20GB SSD Disk
  • 1TB Transfer
  • Singapore Region
  • CentOS 6.5 x32
  • $5/month
