📄 Editorial Review

GigsGigsCloud is a Hong Kong–based hosting brand positioned as an extension of GigsGigs.com and operated under TechAvenue International Ltd. The focus is on VPS, cloud servers and bare metal dedicated servers, with special attention to Asia-Pacific connectivity and optimized routes into mainland China. The brand is aimed at users who need low-latency access to Asian networks, particularly China, rather than classic mass-market shared hosting.
GigsGigsCloud is a service built to provide affordable yet stable and reliable VPS and cloud hosting. The wider TechAvenue group is involved in data center and VoIP services in both Hong Kong (TechAvenue International Ltd) and Malaysia (TechAvenue Sdn Bhd), so GigsGigsCloud sits inside a broader infrastructure and telecoms context rather than as a stand-alone reseller.
On the product side, GigsGigsCloud’s portfolio revolves around:
  • Cloud VPS / Cloud Servers – Offered in several regions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, the United States (Los Angeles), and the Philippines. Many plans highlight direct China route options (CN2 GIA, China Telecom/Unicom/Mobile, PCCW, etc.) and are marketed as "Premium China KVM VPS" or "Asia VPS" for users needing good performance into China. Virtualization technologies include OpenVZ containers and KVM VPS, and there are both Linux and Windows VPS variants in some locations (for example, Hong Kong Windows cloud VPS).
  • Bare Metal Dedicated Servers – Dedicated servers are available in Hong Kong, Singapore, Los Angeles and the Philippines, including standard bare metal and Anti-DDoS dedicated servers. These are positioned for customers who need full control of hardware and higher, more consistent performance than VPS can offer.
  • Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS) – A middle ground between VPS and full dedicated servers, with dedicated CPU cores and RAM but on a virtualised platform. VDS plans are offered in Hong Kong, Singapore and the US (LAX), designed for users who want predictable performance without renting an entire physical machine.
  • Anti-DDoS / Premium China Services – Separate lines of Anti-DDoS cloud and dedicated servers and "Premium China" KVM VPS plans emphasize mitigation against DDoS attacks and optimized routing into Chinese networks. These are aimed at businesses whose traffic profile or geography makes them frequent targets or heavily dependent on China-bound performance.

Network and infrastructure are a major part of their positioning. GigsGigsCloud stresses that they build and own their network for enterprise-grade usage, optimizing it for "fastest Asia access with highest throughput and lowest latency." The features overview references connectivity and peering with well-known carriers such as Hong Kong Broadband Network, NTT Communications, TATA, GTT, Cogent, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile and PCCW, which reinforces the Asia-first, China-optimized angle.

Hardware is branded servers only, with thorough load testing before production. Multiple cloud VPS pages mention that cloud servers are powered by Intel and AMD EPYC processors, up to 128 cores, which is more than sufficient for heavy workloads when combined with SSD or SAS storage. Overall, GigsGigsCloud is best viewed as a regional infrastructure and VPS specialist for Asia and China-focused traffic, rather than as a beginner-friendly shared host.

Note: Most product names at GigsgigsCloud have remained unchanged since November 2018 for Dedicated, Virtual Dedicated, and several VPS plans, with the main additions being new Cloud offerings. This continuity may reflect a very stable business and a product lineup that has proven successful over time.

😠 Poor Service

I would NOT recommend it AT ALL, whether for business or personal use. If you have choices, GO FOR THEM.

The server itself is alright (I wasn't using it for computation-heavy applications anyway) but definitely below what you would expect after experiencing bigger brands such as Amazon, DigitalOcean or Linode.

One of the biggest problems is the lack of automation. If you run out of the pre-allocated bandwidth at the end of the month, and you've **already** paid your bill for the next month, you have a major problem (Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me). Oh, have I mentioned they have the WORST online customer services I ever have seen? Doesn't matter what issue you file, they talk back either redirect you to another department (and open another issue/ticket, yay!) or copy-pasting some template bull**it. You will never have your problems resolved by them unless you talk to them in box cases, JUST LIKE THIS.

So to my disappointment, I'm going to **** their service and find some better hosting service in HK.
