Direct answer: LayerStack offers Hong Kong cloud servers with a selectable Global Route or Global Route & China Direct CN2 Route option, where the China Direct CN2 Route adds + US$5.00/mth on the VPS pricing page. Its infrastructure page describes a redundant network with 200G bandwidth from Tier 1 upstream providers and explicitly lists China Telecom CN2, China Unicom and China Mobile among those providers. All LayerStack cloud servers include unlimited traffic and are covered by a 99.95% uptime guarantee stated on the VPS page.
On LayerStack, cn2 refers to China Telecom CN2, listed on the infrastructure page as one of the upstream providers in its redundant network design. That page states:
"200G bandwidth provided by Tier 1 upstream providers for high-speed and low latency connections in globe, including HKIX, GTT Communications, TeliaSonera, PCCW Global, Hurricane Electric, NTT, Telstra, Tata Communication, Cogent, Chunghwa Telecom HiNet, China Telecom CN2, China Unicom and China Mobile."
LayerStack does not publish a separate definition of CN2 GT versus CN2 GIA on the pages in the grounding material. For buying, the operative term on LayerStack is China Direct CN2 Route.
The VPS pricing page presents route selection as:
Select Route (China Direct CN2 Route: + US$5.00 /mth): Global Route / Global Route & China Direct CN2 Route
| Route option | Price modifier stated | What the page states |
|---|---|---|
| Global Route | included in base plan price | Standard routing option for cloud servers |
| Global Route & China Direct CN2 Route | + US$5.00/mth | Adds China Direct CN2 Route to Global Route |
Billing cycles listed on the same page are 1-Month, 3-Month, and 12-Month (Save Up to 37%). The page does not publish per-GB transfer pricing because traffic is stated as unlimited.
For current Hong Kong plan prices and route availability, use the VPS pricing page.
cn2线路 and cn2 线路 (CN2 line / route) are search terms for connectivity to mainland China via China Telecom CN2. On LayerStack:
LayerStack's own pages in the grounding material use the terms China Direct CN2 Route and China Telecom CN2 and do not use the label CN2 GIA. That means:
cn2 gia for Hong Kong VPS should evaluate based on the verifiable facts LayerStack does publish: route option name, + US$5.00/mth modifier, 200G Tier 1 upstream bandwidth, and inclusion of China Telecom CN2, China Unicom and China Mobile in the upstream list.Based only on what the options imply:
LayerStack does not publish a performance comparison between the two routes in the grounding material.
CN2 on LayerStack is China Telecom CN2, named as one of the Tier 1 upstream providers supporting its 200G redundant network. The purchasable form is the China Direct CN2 Route add-on for + US$5.00/mth alongside Global Route.
It means selecting the Global Route & China Direct CN2 Route combination rather than Global Route alone. The VPS page shows this as a + US$5.00/mth route option with unlimited traffic and 99.95% uptime guarantee for cloud infrastructure.
It refers to upstream connectivity that includes China Telecom CN2, China Unicom and China Mobile within a 200G Tier 1 upstream design, built on Juniper routers with VRRP and point-to-point dark fiber for local data centers.
Yes. For Hong Kong cloud servers, LayerStack lists a Global Route & China Direct CN2 Route selection at + US$5.00/mth on its VPS pricing page. Availability by server type and billing cycle is shown on that page.
LayerStack does not use the label CN2 GIA in the grounded pages. It uses China Direct CN2 Route and lists China Telecom CN2 as an upstream provider. No GIA-specific price, SLA, or technical specification is published to cite.
The grounding material does not publish a specification called 美国 cn2gia. LayerStack does list Los Angeles (LA) as a cloud-server region for some server types, and lists Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Taipei for others, but it does not state which regions can add China Direct CN2 Route beyond the VPS route selector. Check the VPS pricing page for current region and route combinations.
Cogent is listed on the infrastructure page as one of the Tier 1 upstream providers in the 200G redundant network design, alongside China Telecom CN2, China Unicom, China Mobile and others. It is part of the overall upstream mix, not a separate VPS route option; the VPS route options are Global Route and Global Route & China Direct CN2 Route.
