More and more Chinese bloggers are seeking for reliable oversea web hosting services nowadays.

I believe Godaddy, Dreamhost, Site5, BlueHost, HostMoster and other well-known providers are very happy these days. the mentioned hosting service providers are well known among chinese bloggers. Some of them even have chinese support team now. How bigger the chinese market is!!!

Why do Chinese bloggers become more and more interested in oversea web hostings? You may google "Internet censorship and regulation in China" to find the answer.

Chinese bloggers prefer the hosting packages with the following specials.
1.Dedicated IP.  If a site shares the hosting server’s IP, it is in a real danger. if the server hosting another site that contains information that violate the Chinese law, the server’s IP may be  blocked by the Chinese Internet censorship system(Well-known as "the Greate Fire Wall"). as a result of the censorship technology, Chinese people will never be able to visit that server directly any more. So, a dedicated IP will keep your site safer.
2.SSH. if the package support SSH, Chinese bloggers may use these hosting account as a secret and safe proxy to visit blocked oversea web sites, like wikipedia, technorati and many other very useful sites.

I’ve been using oversea web hostings for over three years. the first provider I used is Pair.com, which is very stable but with a high fee that I can’t afford. I move my sites to DreamHost after my experience with Pair.com. Now, I’m using Godaddy as my hosting provider. The price of Godaddy is low, and the service is good. You can find many coupon code/promotion code on the Internet. Just google "Godaddy coupon code" to find more.
