Free tier	NVMe - X at USD 5.00/month: 1 CPU core, 2048 MB RAM, 30 GB NVMe, 2000 GB/month bandwidth, 100 Mbps, IPv4 plus IPv6. The plan table publishes 16 locations: London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Moscow, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney, Taiwan, Tokyo, Seoul, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Ashburn, Sao Paulo. The next step up, NVMe - 1, is USD 10.00 with 1 core, 4096 MB and 60 GB at 250 Mbps. unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; none

Egress	bandwidth is stated per plan and per location: 2000 GB a month on the X plan in most locations, 100 GB on the Taiwan row as listed by the tracker; no overage price was published on the page read free_allowance: 2000 GB/month on the X plan; 100 GB/month on Taiwan per the tracker

Limits	volume-quota 2000 GB a month on the X plan at 100 Mbps. The allowance is per location and not uniform: the tracker's Taiwan row for the same X plan states 100 GB/month, twenty times smaller, so a Taiwan box would exhaust its allowance in about three days of continuous 100 Mbps traffic by arithmetic. source 2000 GB a month on the X plan at 100 Mbps.

Composes with	USD 5.00 for 2 GB and 30 GB of NVMe in Tokyo, Seoul or Singapore is the cheapest APAC capacity and the only one with a 2 GB entry plan. The 100 Mbps port and the 2 TB cap make it a crawler worker rather than a serving host, and it is best option for a source that only answers from an Asian IP.
Reliability	the vendor advertises DDoS protection and a 30-day money-back guarantee on the homepage; no uptime SLA figure was read, and no incident was observed
Notes	Not in dossier/compute or docs/ (searched both trees for photonvps, no hit). The plan table is driven by a location selector and lists three network values per row (100, '100 Mbps', '10 Gbps'), so which figure applies to which location is not resolvable from the extracted table; the 100 Mbps reading is the one in the Network column. Los Angeles orders are redirected to the parent, Psychz Networks. would-settle: the port speed and allowance per location, and whether the X plan really is 30 GB of NVMe in Moscow where the selector says SSD.
