One point needs clarification: the $35/year lightweight cloud plan with 1 core, 1GB RAM, and 200M bandwidth in Japan mentioned in previous reviews is currently sold out on the official website. However, Jtti's lightweight cloud product line is still available. Below is a list of available lightweight cloud server configurations and prices compiled from the official website and 2026 promotional activities:
Lightweight Cloud Server (200M optimized line dedicated bandwidth)
| Node | Configuration | System Disk | Monthly Traffic | Price |
| Japan | 1 core 1GB | 50GB SSD | 1000GB | $35.00/year (Sold Out) |
| Hong Kong | 1 core 1GB | 50GB SSD | 800GB | $10.39/month |
| Hong Kong | 2 cores 4GB | 50GB SSD | 1600GB | $30.22/month |
| Hong Kong | 4 cores 8GB | 50GB SSD | 1600GB | $43.29/month |
| Japan | 4 cores 8GB | 50GB SSD | 1600GB | $42.51/month |
Hong Kong Light Cloud also offers a 1-core 1GB configuration with 800GB monthly traffic for $10.39 per month, or $42.07 for six months. A 2-core 4GB configuration with 200M dedicated bandwidth and 1600GB monthly traffic is available for $119.65 per year (with lifetime recurring discounts).
Unlimited Traffic Cloud Servers (CN2/Optimized Lines)
| Node | Configuration | Bandwidth/Line | Six-Month Payment Price |
| Japan | 2-core 2GB | 5M Optimized | $28 |
| Hong Kong | 4-core 4GB | 5M CN2 | $68 |
| USA | 8-core 16GB | 10M CN2 | $156 |
Note: All the above packages support "lifetime recurring discounts"—the initial purchase price remains the same as the renewal price; there is no "low price in the first year, double price in the second year" scheme.
If the $35 package is unavailable, what alternatives are available?
Alternative Option 1: Japan 2-Core 2GB Optimized Cloud Server ($28/6 Months)
Jtti recently launched a new special offer for its Japan data center: 2 cores, 2GB RAM, 5Mbps dedicated bandwidth, unlimited traffic, all for only $28 for six months, with lifetime recurring discounts. While it's 5Mbps bandwidth instead of 200Mbps, the advantage lies in unlimited traffic and the same renewal price, making it suitable for personal blogs, corporate websites, and small applications. The Tokyo data center features optimized connections to China across all three major networks, with stable ping times around 50ms for coastal areas.
Alternative Option 2: Hong Kong 2-Core 4GB Lightweight Cloud ($119.65/6 Months)
If your budget is slightly higher, a Hong Kong 2-core 4GB/200Mbps bandwidth/1600GB monthly traffic plan costs $84.60 per year. This offers double the configuration, more traffic, and lower latency for accessing mainland China via the Hong Kong CN2 line.
Alternative Option 3: US 1-Core 1GB Unlimited Traffic CN2 ($46.78/Year)
If your budget is extremely limited and latency is not a major concern, the US CN2 1-core 1GB/5Mbps bandwidth/unlimited traffic plan at only $46.78 per year is the most affordable entry-level option in the entire product line.
The $35/year Japan 200Mbps Light Cloud was indeed a legendary machine, and its sell-out status was expected. However, Jtti's product line continues to be updated—the $28/6-month Japan 2-core 2GB unlimited traffic plan, the $119.65/6-month Hong Kong 2-core 4GB high-bandwidth plan, and the $46.78/year US CN2 unlimited traffic plan are all worth considering as alternatives.
After all, the value of a server lies not in being the "cheapest," but in its long-term stability, cost-effectiveness, and maintenance. And the "lifetime recurring discount" remains Jtti's core competitive advantage.
