Following repeated requests for this service, we have now launched our FTP hosting service for the Chinese market. Packages are available from 10GB to 1TB storage space, and clients can choose to have the service activated on a Shanghai, Hong Kong or US server.

The service starts from RMB1,000/year only. There is no ICP required for this service even for clients with the server in China, so this will be useful to businesses looking to provide a download link, storage space, or a file sharing space for their clients, users or staff in mainland China.

For more details, please visit our new China FTP Hosting page.

Located in Luohu district, just 5mn from Dongmen commercial area and 20mn from the Hong Kong border checkpoint, the new office will help provide a better service to our company’s customers in Shenzhen and Guangdong province, but also serve in expanding our client base locally.

As far as SinoHosting is concerned, the new office will assist at the beginning with billing issues only. Sales and technical support inquiries must still be addressed to our Shanghai office or submitted through our support ticket system. We plan to add technical staff to the office in a near future.

We are pleased to announce that we have upgraded our billing system
to the latest version available from the developper (WHMCS). From now
on, new orders and renewals will be available in USD (previously the
Chinese Yuan or RMB was the only currency available).

As a result, invoices settlement, order payments or account
funding/credit can be done automatically through our billing system
with Paypal without the need of a manual conversion as previously
required.

Some minor tweaks are still being done on the billing system,
including the integration with our main site design, however all
functions are already fully avalable.

Due to a decision by our registrar, we are temporarily suspending dot cn domain name registration. This is a consequence of the tougher restrictions and registration process that were enabled by the CNNIC last month. We hope that restrictions will be somewhat relaxed after the Chinese New Year holiday or later in the year. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
