Reason 1 — Anyone who runs a business in China and also owns a website might frequently find his website is blocked and unblocked within China but no way to find out why. In these cases, most likely you are banned by GFW(Great Firewall of China, a firewall to filter sensitive information from overseas). An ISP host might hundreds of websites on one server, if one of the sites contains “sensitive” content, the IP will be banned, and your site may not be accessed in China. That is bad for a business running in China. If you are not going to setup your own server and want to make sure your site won’t be affected by GFW, you’d better host your site in China.

Have to say “hosting in china is much more expensive than that is in us”. I just built a small website for a shenzhen company ( job hunter — willcan executive search ) last month. After job done, they asked me to move their website and email box to a new server.
I recommended EBLhost to them as I want to host their site on a cpanel host ( easy for me to maintain and backup ) . When I show eblhost ’s quote to them, they were suprised by the price
“Gee, so cheap!” me panic … They told me they host their site with http://www.net.cn/ the top one hosting and domain provider in china with a space 300M, ¥1150/year(plus mailbox). My god, a space with limited managed service can be sold in $150/year. But eblhost ’s standard package ( 1G space ) with cpanel licence only $40/year.
