An incomplete yet useful list of hosts in Vietnam:
If your target audience is located in Vietnam, you may consider a Vietnamese web host.
Make sure to be prepared before signing up with any hosting company:
Test a host's support before joining. It's not unusual for a web host to have incredible response times for their sales department but lousy response times for their support department.
The cheaper the plan and the more space/bandwidth included, the more sites per server the host will have to pack in to make their money back. Also, hosting companies that offer unlimited disk space and data transfer for shared hosting accounts will restrict the amount of memory (RAM) and processor (CPU) you can use. If you can't get a hard number for how much memory or CPU you are entitled to, be prepared for unpleasant surprises.
Check out how legit the web hosting company is by doing a WHOIS on their domain name. Also look for the creation date of the domain name. If the domain name was created less then a year ago, it's more of a risk to join that hosting company.
Look for a host with 99.9% uptime guarantee. No hosting company can guarantee 100% uptime. Beware of anyone who does. Read the terms of the uptime guarantee to find out what types of downtime are not included in the guarantee. Most hosting companies exclude maintenance which makes the 99.9% uptime less meaningful.
Think twice about web hosts forcing you to pay for a year up front. If you have paid yearly and are dissatisfied with their service, you are less likely to swap.
