A basic XEN VPS can cost as little as $20/month including a dedicated IP, and be much better technically as I'm sure you know than shared hosting. I use Rimuhosting myself.

Having one in China is a big pain as your site will likely only be fast in China, not outside. Also Chinese (and European) providers tend to charge obnoxious fees for services that are standard included with most US based hosts. GoDaddy is known to cause a lot of problems for/to people and I think it is a very wise decision to leave them! I agree that it is preferable to have your hosting provider outside of China.

That solves all your problems. I've been using Sino Hosting for over a year now, they respond fast and solve problems quite quick.
