Choose the country
- 1.Go to the Linux VPS page.
- 2.Scroll down to the Pricing section. The countries are grouped by continent: click the one you want.
- 3.Click Order under the plan you picked. The country is already set for your order.
If a country shows Unavailable, it is out of stock and you cannot order there for now. We announce restocks on Telegram.
Which country should you pick?
The simplest rule: pick the country closest to your visitors. The closer they are to the server, the faster your site or app responds.
Your visitors are in France, or your data has to stay in France (GDPR): take a Linux VPS in Paris.
You are targeting Germany, Austria, German-speaking Switzerland, the Benelux or Eastern Europe: the Linux VPS in Frankfurt sits right in the middle.
You have a .co.uk site or British customers: the Linux VPS in London.
Your customers are American, or your project spans Europe and America: the Linux VPS in the USA.
Your audience is in Turkey or the surrounding region: the Linux VPS in Istanbul.
Your audience is in Asia: the Linux VPS in Hong Kong.

Test latency before you order
Not sure? Measure it. Our looking glass runs a ping, a traceroute or an MTR from our datacenters to your connection, or to any address.
- 1.Open the looking glass.
- 2.Under Location, click a city.
- 3.Choose Ping, Traceroute or MTR, then IPv4 or IPv6.
- 4.Leave My IP address in Target, then click Run the test.
- 5.Repeat with the other cities and keep the one that responds fastest: the lower the latency, the better.
The looking glass allows 8 tests per minute. A traceroute to a slow server can take up to two minutes, so be patient.
For a quick look, the Latency from your location line at the top of the Linux VPS page already gives you an idea for each city.
