SITE DOSSIER · AMS1

Why Amsterdam?

Amsterdam was site number two, live since 2023 in Science Park, a building chosen partly because the university next door means the power grid treats it as critical infrastructure. We are on AMS-IX, the largest internet exchange on earth by connected traffic, with a port we lit before the first customer arrived.

The numbers hold up: 1.28 Tbit/s of edge capacity, 2 ms local median RTT, 6 ms to London and Paris, 72 ms to New York. The facility runs Tier IV with Arelion, Cogent, NTT and Lumen on the wall. Amsterdam is where European packets go to meet each other, and your server can stand at that crossroads for €1.90 a month.

Questions about Amsterdam

The two answers people actually ask about this site, then the five we give everywhere.

This site

Amsterdam or Frankfurt for a pan-European service?
Either works; the difference is single-digit milliseconds at the edges of Europe. Amsterdam reaches London, Dublin and Stockholm a little faster (9 ms to Dublin, 12 to Stockholm); Frankfurt wins toward the south and east. Both are on the top-tier exchange fabric, so peering quality will not be the tiebreaker.
Is the Netherlands a safe jurisdiction for a VPN exit?
The Netherlands has no data-retention law forcing ISPs to log traffic, which is why Amsterdam is our most-chosen site for WireGuard exits. Ordinary law still applies: what you do from the server is your responsibility, and the acceptable use policy is the same here as everywhere else.

Everywhere

Which region should I pick?
Measure, then read. Median RTT decides most cases: pick the site closest to the users you already have, then check the local law if that matters to your data. We do not charge a regional premium, so the decision is never financial.
Is the price the same in every location?
Yes. A Nano costs €1.90 per month in Frankfurt and in São Paulo. There is no regional pricing tier, no 'emerging market' discount and no 'premium location' markup to optimise around.
Can I move a server to another site later?
Take a snapshot, deploy the same image at the destination, restore, update the DNS. The console does not yet automate the migration end-to-end, but nothing about the price changes if you redeploy somewhere else.
Is DDoS protection included?
Standard volumetric filtering is always on and always free at every site. If you need application-layer scrubbing with custom rules, the Advanced tier costs €3.90 per month per server.
What IP addresses do I get?
Every server ships with one dedicated IPv4 and a routed /64 of IPv6, both announced from the site you chose. Additional IPv4s are €1.20 per month each, up to eight per server.

Payments from Netherlands

Orders from Netherlands are handled exactly like every other order: checkout in euros, payment in Bitcoin, Monero or any of twenty-four assets, and the server provisions on the first network confirmation. No card, no bank, no name that has to match one.

Two decisions, then a network

Pick a size, pick a site, pay in crypto. Moving later is one snapshot and a redeploy away.
