SITE DOSSIER · FRA4

Why Frankfurt?

Frankfurt was our first rack, back in 2023, in the Kleyerstraße campus. It was chosen the way most first datacentre contracts are chosen: by walking the halls, counting the fibre feeds and refusing to be impressed. Eight millimetres from the DE-CIX core, we could announce our own ASN on day one and peer with everyone who mattered before we had sold a single server.

The site has grown to 1.6 Tbit/s of edge capacity on Arelion, Cogent, Lumen and Telia, and it is still the busiest place we run. If your users are spread across Europe and you want one city that is eight milliseconds from London and six from Paris, this is it — 78 ms to New York if your reach is wider.

Questions about Frankfurt

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

This site

Frankfurt or Amsterdam — how do I choose?
Both sit on Europe's densest peering fabric. Frankfurt runs about 1 ms closer to southern and eastern Europe (6 ms to Paris, 11 to Milan), while Amsterdam shaves a millisecond or two toward London, Dublin and the Nordics. When neither geography wins, flip a coin; the price is identical.
Does Germany mean stricter rules for my data?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Servers in Germany fall under German law and the GDPR regardless of where our company is registered, which makes this site the default for people whose contracts or customers demand it. We do not route around the jurisdiction you chose.

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 Germany

Orders from Germany 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.
