Questions about London
The two answers people actually ask about this site, then the five we give everywhere.
This site
I am in London — why does a UK server matter?
Jurisdiction and round trip. A server in Frankfurt costs the same and is 8 ms away, but a UK-hosted service keeps your data under UK law and avoids the Channel hop for latency-sensitive work. For trading terminals, 2 ms in London beats 8 ms abroad on every single packet.
Which site is best for trading and forex workloads?
For European-facing brokers, London is the usual answer: the lowest median RTT to the UK, 5 ms to Paris and a strong path to New York at 66 ms. Pair it with the low-latency plan and a Windows image with the broker's bridge, and the whole round trip is shorter than the timeout on your platform's heartbeat.
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 United Kingdom
Orders from United Kingdom 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.
