SITE DOSSIER · MAD1

Why Madrid?

Madrid, live since 2025, sits in MAD1 in Alcobendas, a Tier III+ building on the city's business ring road where the ESpanix fabric runs. It was our first Iberian port, and the first week of test traffic made the sales case for us: Lisbon answered at 5 ms, and São Paulo — the other end of the peninsula's cable habit — came back at 101 ms.

The site carries 0.32 Tbit/s of edge capacity on Arelion, Cogent and Lumen at a 3 ms local median, with 14 ms to Frankfurt and 78 to New York. Madrid is the answer for Spanish users who had been quietly renting in France or Germany because nobody offered them a local rack; the flat price means they were never saving anything by the detour.

Questions about Madrid

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

This site

Madrid or Lisbon for Iberia?
Five milliseconds apart, so decide by jurisdiction, not by the map. Madrid is the larger site — 0.32 Tbit/s on ESpanix against Lisbon's 0.22 on GIGAPIX — and it is where Spanish users and Spanish law point. Lisbon earns its rack on the Atlantic side: 87 ms to Miami, and 100 ms to São Paulo against Madrid's 101.
Does Madrid help with Latin American traffic?
For Spanish-speaking Latin America, yes — Madrid is the European end of the peninsula's transatlantic routes, and the region's numbers run through it: 78 ms to New York and 101 ms to São Paulo. If your users are actually in Brazil, the honest answer is our São Paulo site; 101 ms is a detour, not a home.

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 Spain

Orders from Spain 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.
