SITE DOSSIER · PAR1

Why Paris?

Paris opened in 2024 in a La Défense tower that has the useful property of being a datacentre disguised as an office building. We put a France-IX port in on day one and spent the first month explaining to French customers that the servers are not actually in Frankfurt — a conversation that still happens weekly.

With 0.72 Tbit/s of edge capacity, 3 ms local RTT and 5 ms to London, Paris is the correct answer for a surprisingly large slice of western Europe. If your customers are French, your contract says French law, or your users sit between London and Madrid, this is the site that makes the map honest.

Q&A · VER. 4.2

Questions about Paris

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

This site

Paris is 6 ms from Frankfurt — why not just use Frankfurt?
Because the law follows the disk, not the hop. If your data needs to live in France — for a French client, a French regulator, or simply because your users are French and you want the shortest path to them — 6 ms of cross-border RTT is a small price for not having to explain why your 'French' service is hosted in Germany.
How does France treat VPN and anonymity services?
Hosting a VPN is legal in France, and we do not block the common uses covered by the acceptable use policy. What France does have is a strict notice-and-takedown culture for copyright, so run a mail server or a media service here only if you are comfortable answering abuse mail in French.

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 France

Orders from France 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.
