SITE DOSSIER · ICN1

Why Seoul?

Seoul, live since 2024, is in the Gasan Digital Complex, a district that is to Korean hosting what Frankfurt's exchange is to European peering. We joined KINX — Korea's neutral exchange, which also happens to be our carrier of record — and discovered that renting space in a building full of other hosting companies has a pleasant side effect: nobody has to explain to the neighbours what a server rack is.

The site runs 0.44 Tbit/s of edge capacity and sits in a country whose home connections are the fastest on earth, which raises the bar: a Korean user notices a 13 ms hop to Tokyo the way a European notices an 8 ms hop to London. Ninety milliseconds to Sydney and 148 to Frankfurt complete the picture — Seoul is where the Pacific rim's packets actually meet.

Questions about Seoul

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

This site

Which site should Korean users actually connect to?
Seoul, unless your users are in Japan — and even then it is close: 13 ms to Tokyo and 13 ms to Osaka from here. Korean gamers and streamers run on some of the lowest-latency home networks in the world, so a server in another country is usually measurable in their ping and felt in their patience.
Do I need a Korean company or ID to rent a server here?
No. This is the no-KYC part of the pitch applied to Korea specifically: an email address and a crypto payment are the entire requirement, in Seoul as everywhere else. Korean data-protection law applies to what you host and whom you serve, not to who rents the rack.

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 South Korea

Orders from South Korea 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.
