Pick a region:
Houston or Singapore.
Grab the globe to spin it. Live regions glow.
Same plans and the same price in both. One account, one wallet, one bill. Pick the region closest to the people who will use the server.
Houston
Our US region, and one of the two we open with. Every server there boots with root and a public IPv4, at the same price as Singapore.
Explore HoustonSingapore
Our APAC region, and the other of the two we open with. Every server there boots with root and a public IPv4, at the same price as Houston.
Explore SingaporeFrankfurt
Planned, for customers who need their data inside the EU. No date yet.
Los Angeles
Planned for the US west coast. We'll put a date here once we have one.
Tokyo
Planned for Japan and the wider Pacific rim.
Mumbai
Planned for India and South Asia. Nothing to announce yet.
The regions
Two of them. Both run the same platform and the same images, and an Ember, Flare or Blaze costs $5, $10 or $20 a month whichever one you pick.

| Singapore — SG, APAC | 1.35°N · 103.82°E | Live | Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney, Jakarta |
Latency follows distance
Distance decides. A packet from your user to your server takes a physical path across the internet, and nothing we do at our end makes that path shorter, which is why the region you pick matters more than any setting you will ever change in the dashboard.
We publish no latency figures, because we haven't measured yours. Your route, your ISP and your users' location set it. Boot a server in the region nearest your users and measure it from where they sit.
A region is only a location
It's where your server sits. The product is the same either way: a KVM virtual machine that boots its own kernel, with root and a public IPv4.
Questions about regions
Which region should I pick?
The one closest to the people who will use the server. Serving the Americas, pick Houston. Serving India or East Asia, pick Singapore. If your users are split, run one in each: the price is the same and both come off the same wallet.
Where does my data live?
In the region you picked. A server's disk, its snapshots and its backups stay there for as long as the server exists.
Can I move a server between regions?
Not in place. Snapshot the server, then launch that image in the other region. It's the same platform on both ends, so the image boots the same way.
Does a server in either region bill while it's stopped?
Yes. A stopped server still holds its vCPU, memory and disk, so it bills at the same rate until you destroy it. Destroying it stops billing that hour. The same goes for block storage and reserved IPs: they bill while they exist, even detached, and a snapshot you keep past the free three bills $1/mo.
