Why Sydney
Why host a VPS in Sydney?
Sydney is Australia's largest internet hub and sits near the submarine cables that connect the country to Asia and North America. A local server keeps traffic for Australian users on domestic networks.
Distance is the main reason to host here. Australia is far from every other major hosting market, so a server in Europe or the USA adds a long round trip that no code change can remove.
Not sure this is the right country? Compare every VPS server location, or read the VPS hosting overview first.
Who it reaches
From Sydney you serve Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, and reach New Zealand on short routes. For audiences in Southeast Asia, the Singapore location is nearer.
Data and privacy
Privacy Act 1988. Organisations covered by Australia's Privacy Act 1988 must follow the Australian Privacy Principles when they send personal information overseas. Hosting in Australia keeps that data in the country.
Who it is for
Who a Australia VPS is for.
- A

- B
Agencies with Australian clients
Host client sites, staging copies and tools in the same country as the client, with a root login for every project.
- C
Businesses with local data duties
Keep customer records in Australia when your contracts or your own policy call for local data residency.

Questions
Australia VPS FAQ
Why host a VPS in Australia instead of Singapore?
Singapore works for audiences across Southeast Asia, but a Sydney server is closer to Australian users and keeps their data in the country. Pick the location that matches where most visitors live.
Does an Australia VPS also cover New Zealand?
Yes, for most New Zealand traffic. Routes between the two countries are short, so one Sydney server serves both markets well.
How much does a VPS in Australia cost?
A VPS in Australia starts at $14.99 per month for 1 core and 2 GB of RAM and goes up to $319.99 per month for 16 cores and 64 GB. Every location uses the same plans and prices, and the price stays the same on renewal.
Which operating systems can I use on the Australia VPS?
Linux (Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux) and Windows Server. Pick one when you order, and reinstall a different one later from the control panel.
Are backups included with a VPS in Sydney?
No. Snapshots and backups are not included, so copy important data off the server on a schedule and test a restore. You have full root or administrator access to set up the tool you prefer.
