Why Cairo
Why host a VPS in Cairo?
Cairo is the main internet hub of Egypt, and Egypt is a landing point for many of the submarine cables that join Africa, Europe and Asia. Hosting in the city keeps traffic for Egyptian users on local networks, which removes the long round trip you pay when you host in Frankfurt or Paris.
A Cairo server also suits applications built for the wider Arab world. Arabic is the shared language of the region, and many platforms place their servers in Egypt, Saudi Arabia or the UAE depending on where most of their users live.
You can also browse all VPS locations or check the prices for every plan before you decide.
Who it reaches
From Cairo you serve Egypt first, from Cairo and Giza to Alexandria and the Nile Delta. Users in Libya, Sudan and the Levant are reachable too, although a Gulf location such as the UAE or Saudi Arabia sits closer to audiences in the Gulf.
Data and privacy
Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020. Egypt regulates personal data under Law No. 151 of 2020. If your users are in Egypt, read the rules on storing and moving their data before you pick a location.

Questions
Egypt VPS FAQ
Is a Cairo VPS better than a European VPS for Egyptian users?
For users in Egypt, a server in Cairo avoids the long route to Europe, so pages and APIs respond faster. If most of your visitors are in Europe or North America, a server in Germany, France or the USA is the better fit.
Can I host an Arabic website on an Egypt VPS?
Yes. A VPS gives you full control of the stack, so you install the web server, database and fonts you need and serve right-to-left Arabic content like any other site.
How much does a VPS in Egypt cost?
A VPS in Egypt 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 Egypt 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 Cairo?
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.
