Why Frankfurt
Why host a VPS in Frankfurt?
Frankfurt is where a large share of European network traffic meets. DE-CIX, the exchange based in the city, connects hundreds of carriers and content networks, so a server here reaches most of Europe over short, well-peered routes.
Germany is also a safe default for European customer data. A VPS in Frankfurt keeps personal data inside the EU, under GDPR, which is often the first question in a European procurement checklist.
You can also browse all VPS locations or check the prices for every plan before you decide.
Who it reaches
From Frankfurt you serve Germany, Austria and Switzerland directly, and reach France, the Benelux countries, Poland, Czechia and Italy over short links. Users in the UK and Scandinavia are close as well, and Southern Europe is a few extra hops away.
Data and privacy
GDPR and the German BDSG. A server in Germany stores data inside the EU, where GDPR applies together with Germany's Federal Data Protection Act. You still need your own lawful basis and privacy notices.
Who it is for
Who a Germany VPS is for.
- A

- B
Businesses that need EU data residency
Keep customer records inside the EU and answer data-location questions from clients and auditors with one line.
- C
Agencies, developers and game servers
Use Frankfurt as a general-purpose European base for client sites, build servers and multiplayer game hosts.

Questions
Germany VPS FAQ
Why is Frankfurt a popular VPS location?
Frankfurt hosts DE-CIX, one of the largest internet exchanges by traffic, so many networks connect there directly. That gives servers in the city short routes to most of Europe.
Is a Germany VPS GDPR compliant?
The server sits inside the EU, which helps with data location. GDPR compliance also depends on how you collect, process and protect the data, so you still need your own policies.
Is Germany or the Netherlands better for a European VPS?
Both have excellent connectivity. Germany is more central and suits Central Europe, while Amsterdam is stronger for Western and Northern Europe. Test from your users if you can.
How much does a VPS in Germany cost?
A VPS in Germany 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 Germany 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 Frankfurt?
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.
