Why Seoul
Why host a VPS in Seoul?
Seoul is South Korea's capital and one of the most connected cities on earth, with very high broadband speeds and a heavy culture of online gaming, streaming and shopping. A local server gives Korean users a short route.
Korean e-commerce, gaming and SaaS products compete on speed. Hosting inside the country is the most direct way to deliver the fast responses Korean users expect.
See how this fits with the rest of our VPS hosting, and compare the other locations we run.
Who it reaches
From Seoul you serve South Korea, including Busan and Incheon, and reach Japan, China and Taiwan on short regional routes. Southeast Asia is reachable, and Singapore is closer for audiences there.
