Why hosting in Amman looks the way it does
OnionVPS's Amman region has operated since 2024 on a 10 Gbit/s uplink, with DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. Geographically, it sits at 31.95, 35.93, with estimated latencies of 43 ms to Frankfurt and 131 ms to Ashburn. The editorial note mentions 'Levantine edge with routes via Aqaba and Cyprus,' highlighting its role in regional connectivity.
Customers run latency-sensitive workloads for the Middle East, such as ad exchanges, financial trading apps, and multiplayer game servers. The low RTTs to Tel Aviv (3 ms), Nicosia (8 ms), Cairo (9 ms), and Yerevan (18 ms) make it ideal for serving users across the eastern Mediterranean without traversing Western data hubs.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jordan a good place to host a server?
Levantine edge with routes via Aqaba and Cyprus.
Is Jordan in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Jordan is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our edge tier.
Does the DMCA apply to a server in Jordan?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Jordan is governed by Jordan copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Amman from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 43 ms to Frankfurt and 131 ms to Ashburn. These are computed from great-circle distance rather than measured, so treat them as a floor.
Do I need to identify myself to order in Amman?
No. Every OnionVPS location has the same signup: an email address you control and a cryptocurrency payment. No name, no address, no document, no card.
What are the legal requirements for hosting in Jordan?
There are no identity verification requirements for signing up. An email address you control is the only identifier. As Jordan is not in an intelligence-sharing alliance, and the DMCA does not apply, your content is subject to local copyright law, which generally requires a court order for takedowns.
How is the connectivity for users in the Levant?
Latency to nearby regions is excellent, with estimates of 3 ms to Tel Aviv, 8 ms to Nicosia, and 9 ms to Cairo. The facility is on a 10 Gbit/s uplink with DDoS protection, so you can expect consistent performance for Middle Eastern traffic.
