Why hosting in Falkenstein looks the way it does
OnionVPS opened this region in 2021 with a 40 Gbit/s uplink, and the proximity to Frankfurt keeps estimated round-trip times around 6 ms. The site offers DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, NVMe storage, and Custom ISO upload. It is marketed as low-cost German capacity with excellent price per core—a value tier for European compute. Your data is subject to GDPR.
Clients deploy compute-hungry workloads like render farms and CI runners here, drawn by the low price per core and German infrastructure. The low latency to Prague and Vienna suits distributed database clusters and gaming services. The no-DMCA position makes it plausible for archiving or hosting content that US-hosted providers are quick to take down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Germany a good place to host a server?
Low-cost German capacity with excellent price per core — our value tier for European compute.
Is Germany in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
Yes — Germany is a Fourteen Eyes member. That is a legitimate consideration if state surveillance is in your threat model; it says nothing about the quality of the connectivity, which is why we operate here.
Does the DMCA apply to a server in Germany?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Germany is governed by Germany copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Falkenstein from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 6 ms to Frankfurt and 93 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 Falkenstein?
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.
Does Havano have servers in Falkenstein?
Yes. OnionVPS has operated a region in Falkenstein since 2021. The facility provides KVM virtualisation with full root access, and the standard platform includes three free snapshots and always-on DDoS mitigation. Uplink is 40 Gbit/s, and the $4 entry price covers a whole /64 IPv6 subnet.
What is the legal process for copyright complaints?
DMCA notices are not applicable because the DMCA is US law. Local German copyright law governs, and a takedown generally requires a court order. If you receive a complaint, treat it as legal correspondence. OnionVPS retains connection logs for zero days, but keep your own records.
