Short answer

Why hosting in Hong Kong looks the way it does
OnionVPS has operated this region since 2020, connected at 100 Gbit/s to the densest peering point in Asia. HKIX gives sub-40 ms reach to Taipei, Hanoi, Manila, and Ho Chi Minh City. Full root access, true KVM virtualisation, a routed IPv6 /64, and always-on DDoS mitigation are included. No identity verification is ever required; only an email address.
Trading bots, exchange arbitrage, and low-latency proxies. Independent news sites and forums that do not want US jurisdiction. Any workload needing a neutral ground between East and West, where the network is excellent and the host will not be pressured into takedowns without a court order.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hong Kong SAR a good place to host a server?
The densest peering point in Asia. HKIX gives sub-40 ms reach to most of East and Southeast Asia.
Is Hong Kong SAR in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Hong Kong SAR is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our core tier.
Does the DMCA apply to a server in Hong Kong SAR?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Hong Kong SAR is governed by Hong Kong SAR copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Hong Kong from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 126 ms to Frankfurt and 179 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 Hong Kong?
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.
Is my data subject to GDPR if I host in Hong Kong?
No. GDPR applies only to personal data processed in the European Economic Area or by EU/EEA-established controllers/processors. Hosting in Hong Kong, where GDPR is not local law, places your data outside that framework. Your obligations depend on your own jurisdiction and customer base.
Can I get IPv4 addresses without showing ID?
Yes. You can order an additional IPv4 address for $3/month per instance, with no justification form or identity check. It is routed to your instance automatically from the panel. You sign up with only an email address and pay in cryptocurrency via OxaPay.
