Why hosting in Madrid looks the way it does

Madrid is our Core region on major exchanges, with a 40 Gbit/s uplink and low latency to Latin America—a key cable landing point. The facility includes DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6, NVMe storage, and custom ISO uploads. Operated since 2021, it balances European data protection with relaxed copyright enforcement, appealing to privacy-focused users.

Customers run low-latency proxies, mail relays, and data-scraping bots targeting Spanish-language content. The region suits serving Latin American audiences from Europe, cutting 115 ms RTT to São Paulo. Developers test GDPR-compliant apps with root access and nested virtualisation, avoiding KYC friction.

Frequently asked questions

Is Spain a good place to host a server?

The Iberian gateway and the landing point for most Latin America cables — our best European hop to Brazil and Argentina.

Is Spain in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

Yes — Spain 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 Spain?

No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Spain is governed by Spain copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.

How fast is Madrid from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 22 ms to Frankfurt and 85 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 Madrid?

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 data protected under GDPR in Madrid?

Yes, GDPR applies to personal data processed in Spain. Your instance data is protected, but this also imposes compliance duties on you as a data controller. OnionVPS provides tools like snapshots and encryption, but GDPR compliance is your responsibility.

Can I get a Madrid IP for geo-blocked content?

Yes, Madrid IPv4 addresses are routed to your instance. This is useful for accessing Spanish platforms like bank websites or streaming services that geo-restrict. The $3/month extra IP option gives you flexibility, though latency to Spain is naturally lower from within Europe.
