Why hosting in Perth looks the way it does
Perth is the shortest Australian hop to Singapore, offering a distinct latency advantage for Asia-Pacific traffic. The facility features a 10 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, Native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. Situated in an Edge jurisdiction, it prioritises latency coverage. GDPR does not apply to personal data processed here, and connection logs are retained for 0 days.
Typical deployments include low-latency game servers, cryptocurrency nodes, and privacy-focused applications. The proximity to Singapore (55 ms RTT) makes it ideal for services targeting Southeast Asian users. Its edge location suits content delivery and real-time applications requiring reduced round-trip times compared to eastern Australia.

Frequently asked questions
Is Australia a good place to host a server?
Western Australia, the shortest Australian hop to Singapore.
Is Australia in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
Yes — Australia is a Five 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 Australia?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Australia is governed by Australia copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Perth from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 189 ms to Frankfurt and 253 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 Perth?
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 risks of hosting in Australia?
Australia is a Five Eyes member, meaning intelligence-sharing with the US and other allies. While the DMCA does not apply, local copyright law requires a court order for takedowns. OnionVPS does not log connections, and your identity is limited to an email address.
How fast is Perth for Australian users?
Perth offers low latency to Singapore (55 ms), Jakarta (43 ms), and Sydney (46 ms). It's the shortest hop to Southeast Asia, making it ideal for regional applications. East Coast US and Europe are further, at roughly 253 ms and 189 ms respectively.
