Why hosting in Phoenix looks the way it does
Phoenix offers low seismic risk and cheap capacity, a common disaster-recovery pair for Los Angeles, which is just 10 ms away. The facility provides 40 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, NVMe storage, and custom ISO upload. Being outside GDPR's scope simplifies data handling. With Dallas at 21 ms and Seattle at 26 ms, it serves western North America efficiently.
Users deploy disaster-recovery replicas and latency-sensitive services for the US West Coast. The proximity to Los Angeles (10 ms) suits caching nodes and game servers. NVMe storage handles database workloads. The US legal framework and DMCA compliance attract general-purpose hosting for content that must respect takedown requests.

Frequently asked questions
Is United States a good place to host a server?
Low seismic risk and cheap capacity — a common disaster-recovery pair for Los Angeles.
Is United States in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
Yes — United States 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 United States?
Yes. This is a United States location, so the DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure applies in full and we operate a standard process for it.
How fast is Phoenix from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 124 ms to Frankfurt and 44 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 Phoenix?
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 Phoenix a safe location for my data?
Phoenix has low seismic risk, reducing earthquake-related downtime. OnionVPS operates the region since 2023, with always-on DDoS mitigation and three free snapshots. The facility offers 40 Gbit/s uplink and NVMe storage. As a United States location, data is subject to local laws, including DMCA takedowns and Five Eyes intelligence access.
How is latency to Los Angeles from Phoenix?
Estimated round-trip time is 10 ms, based on a great-circle estimate. This makes Phoenix ideal for workloads that must respond quickly to users in the LA area. Network paths and real-world latency may vary, but this is a strong baseline for planning service architecture.
