Short answer

Singapore is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes intelligence alliances, so hosting there avoids the surveillance obligations of those agreements. The DMCA, a US statute, does not apply to a host in Singapore; local copyright law generally requires a court order for takedowns. OnionVPS offers VPS hosting in Singapore without KYC, from $4 per month.

Why hosting in Singapore looks the way it does

OnionVPS has operated this region since 2020, with a 100 Gbit/s uplink on a site at 1.35, 103.82. More than 15 submarine cables land in Singapore, giving predictable latency to India, Australia and Japan alike. DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64 and custom ISO upload are standard. Estimated round trips: Frankfurt 140 ms, Ashburn 212 ms, São Paulo 218 ms. The nearest OnionVPS regions are Kuala Lumpur at 6 ms, Jakarta at 14 ms, Ho Chi Minh City at 17 ms, and Phnom Penh at 17 ms.

People deploy game servers and trading infrastructure that need low latency to Southeast Asia and Japan. Media proxies and VPN exit nodes for regional traffic thrive here, as do Anycast endpoints for DNS or content delivery. The jurisdiction's neutrality suits archiving and personal data not subject to GDPR.

Frequently asked questions

Is Singapore a good place to host a server?

The Southeast Asian hub: 15+ submarine cables land here, giving predictable latency to India, Australia and Japan alike.

Is Singapore in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

No. Singapore 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 Singapore?

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

How fast is Singapore from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 140 ms to Frankfurt and 212 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 Singapore?

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 copyright takedown rules in Singapore?

The DMCA is a United States statute and does not bind a host situated in Singapore. Local copyright law applies and generally requires a court order to compel takedown. OnionVPS operates under that legal posture, so notices sent directly do not force removal.

Is my data protected by GDPR if I host in Singapore?

No. GDPR applies to personal data processed in the EU or related to EU residents under certain conditions, but Singapore is not in the EU. The legal framework here is separate; OnionVPS's services are not subject to GDPR as a matter of course.
