Why hosting in Tallinn looks the way it does
OnionVPS's Tallinn region, operating since 2021, sits at a key European internet exchange. It offers a 20 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, NVMe storage, and custom ISO upload. Estimated latency to Frankfurt is 22 ms, to Ashburn 96 ms. Nearby regions include Helsinki (3 ms), Riga (6 ms), Stockholm (7 ms), and Vilnius (9 ms).
The low latency to the Nordics and central Europe makes Tallinn a natural fit for latency-sensitive applications serving Northern Europe: game servers, VoIP, and crypto nodes that need clean, unmetered connectivity. The clear regulatory environment also attracts individuals and small teams running public-facing services without the friction of identity checks.

Frequently asked questions
Is Estonia a good place to host a server?
Estonia built its state on digital infrastructure; the regulatory environment for hosting is unusually clear.
Is Estonia in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Estonia 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 Estonia?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Estonia is governed by Estonia copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Tallinn from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 22 ms to Frankfurt and 96 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 Tallinn?
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.
Does GDPR compliance affect my personal data hosted in Tallinn?
Yes, the GDPR applies to any personal data processed on servers in Tallinn. This means you must handle any personal data you store on your VPS in accordance with GDPR requirements, including data subject rights, security, and breach notification obligations. It is your responsibility as the data controller.
Can I move my existing server to Tallinn?
Yes, you can deploy a new server in Tallinn and migrate your data. Consider your IP address will change. If you need the same IP, you may want to check your current provider's policy. OnionVPS's upgrade path allows easy scaling after you are set up.
