We run Equinix VPS in three metros: Equinix AM6 in Amsterdam, Equinix FR4 and FR6 in Frankfurt, and Equinix DC6 in Ashburn, Virginia. KVM plans start at €5 a month in Amsterdam and €5.50 in Ashburn, excluding VAT. Ashburn was in stock when we checked on 2 November, while Amsterdam and Frankfurt were sold out with preorders open.
Which of our Equinix VPS locations sit in which Equinix site?
Equinix runs colocation campuses in most big internet hubs, and several of our locations are inside them. This is what our location pages state for each one, checked on 2 November 2026, with the products we sell there and the stock on that day.
| Location | Facility | What we sell there | VPS stock on 2 November |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam, Netherlands | Equinix AM6 | KVM VPS, streaming VPS, dedicated servers in the Netherlands | Sold out, preorder open |
| Frankfurt, Germany | Equinix FR4 and FR6 | KVM VPS, streaming VPS, dedicated servers in Germany | Sold out, preorder open |
| Ashburn, Virginia, US | Equinix DC6 | KVM VPS, streaming VPS, Windows VPS, dedicated servers in the United States | In stock |
| Madrid, Spain | Equinix MD2 | Dedicated servers in Spain, no VPS | Not applicable |
Our other VPS locations are not in Equinix buildings. Vienna runs in Interxion VIE and Sofia in Telepoint, and we do not publish a facility for Bucharest or Warsaw. If you need an Equinix building for a supplier list or a compliance review, the four rows above are the ones to look at.
Dedicated servers are sold by country rather than by building. If the exact building matters for your dedicated server, ask us by live chat or ticket before you order and we will tell you where it would sit.
What does an Equinix VPS cost?
Our KVM VPS plans cost the same everywhere except for a small monthly location fee, which differs by site. These are the prices with that fee included. They are in euros, exclude VAT, and the hourly rate is what an hourly VPS costs for every hour it exists.
| KVM plan | vCPU / RAM / SSD | Amsterdam, AM6 | Frankfurt, FR4 and FR6 | Ashburn, DC6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VPS I | 1 / 2 GB / 20 GB | €5 or €0.0070 an hour | €5.50 or €0.0077 an hour | €5.50 or €0.0077 an hour |
| VPS II | 2 / 4 GB / 40 GB | €8 or €0.0111 | €9 or €0.0125 | €9 or €0.0125 |
| VPS III | 2 / 8 GB / 60 GB | €14 or €0.0195 | €16 or €0.0222 | €16 or €0.0222 |
| VPS IV | 4 / 16 GB / 80 GB | €24 or €0.0333 | €26 or €0.0361 | €26 or €0.0361 |
| VPS V | 6 / 24 GB / 100 GB | €42 or €0.0584 | €44 or €0.0611 | €44 or €0.0611 |

Every plan includes unmetered traffic and 100 Gbps of always on DDoS protection at layers 3 and 4. Streaming VPS, our 10 Gbps unmetered plans, are billed monthly and start at €12.99 in Amsterdam and Frankfurt and €14.49 in Ashburn. The streaming VPS page has the full list.
Equinix Ashburn: what we run in DC6
Ashburn in Northern Virginia is the largest data centre market in the world and the main interconnection hub of the US East coast, and Equinix runs one of its densest campuses there. Our Ashburn node sits in DC6 on that campus. It is our only US VPS location, so everything we sell as a US VPS runs there.
- Hourly or monthly KVM VPS from €0.0077 an hour or €5.50 a month, with Linux and FreeBSD images.
- Streaming VPS on 10 Gbps unmetered ports, from €14.49 a month.
- Windows VPS with Windows Server 2022 or 2025, from €10.99 a month, bring your own licence. Our post on the Windows VPS in the USA covers the plans and the licence.
- Dedicated servers in the United States, from €209 a month, at the same price as in Europe.
Ashburn VPS do not have IPv6 yet. Each one gets a dedicated IPv4 address, and more can be added at checkout. The Ashburn location page has the rest of the details.
Equinix Amsterdam and Frankfurt: sold out, with preorders
Our VPS in Amsterdam and Frankfurt were sold out on 2 November 2026. Both locations accept preorders, with an estimated delivery of 14 days from the order, which means 16 November for an order placed on 2 November. Dedicated servers in the Netherlands and Germany are not affected and can be ordered as usual.
The two cities are 6.2 ms apart on our network, measured between our own servers on 12 October 2026, close enough for synchronous replication between countries. Amsterdam is home to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange and Frankfurt to the big Frankfurt exchange, two of the largest in Europe. Our Amsterdam and Frankfurt location pages cover each city.
If you need a European Equinix VPS before the preorders arrive, we had no in stock alternative inside an Equinix building in Europe on 2 November. Vienna in Interxion VIE is the nearest location, 11.4 ms from Frankfurt, and it is sold out as well. Bucharest and Sofia are in stock.
What does an Equinix data centre give you, and what does it not?
An Equinix campus is a carrier neutral building. Many networks, cloud on ramps and content providers rent space on the same campus, so traffic between them can stay inside the metro. Internet exchanges run on or near these campuses, such as the Equinix Internet Exchange in Ashburn and the large exchanges in Amsterdam and Frankfurt.
For a VPS, that mostly shows up as short paths to large networks in the same city. It does not mean every packet takes the shortest path to every network. Two things are worth knowing before you buy:
- We do not have our own ports on the exchanges. Our network, AS60982, reaches the Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Equinix exchanges through an upstream transit provider, not through direct exchange ports. Our network page lists every location and its facility.
- The building's audits are not ours. We hold no compliance certifications ourselves, so do not rely on certifications through us for regulated workloads.
When does the Equinix name actually matter?
- Supplier and compliance lists. Some companies keep a list of approved facilities. If Equinix is on yours, the table at the top of this post tells you which of our locations qualify.
- Trading near a broker. Brokers often place their matching engines in Equinix hubs such as FR in Frankfurt, LD4 in London and NY4 in the New York area. Our Frankfurt location shares a metro with the FR cluster and Amsterdam is roughly 10 ms from London. For a broker in NY4, measure the route from Ashburn with our looking glass first, because routing decides the result, not the map.
- Being near other networks in the same city. If your users or partners sit on networks present on the same campus, paths tend to be short. It is worth checking, not assuming.
The honest summary: an Equinix location is a good building in a well connected metro. Choose it for where your users are, then test the route from your own network with our looking glass before you order.
Are Equinix dedicated servers priced differently?
No. A dedicated server costs the same in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and the United States as in any of our other seven countries, with no setup fee. The range starts at €209 a month for a dual Xeon E5 2630 v3 with an unmetered, guaranteed 1 Gbps port, and the full price ladder is in our guide to what a dedicated server costs.
Xeon servers in stock are typically online within about an hour, and EPYC builds can take up to 14 days, with the estimate shown at checkout. If the server has to be in a specific Equinix building, say so before you order, not after.
Questions people ask about Equinix VPS and servers
Is Equinix Ashburn the same as Equinix DC6?
DC6 is one of the data centres on the Equinix Ashburn campus in Virginia. When we say our Ashburn VPS run in Equinix Ashburn, DC6 is the building.
Do you peer directly at the Equinix Internet Exchange in Ashburn?
No. Our network, AS60982, reaches the exchange through an upstream transit provider, so we do not claim a direct exchange port. Test the route from your own network with our looking glass if the path matters to you.
Can I rent an Equinix VPS by the hour?
Yes. Our KVM VPS in all three Equinix metros can be billed by the hour, from €0.0070 an hour in Amsterdam and €0.0077 in Frankfurt and Ashburn. Ashburn was the one in stock on 2 November.
How far apart are the Equinix locations?
On our network, measured on 12 October 2026, Frankfurt to Amsterdam is 6.2 ms, Frankfurt to Ashburn 96.6 ms and Amsterdam to Ashburn 102.6 ms. Our measured latency table has every pair.
Order an Equinix VPS
For an Equinix VPS that was in stock on 2 November, pick Ashburn when you order an hourly or monthly KVM VPS. For Amsterdam or Frankfurt, place a preorder with the 14 day delivery estimate, or look at a dedicated server in the same country.
