VPS and dedicated servers in Frankfurt
Frankfurt is the central nervous system of the European internet. DE-CIX, the world's largest internet exchange by aggregate peak traffic, sits here — and roughly 90% of Germany's domestic traffic and a significant share of pan-European traffic transits this metro. Our Frankfurt location offers KVM VPS and streaming VPS, and dedicated servers are available in Germany.
If your audience sits anywhere in continental Europe and you can only choose one location, Frankfurt is almost always the right answer. Median round-trip times to Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, and Vienna stay in the low-double-digits, and connectivity to Eastern European metros (Warsaw, Bucharest, Sofia) is excellent because most of those carriers backhaul through DE-CIX anyway.
01Latency
Latency from Frankfurt
Round-trip times to major destinations. Single values were measured between our own servers on 12 October 2026 (20 pings in each direction); ranges are approximate.
| Destination | Round-trip time |
|---|---|
| Amsterdam (AMS-IX) | 6.2 ms |
| Vienna (VIX) | 11.4 ms |
| London (LINX) | 12-15 ms |
| Paris (France-IX) | 12-15 ms |
| Warsaw (PLIX) | 16.3 ms |
| Ashburn (Equinix IX) | 96.6 ms |
Ranges are approximate, based on typical fiber routing between metros. Real-world RTT varies with carrier path, traffic, and TCP retransmission.

Is Frankfurt a good choice for European e-commerce?
Yes — Frankfurt is typically the lowest-latency European location for a single-region deployment because DE-CIX peers with virtually every major European ISP and content network. Pair with Madrid or Bucharest only if your audience is heavily concentrated in Iberia or the Balkans.
