Paris servers in the datacenter

Paris is the obligatory hosting choice for any workload where French end-user latency matters. France-IX is the largest peering point in France and one of the top five in continental Europe, and almost every major French ISP (Orange, Free, SFR, Bouygues) has dense peering presence there. Our Paris deployment sits in 's Paris campus (PAR1-PAR8 cluster), the dominant carrier-neutral colocation footprint in the metro.

Paris is the natural default for French, Belgian (Wallonia), Luxembourg, and Monaco audiences, and it's a strong secondary location for any pan-European deployment that already has a Frankfurt or Amsterdam primary. Latency from Paris to Frankfurt is 12-15 ms and to London 8-10 ms — Paris is firmly inside the core European low-latency triangle.

Latency from Paris

Approximate round-trip times to major destinations.

Destination	Round-trip time
London (LINX)	8-10 ms
Amsterdam (AMS-IX)	12-15 ms
Frankfurt (DE-CIX)	12-15 ms
Brussels	5-7 ms
Marseille (FranceIX-South)	15-18 ms
Madrid (ESpanix)	22-25 ms

Latency values are approximate, based on typical fiber routing between metros. Real-world RTT varies with carrier path, traffic, and TCP retransmission.

Best for

Workloads that benefit most from a Paris deployment.

French and Francophone Belgian e-commerce where domestic France-IX peering produces 2-5 ms latency to Orange, Free, SFR, and Bouygues subscribers.

Health-data and regulated French workloads where on-soil hosting with HDS-compliant infrastructure is a contractual requirement.

European-failover sites for London-primary deployments — Paris is the closest non-UK EU location to LINX with sub-10 ms RTT.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Paris deployments.

What datacenter is used in Paris?+

Paris servers are deployed in 's Paris campus (PAR-series), the largest carrier-neutral colocation cluster in the metro. The campus hosts France-IX and most major French ISP and content peering.

Should I choose Paris or Frankfurt for French users?+

Paris, almost always. The latency hit from Frankfurt to a French eyeball ISP is typically 15-20 ms larger than from Paris — that's a meaningful TTFB regression for any web-app, e-commerce, or interactive workload. Frankfurt only wins if your audience is split half-French, half-pan-European.

Is Paris suitable for health or regulated French workloads?+

Yes. The Paris facilities have HDS (Hébergeurs de Données de Santé) certified infrastructure, which is the French requirement for hosting personal health data. ISO 27001 certification is also in place at the campus level.
