VPS and dedicated servers in Vienna
Vienna is the natural hub for Central and Southeastern European traffic. The Vienna Internet Exchange (VIX), operated out of the University of Vienna, is the dominant Austrian peering point and a major aggregation hub for traffic to and from Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and the Balkans. Our Vienna location offers KVM VPS and streaming VPS, and dedicated servers are available in Austria.
Vienna is the right choice when you serve audiences in DACH-South (southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland) plus Hungary, Slovakia, and the Western Balkans. Latency to Frankfurt stays under 12 ms, so Vienna also works as a mirror for Frankfurt-primary deployments.
01Latency
Latency from Vienna
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 |
|---|---|
| Bratislava | 3-5 ms |
| Budapest | 8-10 ms |
| Frankfurt (DE-CIX) | 11.4 ms |
| Bucharest (RoNIX) | 17.8 ms |
| Milan (MIX) | 20-23 ms |
| London (LINX) | 25-28 ms |
Ranges are approximate, based on typical fiber routing between metros. Real-world RTT varies with carrier path, traffic, and TCP retransmission.

04Questions
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Vienna deployments.
What datacenter is used in Vienna?
We don't name the Vienna facility on this page. If you need the exact site for a compliance review or latency planning, ask us by live chat or ticket before you order.
Is Vienna a better choice than Frankfurt for Eastern Europe?
For audiences in Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, and parts of Bosnia/Serbia, Vienna typically beats Frankfurt by 5-15 ms. For traffic that's split between Western and Eastern Europe, Frankfurt usually still wins because of DE-CIX's pan-European peering.
What does VIX peer with?
VIX peers with all major Austrian ISPs (A1, Magenta, Drei) and a long tail of regional carriers across Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and the Balkans. It also has cross-IX connectivity to DE-CIX, which means Frankfurt-bound traffic gets a clean path.
