VPS Hosting in Frankfurt

Q: Why pick Frankfurt over Amsterdam for European VPS hosting?

Frankfurt routes through DE-CIX, which peers more traffic than AMS-IX (Amsterdam). For users in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Eastern Europe, and the MEA region, Frankfurt typically delivers lower latency. For users concentrated in the Netherlands, UK, or Nordics, Amsterdam is usually closer.

Q: Is GoZen Host Frankfurt VPS GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Data physically resides in a Frankfurt, Germany facility under EU jurisdiction, satisfying GDPR data-residency requirements. The facility holds ISO 27001 certification. GoZen Host LLC operates as a data processor under Article 28; a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available at /dpa.

Q: What is the typical latency from GoZen Host Frankfurt to other EU cities?

Approximate round-trip latencies from the Frankfurt datacenter: Berlin ~9ms, Amsterdam ~7ms, Paris ~13ms, London ~14ms, Vienna ~16ms, Stockholm ~26ms, Madrid ~31ms. Real-world latency depends on the user's ISP routing and last-mile network.
