What this site measures
- Latency estimate
- On this site: 5 ms plus distance divided by 59 km per ms, measured from the largest city of the audience country to the nearest data-center city. Treat it as a floor-plus-allowance, then test with a trial.
- Data-center city
- The metro area where a host rents rack space. Two suburbs of the same metro count as one city here, so a host with Ashburn and Reston counts once.
Questions people ask
How do I choose a VPS location?
Pick the city closest to most of your users, then compare price. Each of the 103 audience pages ranks every host for that country. Doubling the distance roughly doubles the ping above a floor of about 5 ms.
Is the ping figure measured?
No. It is an estimate: 5 ms plus the straight-line distance divided by 59 km per millisecond. Peering and routing can move real numbers by 20–40%, so run a trial before committing.
How often is the data refreshed?
Prices and locations were checked on 15 October 2026. Each host page links to the current pricing page.
Why do some countries have no local servers?
41 of 103 markets, for example Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic, have no data center from any host in the index; their pages rank by the nearest city.
