Why hosting in Casablanca looks the way it does

Casablanca sits on the African side of the Gibraltar Strait, with estimated round-trip times of 33 ms to Frankfurt and 85 ms to Ashburn. The 20 Gbit/s uplink and DDoS scrubbing make it a practical edge location. It is also outside GDPR jurisdiction, which suits workloads that prefer not to handle EU data under that regime.

Users deploy latency-sensitive proxies and relays for West African and Iberian audiences. The 10 ms hop to Lisbon and 13 ms to Madrid makes it a strong endpoint for cross-region services. Native IPv6 and NVMe storage support Tor nodes, mail relays, and lightweight database instances.

Frequently asked questions

Is Morocco a good place to host a server?

North African gateway with short hops to Iberia and francophone West Africa.

Is Morocco in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

No. Morocco is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our edge tier.

Does the DMCA apply to a server in Morocco?

No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Morocco is governed by Morocco copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.

How fast is Casablanca from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 33 ms to Frankfurt and 85 ms to Ashburn. These are computed from great-circle distance rather than measured, so treat them as a floor.

Do I need to identify myself to order in Casablanca?

No. Every OnionVPS location has the same signup: an email address you control and a cryptocurrency payment. No name, no address, no document, no card.

What are the data protection rules in Morocco?

Morocco is not subject to GDPR, so no GDPR obligations apply to personal data processed here. Local data protection law may still apply, but it is not the EU regime. Customers should consider their own compliance requirements under other jurisdictions when storing personal data.

Can I choose Casablanca when ordering?

Yes. Casablanca is listed as a region at checkout. You pick it when ordering and get an instance provisioned in about 55 seconds. The entry price is $4 per month.
