Why hosting in Dallas looks the way it does
Dallas sits on a major internet exchange with 100 Gbit/s uplink and estimated round-trip times of 27 ms to Ashburn and 113 ms to Frankfurt. The region offers DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, NVMe storage, and custom ISO upload. OnionVPS's editorial note describes it as Central US with balanced latency to both coasts and cheap, abundant power. Nearby regions include Atlanta (18 ms), Chicago (19 ms), Phoenix (21 ms), and Querétaro (21 ms).
People deploy game servers, VPNs, and relay nodes in Dallas for low latency across the US and to Latin America. The central location and 27 ms to Ashburn suit financial data feeds, while the legal posture and no-KYC policy attract privacy-conscious operators running mail, DNS, or custom applications.

Frequently asked questions
Is United States a good place to host a server?
Central US with balanced latency to both coasts and cheap, abundant power.
Is United States in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
Yes — United States is a Five Eyes member. That is a legitimate consideration if state surveillance is in your threat model; it says nothing about the quality of the connectivity, which is why we operate here.
Does the DMCA apply to a server in United States?
Yes. This is a United States location, so the DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure applies in full and we operate a standard process for it.
How fast is Dallas from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 113 ms to Frankfurt and 27 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 Dallas?
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.
Is hosting in Dallas legal for a foreigner?
Yes. OnionVPS's Dallas location is open to anyone, regardless of nationality. There is no identity verification, so you can sign up with just an email address. You must comply with US laws, including the DMCA, and are responsible for content you host.
