Why hosting in Kathmandu looks the way it does
Kathmandu sits at 27.72, 85.32, with an estimated 93 ms round-trip to Frankfurt and 169 ms to Ashburn. The facility routes via India and offers 10 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6, and NVMe storage. As an edge jurisdiction, it is a smaller footprint for latency coverage, not a primary data hub. OnionVPS has operated here since 2024.
People deploy latency-sensitive services for South Asian users, such as game servers, real-time collaboration tools, and financial trading UIs, benefiting from ~50 ms to Singapore and ~23 ms to Mumbai. The no-KYC posture suits privacy-focused applications, and full root access enables custom kernels or routing configurations.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nepal a good place to host a server?
Himalayan edge capacity routed via India.
Is Nepal in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Nepal 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 Nepal?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Nepal is governed by Nepal copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Kathmandu from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 93 ms to Frankfurt and 169 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 Kathmandu?
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 a court order required to take down content in Nepal?
Yes. The DMCA is a US statute and does not bind a host in Kathmandu. Local copyright law applies, and it generally requires a court order for takedowns. This means your content is not subject to US-style notice-and-takedown procedures; legal action would need to go through Nepal's courts.
How fast is hosting in Kathmandu for users in Bangladesh?
Very fast. The estimated round-trip time to Dhaka, Bangladesh is just 11 ms, thanks to the proximity of the two cities. This makes Kathmandu an excellent choice for services targeting Bangladeshi users who need low latency, such as live streaming, VOIP, or online gaming platforms.
