Why hosting in Vancouver looks the way it does
Vancouver is a Five Eyes jurisdiction, but OnionVPS operates the region from a data centre with a 20 Gbit/s uplink and DDoS scrubbing. The region has been live since 2023, offering NVMe storage and native IPv6 /64. Latency to Seattle is about 5 ms, and to Asia it is the shortest among OnionVPS's North American regions, making it a solid edge location for transpacific traffic.
People deploy game servers and low-latency applications for the US West Coast and Asia, because round-trip times to Seattle are about 5 ms. Others host proxies and VPN endpoints to take advantage of the jurisdiction's court-order requirement for takedowns.

Frequently asked questions
Is Canada a good place to host a server?
Canadian West Coast with short transpacific hops.
Is Canada in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
Yes — Canada 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 Canada?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Canada is governed by Canada copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Vancouver from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 111 ms to Frankfurt and 53 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 Vancouver?
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 there a data cap on VPS plans in Vancouver?
No data cap is specified. OnionVPS's plans include generous bandwidth, but the exact transfer allowance is not listed in the available facts. For details, check the service documentation or contact support via the encrypted ticket desk.
What payment methods are accepted for a Vancouver server?
Payment is cryptocurrency only through OxaPay. No fiat, cards, or PayPal are accepted. Invoices are denominated in US dollars. Billing intervals include monthly, quarterly, annual, and biennial options, so you can choose a cycle that suits your budget.
