The Zurich Advantage
Zurich isn't just Switzerland's largest city — it's the world's Forex capital, one of Europe's largest internet exchange points, and the geographic hub of Central Europe. Your Zurich VPS benefits from all of it.
Zurich is home to SwissIX, one of Europe's largest internet exchange points, connecting over 250 network operators. Your VPS traffic peers directly with major European ISPs, CDNs, and cloud providers without expensive transit hops.
Zurich sits equidistant from Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, and Vienna. A single Zurich VPS reaches Germany, Italy, France, Austria, and Switzerland at sub-15ms latency — the lowest achievable from any single European location.
The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection is GDPR-equivalent but operates outside EU and US jurisdiction. No EU data sharing obligations, no US CLOUD Act subpoenas. Your Zurich VPS data stays in Switzerland under Swiss legal protection.
Zurich trades more Forex volume than any other city globally. Major banks including UBS and Julius Baer anchor a financial ecosystem with world-class connectivity to FX infrastructure in Frankfurt, London, and New York.
Swiss data centres run primarily on hydroelectric and renewable power — some of the lowest carbon intensity in Europe. Host your server sustainably without paying a green premium.
Switzerland has one of the world's most reliable power grids. Combined with redundant carrier uplinks and Tier-3 data centre infrastructure, your Zurich VPS benefits from 99.99% uptime SLA.
Network Performance
Zurich's central position and SwissIX peering deliver some of the lowest latencies available from any single European data centre. Whether your users are in Germany, France, Italy, or Eastern Europe, a Zurich VPS reaches them fast.
Our Zurich data centre connects through premium Swiss upstream carriers with direct peering at SwissIX, ensuring your traffic takes the shortest possible path to its destination.

FAQ
Zurich combines several advantages no other European city offers simultaneously: geographic centre of Europe for minimal multi-country latency, SwissIX internet exchange with 250+ peers, Switzerland's political neutrality and strong privacy law (nFADP) outside EU and US legal frameworks, world-class financial infrastructure, and clean renewable energy. For workloads requiring EU-wide reach, Swiss privacy, and financial-grade reliability, Zurich is the optimal location.
SwissIX is the Swiss Internet Exchange based in Zurich, connecting over 250 network operators including major European ISPs, cloud providers, and CDNs. Direct peering at SwissIX means your VPS traffic reaches major European networks via the shortest possible route — without expensive transit hops. This results in lower latency, higher bandwidth availability, and more resilient connectivity compared to VPS in locations without major IXP peering.
Average round-trip latency from Zurich to Frankfurt is approximately 9ms, and to Munich approximately 9ms. These are among the lowest latencies achievable to Germany from any non-German data centre. The Zurich-Frankfurt corridor is one of the most densely connected routes in European networking, with multiple fibre paths and direct IXP peering at both ends.
The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP, revised 2023) is recognised by the EU as providing GDPR-equivalent protection. However, Switzerland is not an EU member state, which means EU-level data sharing directives do not apply to Swiss-hosted data. The US CLOUD Act cannot compel Swiss providers to hand over data stored in Switzerland without going through Swiss courts under a mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT). This combination makes Zurich one of the strongest jurisdictions for data privacy in the world.
Yes. Every plan includes a Swiss IP address (both IPv4 and IPv6) assigned from a Zurich address block. Your VPS will show as located in Switzerland / Zurich on all IP geolocation services. This is particularly useful for VPN servers, Forex trading applications needing Swiss IP broker connections, and web services targeting Swiss or Central European users.
