Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to whoever visits the site or uses the bot. For a small server that is usually one country, and picking the right one is the cheapest speed improvement available to you.

Basic VPS in The Gap — FAQs

Do you have a data centre in The Gap?
No. The nearest is Sydney, 733 km away, which is the location we default to for The Gap customers. Nothing about the server changes with location except the round trip.
How fast will it feel from The Gap?
Around 11–22 ms to Sydney, estimated from fibre distance rather than measured. Your own connection and route decide where in that range you land.
Which hardware class should I choose?
General purpose for anything people wait on. Availability if the server is idle most of the day. Dedicated only when something must never share a core.
Can I change the class or the location later?
Memory, cores and disk go up on the same server by hand, usually within the hour. Changing location means a rebuild, so it is worth picking well now.
How much does a basic VPS cost in The Gap?
From $49.95 USD per month on the Availability class, $60.95 USD on General purpose. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
