Frankfurt — where your server lives

One of the best-connected cities on the internet, and the hardware that makes a €6.5 VPS feel fast.

Why Frankfurt

Frankfurt hosts DE-CIX, one of the largest internet exchanges in the world. Networks from all over Europe and beyond meet here, which means short paths and few hops for your visitors — from Stockholm, Warsaw, Madrid or Moscow. For a European audience there is no better single location, and latency to US East stays under 100 ms.

Hardware in the racks

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D — among the fastest single-thread CPUs in production, with 16 cores and up to 5.7 GHz. DDR5 ECC memory — error correction means silent bit-flips never corrupt your data. NVMe Gen4 in RAID — thousands of IOPS on every VM, and a dead drive never takes the node down. Backup storage lives on separate hardware, never on the node it protects.

Network

Every production plan carries a dedicated IPv4 address and unlimited traffic on a 1 Gbit/s port. NAT plans use a shared IPv4 with 10 forwarded ports and are located in the US — the budget option for bots and tunnels, not for latency-sensitive websites. The site's own availability is public at status.buran.host: check it yourself instead of trusting a badge.

What this means in practice

Interactive sites answer in milliseconds for European visitors. Databases run on NVMe, so query-heavy apps do not crawl. Game servers compile and generate worlds fast. And a network incident in one location does not become a support ticket marathon — status is public and maintenance is announced in advance.

Quick answers

Can I choose a different location?

Production plans run in Frankfurt; the budget NAT plans are hosted in the US. That is the whole list — we would rather run two locations well than a dozen badly.

Do you offer IPv6?

Not yet as a standard feature — IPv4 covers every plan today. If you need IPv6 for a specific project, ask support and we will tell you honestly what is possible right now.

Where can I see incidents and maintenance?

On status.buran.host, in real time, with history. Planned maintenance is announced in advance.
