--- title: "Offshore Server Latency from 20 Cities · 7 Locations" description: "Estimated latency from 20 cities to our 7 offshore locations, a latency estimator for your city, and what every server gets: DDoS mitigation, IPv6." url: https://offshoreserv.com/network lang: en updated: 2026-09-27 source: HTML page at the url above (canonical); this is its Markdown version --- Network # Offshore server latency, city by city. Pick the location closest to your users: choose a city to estimate the round trip to each of our seven jurisdictions. The figures come from distance and typical fiber routes, so treat them as a guide, not a measurement. 20 cities 7 locations Estimates, not measurements How we estimate - **Distance**: Great circle, city to city - **Light in fiber**: ~200 km per ms - **Real routes vs straight line**: × 1.45 - **Equipment on the path**: + 2 ms - **Reported figure**: Round trip Want a real measurement? Test the network yourself Round trip in milliseconds, lower is better. Below about 50 ms, interactive use feels instant; trading and gaming benefit from the lowest figure you can get. A new VPS or RDP service has a 72-hour money-back window: time enough to measure the real latency from your own connection. 1.

To measure from your own network, try a VPS in that location under the 72-hour money-back guarantee. ## What every server gets from the network. The same network features on every plan, in every jurisdiction. - **1 to 10 Gbps ports** — Unmetered: 1 Gbps on VPS, RDP and most servers, 10 Gbps on the 10G build. - **DDoS mitigation** — Always-on filtering at the edge, included at no extra cost. - **IPv4 + IPv6** — A dedicated IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 block per server. - **Port 25 closed by default** — Keeps our ranges off spam blocklists; opened on request. - **99.9% availability** — Monthly network availability backed by service credits. - **No traffic inspection** — No deep packet inspection, no content scanning, no logs of your traffic. ## Test the network yourself. Estimates are a start. Measure from where your users are before you commit. 1. **Order a small VPS there** — Pick the location you are considering and the smallest plan: it is live about 60 seconds after you order. 2. **Measure from your side** — Run `ping` and `mtr` to it from where your users are, at the hours that matter. 3. **Keep it or get your money back** — VPS and RDP come with a 72-hour money-back guarantee on their first period, refunded to your balance.

They model the fiber path from the great-circle distance and a typical routing overhead. Real latency is usually close for well-connected cities, and higher when your provider routes traffic indirectly. Measure before you commit, from where your users are. ### How can I measure the real latency? From a server of your own. Order the smallest [VPS](https://offshoreserv.com/offshore-vps) in the location you are considering, run `ping` and `mtr` to it from where your users are, and keep it or use the 72-hour money-back guarantee, which refunds its first period to your balance. We do not publish test IP addresses, so that our ranges are not scraped and scanned by bots. ### Which location is best for Europe? The Netherlands has the lowest latency to most of Western and Central Europe. Switzerland and Romania are close behind; Moldova and Bulgaria are best toward Eastern Europe and the Balkans. ### Which location is best for Asia? Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur is a few milliseconds from Singapore and well placed for South-East Asia. ### Is bandwidth really unmetered? Yes. There is no traffic quota on any plan. Shared plans follow fair use; dedicated and 10 Gbps servers are yours to use to their stated capacity. ## Found the right location? 1. Choose a server there 2. Pay in crypto, no ID asked 3. Measure it yourself for 72 hours Same prices in all seven jurisdictions --- OffshoreServ is an offshore hosting provider: VPS, dedicated servers, Windows RDP and GPU servers in seven jurisdictions (Iceland, Switzerland, Moldova, Romania, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and Malaysia), paid only in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Tether (USDT) and Solana), with no identity checks (no KYC).
