Why Germany

Frankfurt sits on DE-CIX, the largest exchange point in the world by peak traffic, at 1 ms local and 7 ms to Amsterdam. Germany has no enforceable general retention mandate after the Constitutional Court struck it down and the CJEU confirmed, and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy — but it remains a Fourteen Eyes participant inside EU judicial cooperation.

  • General data retention struck down as unconstitutional and unenforced since 2010
  • German general retention held contrary to EU law by the Court of Justice 2022
  • Constitutional secrecy of telecommunications, subject to statutory limits 1949

The trade-off

The best network position in Europe and a genuinely mixed legal picture. Germany has no enforceable general retention mandate — the Constitutional Court struck it down in 2010 and the CJEU confirmed in 2022 — and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy. Against that: Fourteen Eyes participation and full EU judicial cooperation, so a European Investigation Order reaches Frankfurt directly. Better than Paris or London on paper, still not a substitute for Zürich.

§03 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01 How much is a gpu in Germany?

Pricing starts at $128.50 per month at FRA-1 · Niederrad, scaling to $3,553.00 for the top configuration. Every plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.

02 Why choose Germany for this?

Frankfurt is on DE-CIX, the world's largest internet exchange by peak traffic, offering 1 ms local latency and 7 ms to Amsterdam. Germany lacks an enforceable general data retention mandate, as the Constitutional Court struck it down in 2010 and the CJEU confirmed in 2022, and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy. Ideal for peering-sensitive workloads, European CDN origins, and GPU training requiring EU latency and bulk transfer.

03 What is the catch with Germany?

The best network position in Europe and a genuinely mixed legal picture. Germany has no enforceable general retention mandate — the Constitutional Court struck it down in 2010 and the CJEU confirmed in 2022 — and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy. Against that: Fourteen Eyes participation and full EU judicial cooperation, so a European Investigation Order reaches Frankfurt directly. Better than Paris or London on paper, still not a substitute for Zürich.

04 Do you require identity verification in Germany?

No. The token-only model applies across all 16 locations: no name, email, phone, or ID at any point, and settlement is crypto-only.
