New York · NYC-1 · Secaucus
North American reach
Answer
New York gives 1 ms local latency and 71 ms to London on DE-CIX New York and NYIIX. It is the least protective address we operate: Five Eyes leadership, CLOUD Act disclosure duties reaching data stored anywhere, FISA § 702 collection, and the DMCA applying directly rather than as a foreign notice. Choose it for proximity to US users and nothing else.
Each claim below names the instrument behind it and the year it took effect, so you can verify it rather than trust us.
No federal general data-retention mandate applies to hosting providers
Instrument · 2026
No enacted federal statute; retention is contractual, not compulsory
Providers must disclose data under warrant regardless of where it is stored
Instrument · 2018
CLOUD Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2713
Foreign-intelligence collection from US providers without individual warrants
Instrument · 2008
FISA Amendments Act § 702, 50 U.S.C. § 1881a
Copyright takedown regime applies directly, with safe harbour for compliant hosts
Instrument · 1998
Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512
The trade-off
Every reason our other pages exist. The United States leads Five Eyes, the CLOUD Act compels disclosure of data wherever it is physically stored, FISA § 702 permits collection from US providers without individual warrants, and the DMCA applies here with full force rather than as a letter you can ignore. New York is on the map because 1 ms to Manhattan and 71 ms to London is what some workloads need. If your threat model includes a copyright claimant, this is the one address on our network where they win by default.

Compare with the other seven
In New York, round-trip latency is 1 ms to Manhattan and 71 ms to London via DE-CIX New York and NYIIX. It is the least protective address we operate: Five Eyes leadership, CLOUD Act disclosure duties reaching data stored anywhere, FISA § 702 collection, and the DMCA applying directly rather than as a foreign notice. Choose it for proximity to US users and nothing else. The trade-off is stated fully on this page, not hidden.
There is no general federal law mandating data retention for hosting providers. Retention terms are contractual, not legal requirements, as of 2026.
The United States is a member of the Five Eyes alliance and is not an EU member state, so EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not apply to it.
Round-trip latency measured: 1 ms to New York, 71 ms to London, 76 ms to Amsterdam, 84 ms to Frankfurt, and 214 ms to Singapore. A looking glass is at lg-nyc.incognitovps.com.
