Why Australia
Sydney covers Oceania on IX Australia at 94 ms to Singapore and 205 ms to New York. Legally it is near the bottom of our range: two-year mandatory metadata retention, Five Eyes founding membership, and powers under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act to compel provider assistance with encrypted communications. A latency choice only.
- Two-year mandatory retention of telecommunications metadata 2015
- Providers may be compelled to assist with access to encrypted communications 2018
- Founding Five Eyes participant under the UKUSA arrangement 1956
The trade-off
Oceania coverage with the second-weakest legal posture on the network. Australia mandates two years of telecommunications metadata retention and, under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act, can compel providers to help access encrypted communications — a power with no equivalent in any of our privacy jurisdictions. It is a Five Eyes founding participant. Sydney exists because 94 ms to Singapore and local latency for Australian users cannot be bought anywhere else on this map.

§03 FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01 How much is a storage in Australia?
Pricing starts at $22.50 per month at SYD-1 · Alexandria and goes up to $135.50 for the largest configuration. All plans include DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.
02 Why choose Australia for this?
Sydney covers Oceania on IX Australia with 94 ms latency to Singapore and 205 ms to New York. However, Australia's legal posture is among the weakest: mandatory two-year metadata retention, founding member of Five Eyes, and powers under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act to compel provider assistance with encrypted communications. It suits Australian and New Zealand latency, Oceania game servers, and regional backup targets.
03 What is the catch with Australia?
Sydney provides Oceania coverage on IX Australia, with 94 ms to Singapore and 205 ms to New York. Legally, it's near the bottom of our range: Australia mandates two-year metadata retention, is a Five Eyes founding member, and under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act can compel provider assistance with encrypted communications. Choose it only for latency.
04 Do you require identity verification in Australia?
No. The token-only model applies across all 16 locations: no name, email, phone, or ID at any point, and settlement only in crypto.
