Paris
Why France
Paris is our lowest-latency Western European site, 9 ms from Amsterdam and 8 ms from London, on France-IX and DE-CIX Paris. It is not a privacy jurisdiction: France sits in the Nine Eyes tier, mandates connection-data retention that reaches hosts, and is fully within EU judicial cooperation. Choose it for speed, not for legal distance.
- Connection-data retention is mandatory and applies to hosting providers 2021
- General retention upheld for national-security purposes 2021
- Hosting providers must remove manifestly unlawful content on notification 2004
The trade-off
This is a latency choice, not a legal one. France participates in the Nine Eyes tier, imposes connection-data retention that reaches hosting providers, and is fully inside EU judicial cooperation — a European Investigation Order arrives here without friction. Pick Paris because your users are in Western Europe and 9 ms to Amsterdam matters. If jurisdiction is what you are buying, buy Iceland or Switzerland instead.

§03 FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01 How much is a storage in France?
Prices begin at $18.00 per month at PAR-1 · Aubervilliers and go up to $107.50 for the largest configuration. Every plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.
02 Why choose France for this?
Paris is our lowest-latency Western European site, 9 ms from Amsterdam and 8 ms from London, on France-IX and DE-CIX Paris. It is not a privacy jurisdiction: France sits in the Nine Eyes tier, mandates connection-data retention that reaches hosts, and is fully within EU judicial cooperation. Optimize for latency-critical French and Benelux audiences, low-latency game servers, and CDN origins without jurisdictional requirements.
03 What is the catch with France?
Paris is the right call when low latency matters more than legal isolation. France is in the Nine Eyes tier, requires connection-data retention that extends to hosts, and sits fully within EU judicial cooperation, so a European Investigation Order reaches us without friction. If your priority is jurisdiction, choose Iceland or Switzerland instead.
04 Do you require identity verification in France?
No. Every one of the 16 locations uses the same token-only model: no name, email, phone, or ID at any stage, and settlement is crypto-only.
