Why Japan
Tokyo runs on JPIX and BBIX at 71 ms to Singapore and 168 ms to New York. Japan protects secrecy of communications constitutionally, imposes no general retention duty and joins no Eyes tier — the strongest legal position among our performance sites — but it cooperates readily through mutual legal assistance and has a defined claimant disclosure procedure.
- Constitutional secrecy of communications with narrow statutory exceptions 1947
- No general data-retention mandate for hosting providers 1984
- Provider liability limited, with a defined disclosure procedure for claimants 2001
The trade-off
Legally the strongest of our performance sites and the most expensive. Japan protects secrecy of communications at constitutional level, has no general retention mandate, and is in no Eyes tier. What it does not give you is distance from a determined claimant: the Provider Liability Limitation Act sets out a working disclosure procedure, and Japan cooperates readily with Western law enforcement through mutual legal assistance. Also 224 ms from Frankfurt — this is a site for Asian users, not a European hedge.
