Sydney
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 vps in Australia?
The smallest Linux VPS costs $5.50 per month; the largest comes to $138.00. Every plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64 and full root access.
02 Why choose Australia for this?
Sydney sits on IX Australia, delivering 94 ms to Singapore and 205 ms to New York. Legally it ranks near the bottom of our network: two-year metadata retention, founding Five Eyes membership, and the 2018 Assistance and Access Act can compel providers to help access encrypted communications. Best suited to Australian and New Zealand latency, Oceania game servers and regional backup targets.
03 What is the catch with Australia?
Sydney is the second-weakest legal choice on our network. Australia requires two years of metadata retention, is a Five Eyes founding member, and the 2018 Assistance and Access Act lets authorities compel providers to assist with encrypted communications — a power absent in our privacy jurisdictions. We offer it only because 94 ms to Singapore and local latency for Australian users aren't available elsewhere.
04 Do you require identity verification in Australia?
No. Token-only applies in all 16 locations: no name, email, phone, or ID at any point, and crypto-only settlement.
