Germany VPS hosting in Frankfurt

Why host in Germany

A visitor in Frankfurt reaches a server in Frankfurt in 4–14 ms across DACH, through DE-CIX, Telia, Cogent. The same visitor reaching a server on another continent adds 150 to 300 milliseconds to every round trip, and an HTTPS page load makes several before the first byte arrives. Choosing the region is the cheapest performance decision you will make, and it needs no work on your part beyond ticking the right box at checkout.

What people run here

• EU SaaS workloads
• GDPR data residency
• Low-latency game servers

Frankfurt region at a glance

Frankfurt is a core region: KryoHost owns and operates the hardware, with its own network equipment and monitoring, and keeps spare parts on site.

What a Germany VPS costs, plan by plan

Prices in Germany are listed in US dollars per month, even though the local currency is the EUR. Germany has a price ladder of its own rather than a blended global rate. The entry plan, VPS CC 1C-1G, is $14.99 a month for 1 core and 1 GB of RAM; VPS 2C-4G (2 cores, 4 GB) is $44.99. Germany is the lowest-priced region KryoHost sells, with the entry plan at $14.99.

Memory is what a growing site runs out of first, so the price of each gigabyte is the useful comparison. VPS 4C-16G is the cheapest way to buy RAM in Frankfurt, at $6.25 per gigabyte, and the smallest plan costs $14.99 per gigabyte. If you expect to need more than 4 GB within a year, starting on a mid-size plan costs less than outgrowing the smallest one and migrating.

What people run in Frankfurt, and what it needs

The businesses that host in Germany most often are the ones in the list below. For each, this is what the server needs, and which plan sold in Frankfurt fits it.

EU SaaS workloads: size for the database, not the web server

Application servers are usually limited by the database and by memory, long before the CPU. In Frankfurt the usual starting point is VPS 1C-4G at $34.99 a month (1 core, 4 GB of RAM), which leaves room for the app, a database and a cache. Hosting in the market you sell to also shortens every API call your customers make, and DE-CIX, Telia, Cogent keeps that traffic on regional routes.

GDPR data residency: know where the data is

Where data is stored is a legal question as well as a technical one, and only you can say which rules apply to your business. What KryoHost can state is the physical fact: a server ordered in Frankfurt runs in Germany, in a a KryoHost-owned core region, upstream through DE-CIX, Telia, Cogent. Choose the region first, put the data there, and check with your own adviser whether that satisfies the rule you are bound by. Backups you copy off the server leave the region unless you keep them in it too.

Low-latency game servers: keep the round trip short

Anything interactive is judged on latency and on how steady it is, not on peak throughput. From Frankfurt a player or caller in the region sees 4–14 ms across DACH, and the number that matters most is how little it varies. Give a game or voice server dedicated cores (a KVM plan reserves them) and at least 4 GB of RAM, such as VPS 1C-4G at $34.99 a month. Run it close to the people using it: a few hundred kilometres more distance costs more than a faster CPU saves.
