Questions about Mexico City
The two answers people actually ask about this site, then the five we give everywhere.
This site
Mexico City or a US site for Mexican users?
A 5 ms local median beats 31 ms to Dallas or 35 to Miami for every Mexican user you have, and Mexican data under Mexican law is the bonus. Choose the US sites when your users are on the other side of the border or your jurisdiction requirements point north; choose Mexico City for the country itself — the price is the same either way.
Why is Mexico City marked low stock?
Demand from a country that was never offered a local rack at this price: 0.24 Tbit/s sells faster than racks arrive, the same story Zurich and Dublin tell. Deploys still take fifty-five seconds while the site lasts, and the order page shows the real stock before checkout. We would rather run a site dry than oversell it.
Everywhere
Which region should I pick?
Measure, then read. Median RTT decides most cases: pick the site closest to the users you already have, then check the local law if that matters to your data. We do not charge a regional premium, so the decision is never financial.
Is the price the same in every location?
Yes. A Nano costs €1.90 per month in Frankfurt and in São Paulo. There is no regional pricing tier, no 'emerging market' discount and no 'premium location' markup to optimise around.
Can I move a server to another site later?
Take a snapshot, deploy the same image at the destination, restore, update the DNS. The console does not yet automate the migration end-to-end, but nothing about the price changes if you redeploy somewhere else.
Is DDoS protection included?
Standard volumetric filtering is always on and always free at every site. If you need application-layer scrubbing with custom rules, the Advanced tier costs €3.90 per month per server.
What IP addresses do I get?
Every server ships with one dedicated IPv4 and a routed /64 of IPv6, both announced from the site you chose. Additional IPv4s are €1.20 per month each, up to eight per server.
Payments from Mexico
Orders from Mexico are handled exactly like every other order: checkout in euros, payment in Bitcoin, Monero or any of twenty-four assets, and the server provisions on the first network confirmation. No card, no bank, no name that has to match one.
