SITE DOSSIER · SYD1

Why Sydney?

Sydney, live since 2025, is in SYD1 in Alexandria, the inner-south suburb whose warehouses became the city's technology district. We joined Equinix Sydney with Arelion and NTT, and the first test instance answered Melbourne at 9 ms — the fleet's first intra-Australia number, and the moment it became obvious the country would need two racks, not one.

The site carries 0.42 Tbit/s of edge capacity at a 3 ms local median, with 71 ms to Singapore, 78 to Tokyo and 118 to Los Angeles. It is the Pacific's last port of call: the site from which Australian users get a domestic rack and the region's southern routes get their anchor, at the same flat price as everywhere else.

Q&A · VER. 4.2

Questions about Sydney

The two answers people actually ask about this site, then the five we give everywhere.

This site

Sydney or Melbourne for Australia?
Nine milliseconds apart, so start with your users. Sydney is the larger site — 0.42 Tbit/s on Equinix Sydney against Melbourne's 0.24 — and the one where most of the country's international cables land: 71 ms to Singapore against Melbourne's 74. If your users cluster in Victoria, or you want a second Australian grid and IX for redundancy, Melbourne is the site; otherwise Sydney is the default.
Sydney or Singapore for users in Australia and the Pacific?
If your users are Australian, Sydney: Singapore is 71 ms away from those users, and no amount of regional fabric makes an island nation feel local from another island. Singapore remains the hub for southeast Asia itself — 24 ms to Hong Kong and 71 to Sydney — and the honest split is to serve Australia from Sydney and the region from Singapore, at the same price for both racks.

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 Australia

Orders from Australia 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.

Two decisions, then a network

Pick a size, pick a site, pay in crypto. Moving later is one snapshot and a redeploy away.
