Why builders pick eu-fra-1
Short paths, steady routes.
The four things buyers actually compare us on, done right.
Inside the DE-CIX fabric
Frankfurt carries more interconnection than anywhere else in Continental Europe. eu-fra-1 peers into it directly, so your traffic hands off at the exchange instead of crossing extra transit hops.
14-day money-back
Risk-free trial on every plan. No questions asked. No setup fees. Cancel anytime from the dashboard.
AMD EPYC + pure NVMe
Latest-gen AMD EPYC, DDR5 memory, NVMe-only storage, 40 Gbps uplinks. KVM with online hotplug, so RAM, vCPU, and disk resize live. 99.95% uptime SLA, tracked publicly at status.cloudzy.com.
Real humans on support
Live chat and ticket replies typically under 5 minutes. Engineers, not script-readers. Median resolution under 1 hour.
The region itself
Europe's densest
interconnection point.
More networks meet in Frankfurt than anywhere else in Continental Europe. eu-fra-1 sits inside that fabric rather than reaching it over transit, so paths to European eyeball networks are short and, more importantly, stable. Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam, and Prague are all within roughly 400 km; Berlin, Paris, Milan, and Vienna within about 600 km.

Use cases
What builders run
in Frankfurt.
Banking & finance
Run trading bots, banking APIs, and webhooks from eu-fra-1, close to Frankfurt's financial corridor. Dedicated IPv4 keeps your whitelist stable.
Single-origin EU deployments
If your users are spread across Europe and you only want to run one origin, Frankfurt is the shortest average path. Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam, and Prague all sit within roughly 400 km.
Containers & k8s
Run Docker, k3s, microk8s, or your own k8s cluster in eu-fra-1. Pre-installed CUDA images on GPU plans for AI inference.
VPN and proxy exits
A dedicated static IPv4 on a well-peered exchange, not a shared cloud exit. Useful when you need a stable, clean German endpoint that routes predictably.
Multi-region EU origin
Keep the origin and database in eu-fra-1 and clone snapshots out to Amsterdam, London, or Bern for regional replicas. Free snapshots, fresh IP per region.

FAQ. Frankfurt VPS
Common questions, straight answers.
Where is the Frankfurt VPS data center?
Cloudzy runs the eu-fra-1 region in the Frankfurt metropolitan area. Frankfurt is the densest network location in Continental Europe, home to DE-CIX, and eu-fra-1 sits inside that peering fabric rather than reaching it over transit.
What does DE-CIX peering actually buy me?
Shorter, more predictable paths. DE-CIX is one of the largest internet exchanges in the world by traffic, and most European ISPs, carriers, and content networks are present on it. Traffic that would otherwise cross two or three transit providers to reach your users often hands off in a single exchange, which cuts both median latency and jitter.
Why pick Frankfurt over Amsterdam, London, or Bern?
Frankfurt is the strongest origin for Central and Eastern Europe. It sits roughly 300 to 600 km from Munich, Zurich, Berlin, Prague, and Vienna, so round-trips across the DACH and CEE corridor stay short. Amsterdam (eu-ams-1) is the better pick for Benelux, the UK, and Nordic routes, London (eu-lon-1) for UK-only audiences, and Bern (eu-brn-1) when you specifically want non-EU Swiss jurisdiction.
How far does eu-fra-1 reach across Europe?
Frankfurt is close to the geographic and network centre of the EU, which makes it the best single-region compromise if your users are spread across the continent. Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam, and Prague are all within about 400 km; Berlin, Paris, Milan, and Vienna within about 600 km. If your audience is concentrated in one corner of Europe, deploy in the region nearest to it instead.
Is this a good fit for German finance and banking?
Yes. Frankfurt is the financial centre of Continental Europe, and the same peering density that serves the exchanges serves eu-fra-1. AMD EPYC single-thread leadership and 40 Gbps uplinks keep tail latency tight, and a dedicated static IPv4 keeps broker and API whitelists stable.
What hardware runs in eu-fra-1?
AMD EPYC processors with DDR5 memory, NVMe-only storage, and 40 Gbps uplinks, the same chassis we run in every region. Virtualization is KVM with full root and online resource hotplug, so RAM, vCPU, and storage resize live without a rebuild.
Do I get a German IPv4 from this region?
Yes, every VPS in eu-fra-1 includes a dedicated static IPv4 plus IPv6 from the region's own pool, geolocating to Germany. No shared NAT and no neighbor reputation issues. You can also reserve Floating IPs for failover or blue/green deploys.
Can I run a multi-region setup with Frankfurt as the EU origin?
That is the common pattern. Keep your origin and database in eu-fra-1, then snapshot and clone into any of our other 12 regions for read replicas or regional edges. Snapshots are free and each clone gets a fresh IP from its own region's pool.
How fast is provisioning for a Frankfurt VPS?
Once payment is confirmed, your VPS is live in 60 seconds. You get the IP, root or admin password, and connection details by email within seconds, open SSH or RDP and you're in.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, full refund. Deploy in eu-fra-1, run your own latency tests from your users' networks, and refund from the panel if the routing doesn't suit you.
