Speed up your local checkout process to increase sales, even during traffic spikes. Deploy your website on a Local Zone VPS to achieve sub-100ms load times, crucial for delivering a smooth user experience during local sales and events.

Your questions answered
What is a Local Zone?
Local Zones are regional extensions of cloud infrastructure that bring compute and storage resources physically closer to users, allowing applications to operate with significantly reduced latency.
Which Local Zones support VPS-1?
VPS-1 is deployed in all Local Zones. You can view our Local Zone map here.
Which features are not available on a Local Zone VPS?

- Additional IPs
- Load Balancer
- Managed databases and advanced monitoring
If you need these features, consider choosing one of our other VPS plans.
What are the risks of running a VPS without anti-DDoS protection?
A VPS without anti-DDoS protection is automatically unprotected from this type of attack. That could mean:
- exposure to DDoS attacks, where an attack floods your server with malicious traffic, slowing or completely disrupting your service;
- attacks are not mitigated without intervention. Unlike standard VPS solutions, which feature anti-DDoS protection by default, you will need to manage potential attacks yourself using third-party solutions or specific configurations;
- potential impact on service availability. Lack of built-in protection leaves your VPS open to attacks that could harm connectivity, performance, applications, and users.
