Use latency evidence

Country labels are shortcuts. Ask for a test IP or looking-glass endpoint, measure from the networks used by your customers, and compare peak-hour results. For dynamic applications, database and application time can matter more than a small network difference.

Jurisdiction and data handling

Document where personal data, backups and logs are stored. Review the provider’s agreement and privacy terms for your own compliance needs. A European data center does not automatically make an application compliant; configuration and business process still matter.

Operations checklist

  • Confirm current location availability and exact data center.
  • Record backup location and restoration process.
  • Check IPv4, IPv6 and traffic limits.
  • Test support hours and escalation path.
  • Measure from real users before committing a long term.
