- Tihost VPS are available in three countries - Germany (Falkenstein), Finland (Helsinki) and Poland (Warsaw); all three sites are Tier III data centers.
- In Germany and Finland, Tihost VPS run on the same hardware - the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with a 1 Gbps network - and cost the same, from $4.00 a month.
- Tihost's Polish location offers the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5, DDR5), up to 10 Gbps and configurations up to 16 vCPU / 32 GB, but costs about 25% more: from $5.00 a month.
- The main criterion for a VPS country is proximity to your audience: Germany for Western and Central Europe, Finland for Scandinavia, Estonia and St. Petersburg, Poland for Eastern Europe.
- Real latency to a VPS in a given country is shown by
pingandmtrmeasurements from your side - more accurately than distance on a map.
Three locations in one table
| Germany | Finland | Poland | |
|---|---|---|---|
| City | Falkenstein | Helsinki | Warsaw |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | AMD Ryzen 9 9950X |
| Architecture and memory | Zen 3, DDR4 | Zen 3, DDR4 | Zen 5, DDR5 |
| Network | 1 Gbps | 1 Gbps | up to 10 Gbps |
| Price from | $4.00 / mo | $4.00 / mo | $5.00 / mo |
| Largest configuration | 12 vCPU / 24 GB | 12 vCPU / 24 GB | 16 vCPU / 32 GB |
| Highlight | Tier III, ISO 27001 | Tier III, 100% green energy | Tier III, newest hardware |
The terms are the same in all three countries: KVM and root access, NVMe SSD, DDoS protection, the same OS list, management from the panel and the Telegram bot, and a 99.9% SLA.
Rule one: put the server close to your users
Network latency grows with distance, so the main criterion is where your audience - or the services your server talks to - are.
- Western and Central Europe (Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland) - Germany.
- Scandinavia, Estonia, St. Petersburg - Finland.
- Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe - Poland.
- Worldwide or location-agnostic (a personal VPN, bots, background jobs) - the cheapest suitable one: Germany or Finland.
If latency is critical, measure it for real: a server is deployed in about 2 minutes, and ping and mtr from your side tell you more than any map. Daily availability of each site is on the network status page.
Rule two: do you need maximum performance
If your service is bound by single-core speed (game servers, single-threaded APIs), memory bandwidth (databases, analytics) or the network (file distribution, media), pick Poland: the Zen 5 Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 and up to 10 Gbps. For typical websites, bots and VPNs you probably won't notice the speed difference - but you will notice the 25% saving in Germany and Finland. The CPUs are compared in AMD Ryzen 9 5950X vs 9950X.
Rule three: is the configuration big enough
Germany and Finland offer eight configurations up to 12 vCPU / 24 GB. If you need 16 vCPU and 32 GB of memory on one server, that is Poland only - $77.50 per month.
Can I run servers in several countries
Yes. Servers in different locations live on one account and show up in one panel and one bot. That makes redundancy easy: for example, the primary server in Germany and a standby copy in Finland, so a problem at one site does not stop the project. How to set up such copies is covered in the VPS backup guide.
