CPUs, network speed, prices from $4.00, and which country fits websites, VPNs, games and business." url: https://tihost.io/en/blog/vps-location-choice language: en section: "Locations" published: 2026-09-24 updated: 2026-10-05 publisher: Tihost (https://tihost.io) --- # Germany, Finland or Poland: which country to host your VPS in > **In short:** Germany and Finland have the same hardware (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, 1 Gbps) and the same prices from $4.00 per month - choose by where your users are. Poland is newer and faster (Ryzen 9 9950X, up to 10 Gbps, every configuration up to 16 vCPU / 32 GB) but about 25% more expensive. **Key takeaways:** - 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 `ping` and `mtr` measurements 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](https://tihost.io/en/blog/vps-germany-falkenstein). - **Scandinavia, Estonia, St. Petersburg** - [Finland](https://tihost.io/en/blog/vps-finland-helsinki). - **Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe** - [Poland](https://tihost.io/en/blog/vps-poland-warsaw). - **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](https://tihost.io/uptime). ## 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](https://tihost.io/en/blog/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](https://tihost.io/en/blog/vps-backup). **Launch a server in 2 minutes.** AMD Ryzen 9, NVMe and DDoS protection in Germany, Finland and Poland.
