Start with Dallas for a US audience and Amsterdam for a Western European audience, then compare the routes your users actually take. Both location pages publish the same six VPS plans, but current stock depends on the selected plan and region.
Choose for your users. Geography helps you shortlist a region; it does not establish which route will perform better.
Published prices match. Both location pages list plans from $5.99/month in USD. A listing does not reserve capacity.
Test before moving traffic. Compare both regions using the looking glass, then validate your application on the new instance.
Keep location claims narrow. A VPS region identifies the server location; it does not establish where every supporting service stores data.
Choosing between a Dallas VPS and an Amsterdam VPS starts with the people and services connecting to it. A website serving US customers and an API used mainly in Western Europe have different routes to evaluate. Compare those routes before choosing resources or moving an application.
Start with your audience and dependencies
Dallas, in Texas, is a starting point for a US audience. Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, is a starting point for a Western European audience. Neither location is automatically faster for everyone in its surrounding region.
Include the connections your application makes, too. If each request waits for a database or another API, test that path as well as the connection between a visitor and your VPS. Moving the web server closer to visitors can leave a slow dependency in the request path.
For a mixed audience, identify the requests that matter most: an interactive dashboard, a file download and a background job have different priorities. Use representative connections to compare each candidate against those priorities.
Compare the published plans, then check stock
The Dallas plan table and Amsterdam plan table list the following monthly prices in USD, checked on 14 November 2026.
| Plan | vCPU | Memory | SSD | Port speed | Monthly USD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flare | 1 | 2 GB | 25 GB | 100 Mbps | $5.99 |
| Orbit | 2 | 4 GB | 50 GB | 250 Mbps | $7.99 |
| Comet | 4 | 8 GB | 100 GB | 500 Mbps | $15.99 |
| Pulsar | 6 | 16 GB | 200 GB | 1 Gbps | $27.99 |
| Quasar | 8 | 32 GB | 400 GB | 1 Gbps | $49.99 |
| Nebula | 12 | 64 GB | 800 GB | 1 Gbps | $89.99 |
The published inclusions also match: dedicated IPv4, always-on DDoS protection, automated backups with seven-day retention, up to seven free snapshots and a browser console. Unmetered transfer has no per-GB charge; the plan's port speed and acceptable use policy apply.
Matching tables do not mean matching availability. Check the selected plan and region in checkout. Choose memory, CPU and storage for the workload, and confirm that the port speed fits the traffic you expect.
Keep server location separate from other data flows
Dallas is the US server region in this comparison; Amsterdam is the Netherlands server region. That distinction describes where the VPS is located. It does not establish the location of every backup, external API, analytics service or other system your application uses.
If location is a requirement for your deployment, confirm the scope of that requirement and the relevant service details before ordering. This comparison does not assess legal compliance.
Compare both routes before ordering
Use the looking glass from connections representative of your audience. It provides browser latency measurements, regional ping, traceroute and MTR tools, and download tests. Regional diagnostic tools test outward from the selected region; that is a different direction from a user's download.
- Compare Dallas and Amsterdam from a connection your users commonly use.
- Run equivalent tests for both regions and record the connection and time alongside the results.
- Repeat from another relevant network if your audience is spread out. Compare with your current host where possible.
- Use the results to shortlist a region, then test real application requests on a new instance before moving traffic.
A port speed is not a guaranteed download speed to every visitor. This guide reports no latency measurements and makes no claim that either region is universally faster.
Validate a new deployment before switching DNS
Plan a region change as a new deployment. Restore the application on the new instance while the existing service remains available. Verify a real request path, access controls, monitoring and any dependency connections before switching DNS.
For applications that accept writes, plan how to keep data consistent during the change. A working home page does not establish that new orders, uploads or background jobs are reaching the right database. Keep a rollback path and retain the old instance until you have checked the new deployment under real traffic.
Common questions
Is Dallas or Amsterdam faster? It depends on the connections involved. Compare both regions from your audience's networks, then validate the application itself before choosing.
Are plans and prices the same in both regions? The published location pages list the same six plans and monthly USD prices as of 14 November 2026. Stock must be checked separately for the selected plan and region in checkout.
Does an Amsterdam VPS establish where all my application data stays? It identifies the VPS server region as Amsterdam, Netherlands. Other services your application uses need their own location checks.
Is transfer unmetered in both regions? Both location pages list unmetered transfer with no per-GB charge, subject to the plan's port speed and acceptable use policy.
How should I prepare to move regions? Deploy a new instance, restore and test the application, plan data synchronisation if it accepts writes, and switch DNS after validation. Keep a rollback path until the new deployment is verified.
