GoZen Host operates servers across multiple datacenters in the United States and Europe. Your server location affects latency for your visitors, so pick the datacenter closest to your target audience.

How to Choose

Rule of thumb: pick the location closest to your visitors.

If your audience is in Germany, pick Munich. If they’re in the US, pick Ashburn or Kansas City. If they’re global, pick a central location (Kansas City for US-centric, Amsterdam for Europe-centric) and add a CDN.

Using a CDN

If your visitors are spread across multiple continents, server location matters less. A CDN (like Cloudflare, free tier) caches your static content at edge servers worldwide. Your origin server handles dynamic requests, and the CDN handles everything else.

With a CDN:

  • Pick the datacenter closest to you (for admin/SSH latency)
  • The CDN ensures visitors everywhere get fast static content delivery
  • Dynamic content (wp-admin, WooCommerce cart) still goes to the origin

Checking Your Current Location

Shared Hosting

Your server location was set when your account was provisioned. To check:

  1. Log into the GoZen client area
  2. Go to Services > My Services
  3. Click on your plan
  4. The server location is listed in the service details

VPS

VPS location is chosen during ordering. You can see it in the client area under your VPS service details.

Can I Change Locations?

Changing your server’s datacenter requires a migration. Your data is moved to a server in the new location.

There’s no downtime during the migration if you follow the zero-downtime process.
