GoZen Datacenter Locations
Where GoZen Host servers are located, how to pick the right datacenter, and what it means for performance.
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.
Available Locations
United States
| Location | Region | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Ashburn, VA | US East | East Coast US, general North America |
| Manassas, VA | US East | East Coast US, government/enterprise |
| New York, NY | US East | Financial sector, Northeast US |
| Kansas City, MO | US Central | Central US, balanced latency coast-to-coast |
| San Francisco, CA | US West | West Coast US, Asia-Pacific visitors |
Europe
| Location | Region | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| London, UK | Western Europe | UK audience, Western Europe |
| Amsterdam, NL | Western Europe | Netherlands, Benelux, Northern Europe |
| Munich, DE | Central Europe | Germany, DACH region, Central Europe |
| Vilnius, LT | Eastern Europe | Baltic states, Eastern Europe |

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.
Latency by Region
| Your Audience | Recommended Location | Expected Latency |
|---|---|---|
| US East Coast | Ashburn, VA | < 20ms |
| US West Coast | San Francisco | < 20ms |
| US nationwide | Kansas City | < 50ms to either coast |
| UK / Ireland | London | < 10ms |
| Germany / Austria / Switzerland | Munich | < 15ms |
| Netherlands / Belgium | Amsterdam | < 10ms |
| Greece / Cyprus | Athens or Nicosia | < 15ms |
| Global audience | Any location + CDN | Varies |
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:
- Log into the GoZen client area
- Go to Services > My Services
- Click on your plan
- 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.
- Shared hosting: contact support to request a location change
- VPS: order a new VPS in the desired location, request a free migration, then cancel the old one
There’s no downtime during the migration if you follow the zero-downtime process.
