Switzerland (Schweiz) sits at the center of Europe with excellent connectivity. A Zurich-hosted Minecraft server gives under 10ms ping locally and under 30ms to Germany, Austria, and France.

| Location | Ping | |----------|------| | Zurich, CH | Under 5ms | | Frankfurt, DE | 8 to 15ms | | Vienna, AT | 15 to 25ms | | Paris, FR | 15 to 20ms | | Amsterdam, NL | 15 to 25ms | | Milan, IT | 10 to 20ms | | London, UK | 20 to 30ms |
Why Zurich
Zurich is one of Europe's premier data center locations:
- Multiple Tier-3 and Tier-4 data centers
- Excellent EU peering
- Swiss privacy laws (if that matters for your data)
- Stable power infrastructure
- Sub-20ms to most of Central Europe
DACH Region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
A Zurich server serves the entire DACH region with excellent ping:
- All of Switzerland: under 10ms
- Germany: 8 to 25ms
- Austria: 15 to 25ms
For a German-speaking Minecraft community, Zurich or Frankfurt are equally good. Zurich provides slightly lower ping to Swiss and Austrian players.
Swiss vs German Hosting
| Feature | Switzerland | Germany (Frankfurt) | |---------|------------|-------------------| | Ping to CH | Under 5ms | 8 to 15ms | | Ping to DE | 8 to 15ms | Under 5ms | | Ping to AT | 15 to 25ms | 10 to 20ms | | Price | Higher | Lower | | Privacy | Swiss law | EU/German law |
