When you need a VPS in Singapore
Singapore is the main hosting hub of Southeast Asia. Dozens of submarine cables converge here, large internet exchange points operate, and almost every global cloud and hundreds of small hosts build data centres here. For a project owner based in Europe it's a special location: excellent for some tasks and pointless for others.
Who Singapore is the right choice for
- An audience in Southeast Asia. Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines are many times closer to a Singapore server than to a European one. A store, app or game server for these countries should be hosted here.
- Australia and India. Sydney is usually about 90–100 ms away, India even less. It's a compromise if you need one server for the whole region.
- Services that need an Asian IP: checking search results and ads in different countries, uptime monitoring, working with Asian APIs and platforms.
- A second node of a global project: the main server in Europe, a copy in Singapore for visitors from Asia.
When it's better to choose another country
From Europe, Singapore is far away: traffic usually travels along submarine cables around India. For a site aimed at European visitors, a corporate VPN for everyday work or a remote desktop, that's a noticeable delay, and a European server will do better. If you need Asia but closer to China, Korea or Japan, compare with VPS in Hong Kong and VPS in Japan: Tokyo and Seoul aren't exactly next door to Singapore either. All Asian locations are collected on the VPS in Asia page.
There's also the reverse case: the project serves Europe, but some customers live in Asia. Then it's wiser to keep the main server close to the majority and add a caching node or CDN for Asian visitors than to move everything to Singapore.
What to look for in a plan
- Traffic. Backbone links in Asia are more expensive than in Europe, so many Singapore plans come with a traffic cap rather than unlimited traffic. Estimate your volume in advance and check the overage price.
- Price. Electricity and space are expensive here, and the same configuration usually costs more than in the Netherlands or Germany. Sorting by price in the table above will quickly show where the difference is smallest.
- Routing. The path to neighbouring countries differs from host to host. If the ping to a specific country matters, check the test IP or looking glass.
- Rules. Singapore's laws are strict, and hosts react quickly to spam and complaints. Personal data is governed by the local PDPA law.
Payment
Singapore hosts mostly take cards, and a noticeable share also accept cryptocurrency. The "Payment" column in the table shows all methods for each plan. We show prices in your currency and take the data from the hosts' own websites.
