Why Johannesburg
Johannesburg is inland, and it is still the right place to terminate African traffic: reach on this continent follows the exchange points, not the coastline. JNB1 is an edge site with a deliberately short configuration list, aimed at serving Southern African users from the point where the continent's networks interconnect.
How Johannesburg is connected
NAPAfrica is the continent's largest exchange by participants and traffic, and peering across it is settlement-free, which keeps the cost of African delivery down. JINX adds the older domestic networks. International capacity is backhauled inland: a few hundred kilometres from the KwaZulu-Natal coast where EASSy lands, and well over a thousand from the Western Cape stations taking WACS, SAT-3 and Equiano.
What JNB1 is good at
- 01Southern African user-facing services
- 02Continental peering from one site
- 03Edge presence for African expansion

FAQ
Questions about Johannesburg
Yes. VPN and proxy endpoints are one of the most common workloads in every CrestVPS location, Johannesburg included, and nothing in the acceptable use policy restricts them. Tor middle relays and bridges are allowed everywhere; exit nodes are limited to Amsterdam, Reykjavik and Bucharest.
Yes, and in eight other assets across dozens of networks, settled through OxaPay. Card payment is not offered anywhere, which is what keeps signup down to an email address.
GPU availability is listed in the specification block at the top of this page. Where JNB1 carries them, the FUSION family passes an entire physical card through over PCIe Gen5 rather than slicing it, so the device you see is the device you have.
No. Registration in every location, Johannesburg included, is an email address and a password. We do not ask for identity documents, a phone number or a card anywhere in our footprint.
It depends what you are serving. JNB1 peers at NAPAfrica JB, JINX, which sets how directly it reaches the networks your users sit on. The latency table above is measured, not modelled: read the row for the hub closest to your audience and decide from that rather than from the map.
The JNB1 point of presence peers at NAPAfrica JB, JINX and carries 980 Gbps of aggregate transit. Every node uplinks at 1 x 10 Gbps, filtered inline by 800 Gbps of scrubbing capacity.
