Why Paris

Paris is where the French networks actually meet, so an instance here reaches Orange, Free, SFR and Bouygues subscribers without detouring through Frankfurt or Amsterdam. PAR1 is a site CrestVPS builds out itself, which is why the configuration list runs long here.

How Paris is connected

Peering at France-IX and the Equinix Paris fabric puts PAR1 in front of the domestic ISPs in a single place. Transit is competitive here, and the Telehouse and Interxion campuses in the north-east of the city concentrate most of the carriers. Subsea capacity reaches Paris over dense terrestrial backhaul from Marseille.

What PAR1 is good at

  • 01Serving French eyeball networks directly
  • 02EU residency without German transit
  • 03Backhaul onto Marseille subsea routes
Hosting under France lawThe 2004 statute separates hosts from publishers: liability attaches only once a properly formed notification has been received and ignored. France also has an established judicial route for blocking orders, so demands normally arrive with a court behind them rather than as private correspondence.
