Why Zurich

Jurisdiction, not price, is the argument for Zurich. Switzerland sits outside the EU, CrestVPS holds its own cage on site, and ZRH carries flagship capacity with a full hardware list.

How Zurich is connected

Switzerland is landlocked, so every path in and out is terrestrial: dense, well-lit fibre north to Frankfurt, south through the Alps to Milan, and west towards Marseille where the Mediterranean systems come ashore. CrestVPS peers at SwissIX and the Equinix fabric in Zurich, which puts Swiss eyeball networks and the SWITCH research backbone a single hop away.

What ZRH1 is good at

  • 01Long-lived infrastructure under Swiss law
  • 02Latency-sensitive Central European workloads
  • 03Encrypted storage and backup targets
Hosting under Switzerland lawData requests move through Swiss courts, and European production instruments do not reach a Zurich server on their own authority. The federal statute was overhauled in 2023, tightening breach notification and record-keeping duties, with the Commissioner in Bern supervising compliance.
