Dallas VPS — Central US Node for UK-Based Teams

If your users are spread across the country, Dallas typically delivers the lowest maximum latency compared to a coastal data centre.

If your audience is concentrated on the East Coast, New York will give you lower local latency. For Asia-Pacific traffic, Los Angeles is the better pick. For coast-to-coast from one node, Dallas is the most balanced option.

Transatlantic latency from London to Dallas is typically 100-120 ms. That's higher than a London-based server, so Dallas isn't the right pick if your end users are primarily in the UK — for that, consider our UK VPS.

Where Dallas makes sense for UK teams: serving a US-wide audience from a single node, meeting US compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2), or running a US-facing SaaS backend. You manage it from London; your American users get sub-40 ms response times coast to coast.

A Los Angeles VPS is closest to the West Coast and Asia-Pacific. If you're serving users in California, running Pacific-facing media workloads, or need the shortest path to Tokyo, Sydney, or Singapore, LA is the right pick. The data centre there is a Digital Realty facility.

A Dallas VPS sits near the centre of the US, which means roughly symmetrical latency to both coasts. If your audience is spread across the country rather than concentrated on one side, Dallas gives you the lowest worst-case round-trip from any single location. It also routes faster to Mexico and Central America than LA does. The Evocative data centre in Dallas carries HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 Type II certifications — relevant if your project handles healthcare or payment data.

Yes. Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, and 2022 editions are available. The OS licence adds $20/mo to your Dallas Windows VPS plan. Linux VPS in Dallas comes with no additional OS cost.

Yes, when selecting the Dallas location in the configurator, you can choose the processor type: AMD or Intel. If you select AMD, an NVMe drive will be available.

Yes, that's how is*hosting is built. Provision servers in Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Tampa from the same account. Each VPS, even the cheapest Dallas VPS, gets its own dedicated IP, isolated resources, and full root access.

Every VPS plan includes a dedicated IP address. If you need additional IPs on a single VPS server — for example, to run multiple SSL-enabled sites or isolate services — you can order up to 256 extra dedicated IPv4 addresses for that server.

You can increase CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth on your existing server at any time. No migration to a new instance. If your project outgrows a single VPS, spin up additional servers in Dallas or other US regions within minutes.

We process most orders within 5-15 minutes of receiving payment confirmation. You will then receive your server IP address, login details, and connection instructions via email.
