USA Dedicated Servers — 7 cities, coast to coast
Bare-metal hosting across all four mainland US time zones: Seattle and Los Angeles on the West Coast, Phoenix in the Southwest, Dallas and Chicago in the Central US, Miami and New York on the East Coast. Pick by audience reach (LATAM via Miami, APAC via Los Angeles/Seattle, Europe via New York), by industry vertical (fintech via New York/Chicago, entertainment via Los Angeles, energy via Dallas, disaster recovery via Phoenix), or by internet-exchange presence (NAP of the Americas in Miami, CME Aurora in Chicago, 60 Hudson in New York, the Westin Building in Seattle). Comparison and decision support below — not just a grid of city cards.

Seven United States locations, colour-coded by region (West · Southwest · Central · East). Each card shows the city's distinctive internet-exchange adjacency, audience reach, and best-fit industries — click through for current plan configurations and pricing.
Seattle
Washington · Pacific (PT)Pacific Northwest gateway to Asia. Trans-Pacific cables and the Westin Building Exchange, with Vancouver ~10 ms north and abundant green hydroelectric power.
Los Angeles
California · Pacific (PT)The Pacific Rim gateway. Lowest US-mainland RTT to Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney; entertainment-industry datacenter cluster on the west side of downtown.
Phoenix
Arizona · Mountain (MST)Disaster-resilient Southwest — no earthquakes, hurricanes or floods. West-Coast latency at lower cost: Los Angeles ~15 ms, Las Vegas ~10 ms.
Dallas
Texas · Central (CT)Texas grid resilience, low cooling cost, and a short hop to the Mexico border. Strong audience reach across the southern US and into Central America.
Chicago
Illinois · Central (CT)Central US hub with CME Group adjacency for quant and HFT-adjacent workloads. Lowest combined RTT to both US coasts; one-hop reach to Toronto.
Miami
Florida · Eastern (ET)The LATAM gateway. NAP of the Americas (NOTA) is the primary internet exchange between North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
New York
New York · Eastern (ET)The financial capital and US gateway to Europe. NYSE and NASDAQ matching engines next door in New Jersey; the shortest US routes across the Atlantic.
At-a-glance city comparison
All seven US locations on one row each, side by side. Start with the region / time zone and the audience-reach row — that usually narrows to two candidate cities. Then check internet exchange and industry fit to pick the final one.

Pick by audience, industry, or both
For each common audience-and-workload shape, one specific US city is usually the right pick. The cards below cover the patterns that account for almost every real customer we onboard on the US fleet.
Latin America / Caribbean audience
Customers in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, or the Caribbean. → Miami. NAP of the Americas is the primary North-America-to-LATAM peering exchange — RTT to São Paulo ~115 ms, to Bogotá ~50 ms.
Asia-Pacific audience
Japan, Singapore, Korea, Australia, Hong Kong. → Los Angeles or Seattle. Trans-Pacific submarine cables land on the West Coast; LA gives the lowest mainland-US RTT to APAC, Seattle the shortest path north to Vancouver.
European audience from a US origin
UK, Germany, France, Netherlands customer base served from US infrastructure. → New York. The shortest US routes across the Atlantic — ~75 ms to London, ~85 ms to Frankfurt, over the trans-Atlantic cables.
Financial services / quant trading
Market-data ingestion, broker integrations, low-latency trading. → New York or Chicago. New York sits beside the NYSE/NASDAQ matching engines in New Jersey; Chicago is adjacent to CME Group in Aurora for futures and HFT-adjacent workloads.
Disaster recovery / resilient infrastructure
Off-site backups, hot-standby secondaries, business-continuity sites. → Phoenix. The Southwest has no earthquakes, hurricanes or coastal flooding — the textbook low-risk home for a DR site, with West-Coast latency.
Streaming, video and CDN origin
OTT video, live streaming, music platforms, multi-region CDN origins. → Los Angeles. Entertainment-industry datacenter cluster on the west side of downtown; direct peering with CDN providers and major studios.
Green / sustainable hosting
Teams with sustainability targets or carbon-reporting obligations. → Seattle. Powered by abundant Pacific Northwest hydroelectricity in a naturally cool climate — among the lowest-carbon ways to run compute in the US.
Energy, oil & gas, southern US enterprise
Houston-region petroleum customers, Texas-based enterprise, Mexican-border manufacturing. → Dallas. Texas grid resilience, low cooling-cost economics, and a short hop to the US-Mexico border for cross-border data flows.
Balanced cross-country reach from one origin
SaaS with users on both US coasts and no dominant region. → Chicago. Lowest combined RTT to both coasts — usually within ~50 ms of any US user, and the best US choice for Canadian users (Toronto ~17 ms).
Pacific Northwest / western Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia, the wider Pacific Northwest. → Seattle. Vancouver is ~10 ms away — among the best US locations for serving western Canada without hosting north of the border.
US network reach — by audience region
Approximate round-trip times measured from each US city to major audience regions worldwide. Real-world numbers vary by carrier and time of day; relative ordering is stable. Lower is better.

US compliance landscape — framework by framework
The United States does not have a single federal data-protection law like GDPR. Instead it operates a sector-specific federal framework layered with state-specific privacy laws. KwikServer USA infrastructure (single-tenant hardware, dedicated IP space, IPMI-KVM, no shared resources) is consistent with what every framework on this list expects from a hosting layer — the compliance attestation work itself remains yours.
HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Applies to covered entities and their business associates handling Protected Health Information (PHI). BAA available on request.
PCI DSS
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Required for any entity that stores, processes or transmits cardholder data. Single-tenant hardware satisfies the segregation control out of the box.
SOC 2 (Type I & II)
The de-facto expected attestation for B2B SaaS sold into US enterprise. Voluntary but routinely required by procurement teams. Infrastructure-layer audit support available.
SOX & GLBA
Sarbanes-Oxley (public-company financial reporting) and Gramm-Leach-Bliley (financial-services customer data). New York and Chicago are the natural fits given financial-industry concentration.
FedRAMP
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. Required for cloud services used by federal agencies. Request a separate quote for FedRAMP-authorised configurations and we'll scope it with you.
CCPA / CPRA · VCDPA · CPA · UCPA · CTDPA
State consumer-privacy laws (California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut). Applies based on residency of the data subjects, not the server location. Your responsibility at the application layer.
Multi-region failover patterns within the US
Four patterns we see most often when a customer wants resilience across US locations. Each pairing trades latency, geographic diversity, and audience reach differently — pick the one that matches your recovery objective and where your users are.
True coast-to-coast diversity. Survives any regional event — power, fibre cut, fire, storm. The default pick when uptime obligations are written into your customer contracts. Covers APAC (via LA) and Europe (via New York) audience reach from a single SaaS stack.
Balanced East-of-Mississippi coverage. Low enough RTT for synchronous database replication or HA quorum without a cross-continent latency tax. The financial-services preferred pair: CME-adjacent Chicago primary with a New York standby next to the equity venues.
Cross-country quorum across two completely distinct datacenter ecosystems and two different power grids (Pacific Northwest hydro and ERCOT in Texas). Strong if your customer base is US-wide and you want neither coast to be the single failure point.
The LATAM-focused pair. Miami fronts NAP-of-the-Americas peering, Dallas fronts the Mexican-border transit. Together they cover essentially every LATAM eyeball network with redundant paths if either NAP-Americas or the Texas border peering has an incident.
