Why choose Costa Rica
North America for the largest markets, and South and Central America where routing from the United States genuinely hurts.
What this page does not tell you about Costa Rica
Two things a location page usually asserts and this one will not, because we do not hold the data to back them. Everything above is measured or contractual; everything here is openly missing.
- Latency figures Round-trip time depends on your own network far more than on ours, and a number measured from one place would be wrong for almost everyone reading it. A test IP for this location is available on request through a support ticket — measure it from where your users actually are. Measure it yourself
- The datacenter operator, tier rating and peering We do not publish the facility name, a tier certification or an IX membership list for this location, because we are not in a position to stand behind those claims for every country. What is committed is the plan specification as sold — see the SLA page for exactly what that covers and what it does not. Not published
