The physical distance between your players and your server is the single biggest factor in ping. The closer your server is to the majority of your players, the lower their latency — and the smoother their experience. Sculk Hosting operates bare-metal nodes across seven locations so you can put your server where it matters most.

​
Available locations

All seven locations run on identical hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPUs, DDR5 RAM, NVMe storage, and 10 Gbps uplinks. Regional ping averages approximately 65 ms to players within the same geographic area.

All locations use AMD Ryzen 9 9950X hardware with 10 Gbps uplinks and average approximately 65 ms regional ping for players within the same geographic area.

​
Choosing the right location

Pick the location that is geographically closest to where most of your players are based. A few guidelines:

North American players

Choose New York for US East and Canada East players, or Los Angeles for US West, Mexico, and Canada West.

European players

Choose Frankfurt for Central and Northern Europe, or Paris for Western Europe and the UK.

Asian players

Choose Tokyo for East Asia (Japan, Korea, China), or Singapore for Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Oceanic players

Choose Sydney for Australia and New Zealand players.
Running a community with players spread across multiple continents? Frankfurt and Singapore are geographically central and often produce the best average ping across mixed international audiences.

​
Location is set at order time

You select your server’s location when you place your order. This cannot be changed after your server is provisioned — the server is built on physical hardware in that region and cannot be migrated.
If you need a different location after provisioning, you will need to order a new server in the correct region. Your existing server data can be exported and transferred manually, but the original server will continue billing until you cancel it.
If you’re unsure which location to pick, think about where you and your core player base are located. You can also ask in our Discord community for advice before ordering.
