NETWORK

Network Facts for the US West Node

This node primarily serves users in North America West Coast, with the data center connected via multi-carrier BGP peering. The average round-trip latency to North America West Coast is 25~35ms — at this level, dragging windows or scrolling through code in a VNC session feels virtually lag-free, SSH keystrokes echo with no perceptible delay, and git push, dependency downloads, and TestFlight uploads all run through the data center's own uplink instead of your local connection.

Latency methodology: 25~35ms is the average ICMP round-trip time to major cities in North America West Coast; actual figures will vary depending on your ISP and connection type.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the US West Node

How soon is my machine at the US West node ready after I order?
Once payment is confirmed, the system automatically allocates and initializes your machine — delivery usually takes about 10 minutes, and no more than 24 hours even at peak, with billing starting from the actual delivery time. If you’d like a different node after setup, you can request a free migration; you can also pick a neighboring plan at the same node and upgrade or downgrade later with a prorated adjustment for the remaining days.
Can I switch to a different node after renting at US West?
Yes. Submit a ticket in the portal to schedule a cross-node migration, and our support team will help move your data at no charge. Your remaining rental period is prorated by day and carried over to the new node with no extra cost. We'd recommend testing latency with the target node's test IP first to confirm it's actually a better fit for your location than US West, so you don't end up migrating back and forth.
Does the US West node give me a dedicated IP? Are there port restrictions?
Every Mac mini gets its own dedicated IPv4 address — never shared with other customers. VNC (5900) and SSH (22) are open by default, and you can configure firewall rules for other ports yourself in the control panel. With full admin access, you're free to change port numbers, install fail2ban, tunnel VNC over SSH, or apply any other hardening you like. Bandwidth is unmetered under a fair-use policy.
