Netcup data centers: 5 locations overview

Nuremberg, Vienna, Amsterdam, Manassas and Singapore: official test IPs, regional fit and the matching plan.

Locations

The five locations

Netcup operates data centers in Nuremberg, Vienna, Amsterdam, Manassas (Virginia) and Singapore. For DACH projects, Nuremberg and Vienna are usually the first choices; Amsterdam is a strong EU hub, Manassas serves US-East and Singapore covers APAC.

  • Nuremberg (DE): EU flagship, low latency to DACH.
  • Vienna (AT): CEE/VIX hub, 20% VAT for Austrian customers.
  • Amsterdam (NL): AMS-IX, Western Europe.
  • Manassas (US): US-East for North American users.
  • Singapore (SG): APAC, higher latency to Europe.

How we measure

We use the official Netcup test IPs and the server-side ICMP probe from Nuremberg. This is not a browser measurement: ICMP is not reliably available from a visitor browser, and the official Looking Glass endpoints do not send CORS headers.

Which location fits?

Choose by users, not by gut feeling: DACH → Nuremberg/Vienna, Western Europe → Amsterdam, US-East → Manassas, APAC → Singapore. Verify latency with the test IP and your own line.

Frequently asked questions

Are the test IPs official?

Yes, the IPs come from official Netcup Looking Glass/routing data and were last verified on 25 October 2026. Check the current IP before measuring.

Why not ping directly from the browser?

Browsers cannot send ICMP. An HTTP ping to an arbitrary port is not a clean latency measurement. We use a server-side ICMP probe and link the official Looking Glass instead.

Which location for DACH?

For Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Nuremberg and Vienna are usually closest. Vienna is especially relevant for Austrian and CEE users.
