Madrid has quietly become one of the better places in Europe to run a server, and our zone there has been filling up since it opened in March. So we've added more capacity. If you wanted a VPS in Spain and found your plan running tight, there's room again, and it's worth a minute on why Madrid is a strong choice for hosting in the first place.
More VPS capacity in Madrid, Spain
The short version: our Spain zone grew faster than we planned for, which is a good problem right until the popular configs sell out. We've brought more AMD EPYC capacity online at the facility, so provisioning in Madrid is instant again across the board. It's one of nine zones we run across Europe and the US, and a good share of what's deployed there is real production traffic.
Why Madrid is a strong location for VPS hosting
Location matters more for a server than people tend to give it credit for, and Madrid's edge is connectivity. Over the past few years the city has become the interconnection heart of the Iberian Peninsula.
A DE-CIX study put the number of networks connected in Madrid up 438% between 2016 and 2024, from 80 to 431. That kind of density keeps traffic local and latency low, instead of hauling packets up to Frankfurt or Paris and back.
A direct line to Latin America
Here's the part a lot of people miss. Madrid sits on EllaLink, the subsea system that runs from the Iberian Peninsula straight across the South Atlantic to Brazil, 72 Tbps of capacity on it. If any of your users are in Latin America, or your traffic bounces between Europe and Brazil, serving it from Madrid shaves a real chunk off the round trip compared with routing through northern Europe. Spain has spent years building itself into the bridge between the two continents, and for a hosting decision that bridge turns out to be genuinely useful.
Peering and low latency across Iberia
Closer to home, the Madrid zone peers at ESpanix, Spain's national exchange, which has been running above 2 Tbps at peak, with DE-CIX Madrid alongside it. For your users in Spain and Portugal that means short, direct paths rather than a detour through another country. For someone loading your site in Valencia or Porto, it shows up as pages that appear right away instead of lagging half a second behind.
Spain's growing data center market
None of this is a fluke, and Madrid isn't some quiet backwater you'd be taking a risk on. Spain's data-center capacity grew 24% in 2025 to around 439 MW, with roughly 66.9 billion euros of projects lined up through 2030, according to the country's data-center association. A lot of it runs on Spanish solar and wind, which is part of why the big cloud names keep planting flags in and around the city. You're deploying into a market that's investing heavily in itself.
Inside the Madrid data center
Our Madrid zone runs inside IaaS Datacenter Madrid, a Tier III carrier-neutral facility in the San Blas-Canillejas district on Calle Maratón. It's a newer build with the redundant power and cooling you'd want from a Tier III site. The AMD EPYC hardware we run there is our own, so the performance and the pricing match the rest of our network.
Compliance and certifications
The facility carries ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad), the Spanish national security scheme that regulated and public-sector projects in Spain routinely have to meet. Pair that with our 99.99% uptime target and Madrid is a location you can put production on with confidence.
Data residency in Spain
If you have to keep data inside the country, a Madrid VPS keeps it in Spain by default. That question comes up more every year as EU data-protection rules tighten and clients start asking where their data physically lives. With Madrid, you can give them a straight answer.
What you get on a Madrid VPS
The spec sheet in Madrid matches the rest of the network, because we run our own gear in each zone. Every Instant VPS is AMD EPYC with NVMe SSD storage and full root access on KVM, the same stack you'd run in any of our other locations.
- Instant provisioning. Pick Madrid at checkout and the server boots in seconds.
- Unmetered bandwidth. Move as much traffic as your project needs over a 1 Gbps port, with no overage on the invoice.
- No setup fees. You pay for the plan and nothing extra to switch it on.
- 30-day money-back. Deploy your first server, test latency from where your users actually sit and decide from there.
You can spin up an Instant VPS in Madrid today, and we'll keep adding to what's available in Spain as the zone grows.
How to deploy a VPS in Madrid
It's the same flow as any other zone. Pick your config, set the location to Madrid, Spain and check out. The server comes online in seconds with a fresh OS template ready to go, Ubuntu through Windows Server and most things in between. If you'd rather read the location details first, the Spain VPS hosting page lays out the specs and the network, and you can see how Madrid sits next to the rest on our data center locations page.
If you've been serving Spanish or Latin American users from a box somewhere up north out of habit, Madrid is worth a quick test. Spin one up, run a few pings from Madrid, Lisbon and São Paulo and watch the numbers drop. That's the whole reason we put more capacity here.
