Inside the Vélizy tech campus

DC2Scale PAR3

DC2Scale runs four datacentre sites on the Paris-Vélizy campus, plus rooms in Grenoble, Marseille and Lille. A French operator, French-owned end to end. PAR3 sits inside Inovel Parc, ten kilometres southwest of central Paris. FNC-IX, the France Network Community Internet Exchange, was set up specifically inside the building, so cross-connects to the route servers cost very little and the path stays short.

Eight-plus carriers land in the meet-me room, and Cogent's Global Peer Exchange opens a path into more than 1,300 datacenters worldwide. DWDM links run out to other Paris carrier hotels and onward to Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London. Further fibre runs south to Marseille, where 17 submarine cables land routes into Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Premium server hosting in Paris, France - We're always here to help

Why France is a great home for your server

Single-digit ping across Western Europe

Brussels, Lyon and Geneva sit in single-digit milliseconds from Vélizy. London, Amsterdam and Frankfurt fall into low double digits. Madrid and Milan sit one tier south, still well inside normal European hops.

Density-ready for GPU and AI

PAR3 handles 22 kW per rack on air, scaling to 150 kW with direct liquid cooling. GPU server clusters and AI training rigs fit without bumping into the thermal limits of older Paris facilities.

Free cooling 86% of the year

Île-de-France climate lets the chillers idle most of the calendar. PUE averages 1.35 with WUE at zero litres per kilowatt-hour, so your hosting carbon profile holds up to any ESG audit.

CNIL jurisdiction, no Cloud Act exposure

France pioneered ANSSI's SecNumCloud framework specifically to keep cloud data out of foreign legal reach. Hosting on a French operator's hardware under a European company gives you the same legal posture, no certification overhead.

Instant deployment, no setup fees

Pick a Paris VPS, dedicated or GPU plan, deploy and SSH in under a minute. Transparent pricing on monthly, semi-annual and annual billing, with cancel-any-time and no fixed-term contract holding you in.

Unmetered bandwidth on premium hardware

AMD EPYC and NVMe behind the VPS plans, Nvidia passthrough on GPU, dedicated Ryzen 9 cores on VDS. Unmetered bandwidth and DDoS mitigation ship on every plan, one control panel across European and US zones.

FAQ

Where will my server be hosted in France?

Your Paris VPS, GPU server or dedicated machine lives inside DC2Scale PAR3 at 10 allée Latécoère in Vélizy-Villacoublay, ten kilometres southwest of central Paris. The site runs Tier III design with N+1 electrical redundancy and 2N cooling, FNC-IX hosted inside the building and France-IX Paris a short cross-connect away. DC2Scale is a French operator under 100% French capital, no foreign parent above it.

Why pick Paris over Frankfurt or Amsterdam?

Frankfurt and Amsterdam are Europe's two largest peering hubs, but for users in France, Belgium, Switzerland, the Iberian peninsula or francophone Africa, Paris gives you a noticeably shorter round trip than either of those hubs. Paris also sits one fibre hop north of Marseille, where 17 submarine cables open routes into Africa, the Middle East and Asia that run shorter from here than from northern Europe.

Is Paris hosting GDPR and Cloud Act compliant?

Yes. Your data sits inside the EU under French jurisdiction with CNIL oversight, one of the strictest privacy regulators in Europe. DC2Scale operates under 100% French capital and LumaDock runs as a European company, so no foreign parent in the corporate chain can invoke a Cloud Act order against your server. France's own ANSSI built the SecNumCloud framework precisely to close that door.

What OS images and apps can I deploy on a Paris VPS?

60+ one-click templates ship at deploy time. Linux distros span Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, FreeBSD, Alpine, openSUSE, Arch and CentOS Stream. Windows Server 2016, 2019 and 2022 ship as evaluation builds. Application templates include Docker, WordPress, n8n, Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Immich, Coolify, Dokploy, Pritunl, AzuraCast, Grafana, LAMP and plenty more. AI-focused templates cover Ollama, OpenWebUI, Claude Code and Gemini CLI. Control panel options include cPanel, Plesk, ispmanager, CyberPanel, HestiaCP, aaPanel and Webmin. Upload a custom ISO if you need something specific. Linux VPS and Windows VPS plans share the same hardware tier, so the OS choice doesn't change the price, and full KVM root access ships on every plan.

Can I scale up or move to another region later?

A Paris VPS resizes in place when capacity allows, so you can move to a bigger configuration without rebuilding. Bare metal dedicated servers can't be resized since they're physical hardware, but you can order an upgraded machine and migrate to it. Beyond Paris, we operate availability zones across Europe and the United States, so spinning up a server in another region is straightforward as your project grows.
