OliveVPS operates a full-stack Sydney VPS platform from NextDC S2, a Tier III certified facility in Macquarie Park, Sydney. Our Sydney cloud servers run on the same modern hardware, the same KVM hypervisor, and the same control panel as every other OliveVPS region — but with one critical difference: your packets never leave Australia unless they need to.

The Australia latency advantage

For local users in Sydney and the surrounding region, our region delivers sub-5ms application response times. A 100ms penalty on a distant data center costs ~7% in conversion rate. Local hosting recovers all of it.

Sydney VPS questions

How fast can I deploy a Sydney VPS?

Most Sydney VPS plans deploy in under 30 seconds. SSH credentials and IPv4/IPv6 addresses are issued immediately after payment confirmation. Windows VPS deployments take 2–5 minutes due to the larger image size.

Is the Sydney VPS hardware shared or dedicated?

CPU cores are dedicated. RAM is dedicated. NVMe storage is dedicated. The only shared resource is the underlying physical host, but our oversubscription ratio is conservative and we monitor steal time continuously to prevent noisy-neighbour issues.
