I’m thinking about getting a VPS in the Netherlands and keep seeing Amsterdam recommended. Is the network really that good for European traffic, and are there providers with crypto payments worth checking out?

Amsterdam is indeed one of the premier hubs for European traffic, offering exceptional peering, low latency, and robust connectivity across the continent. Many Dutch providers also support privacy-focused payment methods like cryptocurrencies. If you want to compare top-tier options, you can check providers available here to find a plan that matches your technical and privacy requirements.

Have you ever compared Amsterdam VPS plans by actual network routes? I’m wondering if peering makes a noticeable difference when serving users in different European countries.

I have, and routes can vary between providers. I’d check latency from your main user regions, bandwidth limits, storage type, and whether crypto payments are supported.
