Introducing Orbit Servers

Introducing Orbit Servers

Today we are launching Orbit Servers - a hosting platform built from the ground up for low-latency, performance-critical workloads. Most "cheap VPS" providers optimise for density: pack as many customers onto a box as possible and hope nobody notices the contention. We went the other way. Orbit Servers is engineered for the people who measure success in milliseconds: Solana traders, RPC operators, validators, and anyone who treats latency as a feature rather than an afterthought.

Why we built Orbit Servers

The on-chain world does not forgive slow infrastructure. A transaction that arrives a few milliseconds late is a transaction that loses. Yet the hosting options available to on-chain users were a frustrating compromise: either over-subscribed budget VPS instances with unpredictable steal time, or enterprise dedicated servers with enterprise lead times and enterprise prices. We set out to deliver the performance of dedicated hardware with the convenience of instant, self-service provisioning.

What is available now

Our New York and Virginia locations are live and provisioning instantly. Both regions are chosen specifically for proximity to the infrastructure our users care about - the East Coast is home to some of the most important Solana endpoints, including the New York Jito Block Engine.

What is coming next

  • EU rollout: London, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt land within the week, giving European users their own low-latency footprint.
  • APAC: Tokyo and additional regions follow shortly after.
  • Bare metal: Dedicated machines for validators and full RPC nodes are in active development.

Built for the on-chain edge

Every location is selected for its network position, not just its rack space. Expect top-tier performance with sub-millisecond ping to OrbitFlare RPCs, premium peering, and NVMe storage as standard. If you want the detail on how location affects on-chain performance, read our guide on choosing the best server location for Solana.

Getting started

Pick a location, choose a plan, and your server is ready in moments - pay with crypto or card. Follow along on our website and Twitter/X as we expand the network. This is just the launch; the roadmap is long.
