Will my server's IP address show as Andorran?
Yes. Each Andorra VPS receives an IPv4 address that geolocation databases list under Andorra. That matters for residents who want their online presence to match their country of residence, for local companies whose customers expect an Andorran service, and for developers who need to test how websites, payment pages or streaming services behave for visitors in the principality. Some geolocation databases update slowly, so a new address can occasionally appear under a neighbouring country for a short period before the records are refreshed. If you notice a lasting mismatch with a specific service, contact our support team and we will look into it with you.
Is Andorra a good location for websites targeting Spain and France?
It can be. Andorra sits between Catalonia and southern France, and its network connects towards both, so visitors from Barcelona, Lleida, Toulouse and Perpignan can reach an Andorran server quickly. For audiences spread across all of Spain or northern France, a server in Madrid or Paris may be slightly faster, but Andorra offers a useful middle ground for businesses that serve both sides of the Pyrenees, such as ski resorts, tourism operators and cross-border retailers. Many customers combine an Andorran server for their main presence with a content delivery network to speed up images and static files for distant visitors.
How does Andorran data protection compare with GDPR?
Andorra adopted a modern data protection law that follows the same principles as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, including rights for individuals, obligations for companies and an independent supervisory authority. The European Commission recognises Andorra as providing an adequate level of protection, which means personal data can flow between the EU and Andorra without extra transfer mechanisms. Hosting in Andorra therefore does not create an obstacle for European customers or partners. You remain responsible for how you process personal data on your server, so make sure your privacy policy and security measures meet the rules that apply to your business.
Can I run Windows on an Andorra VPS?
Yes. Windows Server can be selected when you order or installed later by our support team. Windows is popular for remote desktops, trading platforms, accounting software and applications that only run on Microsoft systems. Because a graphical Windows environment uses more memory than a minimal Linux install, we recommend at least the two-core plan with 4 GB of memory for comfortable everyday use, and four cores with 8 GB if several programs will run at once. You receive Administrator access, so you can install your own software and configure Remote Desktop settings as you wish.
What can I host on the entry plan?
The single-core plan with 2 GB of memory, 50 GB of SSD storage and 1,000 GB of monthly traffic is well suited to a personal or small business website, a WordPress blog with moderate traffic, a private VPN or proxy for your own use, a Discord or Telegram bot, a small game server for friends or a development environment. It is also a low-cost way to obtain an Andorran IP for testing. If your project grows, upgrading to the next plan keeps your data and address while adding more cores, memory and traffic.
How long does it take to set up my server?
Most Andorra servers are delivered within a few hours of payment confirmation, and occasionally up to a day if additional checks are needed. Once the server is ready, you receive the IP address and login details by email. Linux servers are accessed over SSH and Windows servers through Remote Desktop. From there you can install your software, configure the firewall and start serving visitors. If you need the server by a particular time, mention it in your order notes and our team will do its best to prioritise it.
Can I upgrade or change my plan later?
Yes. You can move to a larger plan at any time to gain more cores, memory and monthly traffic while keeping the same Andorran IP address and your existing data. Upgrades are arranged through the client area or by contacting support, and the price difference is calculated fairly for the remainder of your billing period. If you need to change operating system as well, a reinstall can be done during the same process, but remember that reinstalling erases the disk, so take a backup first.
Which payment methods can I use?
We accept credit and debit cards, PayPal and several cryptocurrencies. Prices are shown in US dollars and billed monthly, with no setup fees on standard plans and no long-term contract, so you can cancel at the end of any billing period. Invoices are available in your client area for your accounting. If you are an Andorran company and need specific details on invoices, contact our billing team and we will help.
