Announce a single IP from three continents and let the internet do the routing — every visitor lands on the nearest server, automatically. It's the kind of thing the big clouds bill by the gigabyte. With BuyVM it's free with your slices.
Anycast announces the same IP address — or an entire prefix — from every one of your Points of Presence at once. When a request comes in, the network's own routing tables hand it to whichever PoP is closest in network terms. Shorter path, fewer hops, lower latency, more throughput. No DNS tricks, no client-side guesswork.
Set it up once, deploy a slice in each region, and your front door is everywhere at the same time.
Two coasts and the heart of Europe — enough to put most of the western internet within a short hop of your service. Announce your prefix from all three and let the routes sort themselves out.
Anything where milliseconds matter and your audience is spread across the map. If a user in Lisbon and a user in Los Angeles should both feel like the server is next door, this is the tool.
Serve static assets, images and pages from the edge nearest each visitor. Roll your own content network on three slices instead of renting one by the terabyte.
The classic anycast workload. Answer queries from the closest PoP so lookups stay fast worldwide — and stay resolving even if one location goes dark.
Low, predictable ping decides who wins. Drop a node on each coast and in Europe so players connect to the nearest one without you running a matchmaker.
Jitter and latency make or break a call. Anchor SIP and media on the nearest PoP so conversations sound like the other person is in the room.
There's no Anycast line item, no per-gigabyte charge, no enterprise sales call. You run one slice in each Point of Presence — three slices total — attach your prefix, and announce it. BuyVM is the only affordable VPS host that hands you anycast at all, let alone for free.
Three slices, one prefix, zero anycast fees. Deploy in each region, announce your IP, and watch the routes find their own way home.
