Free VPS Texas - Virtual Private Server in Dallas & Houston

Both Dallas and Houston datacenters offer excellent performance, but your choice depends on your target audience and specific needs. Dallas is ideal if you're serving the central and eastern US, with excellent connectivity to the Midwest and East Coast. It's also a major tech hub with extensive peering relationships. Houston is better if you're targeting the southern US, have Latin American users, or need proximity to Gulf Coast businesses. Performance differences are minimal for most US users - both locations provide sub-20ms latency to major American cities. You can test both and choose based on your specific latency requirements.

Texas VPS provides excellent latency across the United States due to its central location. Typical latencies: 10-20ms to central US cities (Kansas City, Chicago, Denver), 20-30ms to eastern cities (New York, Atlanta, Miami), 30-45ms to West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle), and 15-25ms to southern cities (New Orleans, Memphis, Phoenix). These numbers make Texas ideal for applications serving nationwide audiences. International latency: 70-90ms to Western Europe, 150-180ms to Asia, and 40-60ms to Latin America. For lowest possible latency to specific regions, we also offer VPS in other locations worldwide.

Yes, migrating your existing VPS to our Texas datacenter is straightforward. For VPS already with VPSWALA, we can help migrate between locations - typically involving creating a snapshot, deploying a new VPS in Texas, and restoring your data. Your applications will experience minimal downtime (usually under 30 minutes). If migrating from another provider, you can create backups of your data and applications, deploy a Texas VPS with us, and transfer your files via SFTP, rsync, or other migration tools. We provide detailed migration guides and our support team can assist with the process. DNS propagation may take 24-48 hours, so plan accordingly.

Our Texas datacenters meet the physical and technical requirements for HIPAA compliance, but achieving full HIPAA compliance requires proper configuration on your end as well. The infrastructure provides necessary safeguards including physical security, access controls, audit logging, and data encryption capabilities. However, you're responsible for implementing proper security measures on your VPS including encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, audit trails, and signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with us. For HIPAA-compliant deployments, we recommend our managed VPS plans where our team assists with security configuration. Always consult with your compliance officer before deploying protected health information.

Texas VPS servers are connected to 1Gbps network ports, though actual speeds depend on your plan and current network conditions. Free and starter plans typically achieve 100-300Mbps sustained speeds, which is more than sufficient for most websites and applications. Higher-tier plans can sustain 500Mbps to full gigabit speeds. Both Dallas and Houston datacenters have 10Gbps+ backbone capacity with multiple redundant uplinks to Tier-1 carriers. We don't throttle bandwidth based on time of day - you get consistent performance 24/7. If you need guaranteed bandwidth or speeds above 1Gbps, contact us about dedicated server options with 10Gbps network interfaces.

We maintain a reasonable acceptable use policy focused on preventing illegal content and abuse. Legal adult content is permitted as long as it complies with US federal and Texas state laws, doesn't involve minors, and doesn't generate abuse complaints. Controversial content is generally allowed under free speech principles, provided it's legal. Prohibited content includes: child exploitation, revenge porn, content promoting violence or terrorism, malware distribution, phishing, spam operations, and copyright-infringing material. If you're unsure whether your content is acceptable, contact our compliance team before deployment. We respond to valid DMCA takedown notices and law enforcement requests as required by law.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum) for payment after your free trial ends. Credit card and PayPal payments are processed automatically for recurring monthly billing. Cryptocurrency payments require manual renewal each month. We also accept wire transfers and ACH for annual prepayments, which often come with discounts. No payment method is required to start your free trial - we only ask for payment details when you're ready to upgrade or continue service after the trial period. All transactions are secure and PCI DSS compliant.

Texas VPS offers comparable or better performance than AWS US-South (Texas) region for most workloads, often at significantly lower cost. Our bare-metal virtualization provides near-native performance without the "noisy neighbor" issues common on oversold cloud platforms. AWS advantages include massive scalability, extensive service ecosystem (databases, ML, storage services), and global reach. VPSWALA advantages include predictable pricing (no surprise bills), dedicated resources, simpler pricing structure, and better price-performance ratio for sustained workloads. For startups, small businesses, and individual developers, Texas VPS typically provides better value. For enterprises needing advanced cloud services and global scale, AWS may be more appropriate.
