Oregon has become one of the most strategically important datacenter states in the US β chosen by Amazon, Google, Apple, Meta and Microsoft for massive hyperscale campuses along the Columbia River corridor, drawn by the cheapest hydroelectric power on the continent, a cool Pacific climate that virtually eliminates cooling costs and a fiber backbone that connects directly to the Pacific Rim cable network.

Oregon is not merely a good datacenter location β it is the location that Amazon, Google, Apple and Microsoft chose when they needed to build the largest datacenters in the world. The state's combination of near-free hydroelectric power, a cool Pacific climate that makes cooling almost unnecessary and a Pacific Coast fiber backbone connecting to Asia makes Oregon a genuinely world-class hosting environment for any workload.
The Columbia River is one of the most powerful hydroelectric corridors on the planet, fed by the Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day and McNary dams. The resulting electricity is among the cheapest commercial power available anywhere in the United States β consistently among the lowest rates in the country. This is the primary reason Amazon Web Services chose The Dalles, Oregon for its first major US datacenter cluster in 2006 and has continued expanding there ever since, followed by Google, Apple and Facebook. Our Oregon VPS nodes benefit from the same fundamentally low-cost, renewable power economics that attracted the world's largest cloud operators to the Columbia River corridor.
Portland's mild, overcast Pacific climate β averaging just 15Β°C in summer β means datacenters in Oregon can run on free-air cooling (economisers) for the vast majority of the year, completely eliminating or dramatically reducing the energy cost of mechanical refrigeration. In contrast, Texas or Arizona datacenters run active cooling systems for 6β8 months annually at significant energy expense. Oregon's natural climate effectively provides the equivalent of free air conditioning for most of the calendar year β a structural operational cost advantage that compounds across every billing cycle and benefits every VPS running in the state.
Portland sits on the primary Pacific Coast fiber highway between Seattle (~6ms) and San Francisco (~18ms), making it the natural midpoint node for the entire US West Coast. The city is also the US continental entry point for several transpacific fiber cables that land at nearby Pacific coast cable stations β providing direct, low-latency connectivity to Tokyo (~90ms), Seoul and other APAC destinations without bouncing through California. For any application requiring simultaneous coverage of the Pacific Northwest, Northern California and transpacific reach, Portland is the optimal single-node West Coast deployment.
The Columbia River corridor between Portland and The Dalles hosts some of the largest datacenters ever built β Amazon Web Services' original US campus at The Dalles, Google's massive Dalles and Wasco County campuses, Apple's Prineville facility and Facebook's (Meta's) Prineville datacenter campus. These hyperscale operators chose Oregon after conducting exhaustive global site selection analyses. Their collective endorsement β backed by billions of dollars of infrastructure investment β is the most credible possible validation of Oregon as a world-class datacenter environment. The same factors that attracted them benefit our VPS infrastructure directly.
