WHY UCARTZ

Run It Yourself, With Engineers a Ticket Away.

A Tokyo VPN endpoint or monitoring node mostly looks after itself. You keep full root and pay the self-managed price, and on the day a firewall rule or a route refuses to behave, you have people to ask.

Your node, your rules

Full root access from day one with zero proprietary bloatware, giving your team complete freedom over OS builds, kernel parameters, and network configurations while paying the unmanaged rate.

A second pair of eyes

Stuck on a WireGuard peer or an iptables rule? Send a quick question to our engineers; in most cases that kind of small help comes at no extra charge.

Hire an expert, then hand back the keys

Building out a proxy fleet or rebuilding several nodes is bigger work. Book an engineer as an add-on, once, by the hour or for a month, close it when the job is done and carry on self-managed. There is no lock-in.

One account from Tokyo outward

The account that pays for this server can also order nodes in our other cities, all on one bill with no separate contract per country. See every Ucartz location.

WHERE ARE THE SERVERS

Your Server Lives in Tokyo, Japan.

Every plan on this page runs in Tokyo, Japan's capital and one of its two main data centre hubs. If your visitors, customers or test users are in Japan, a server in Tokyo gives you a Japanese IP address and keeps their traffic and your data inside the country.

  • A real presence in Japan

    A Tokyo server gives your service a Japanese IP address and a home inside Japan. That matters for VPN endpoints, regional websites, and testing how your app behaves for users in Japan.

  • Japan's main data centre hub

    Tokyo and Osaka are Japan's two main data centre hubs. Hosting in Tokyo puts your server in the heart of Japan's hosting and network market.

  • Home of Japan's internet exchanges

    Tokyo hosts exchange points for JPIX, established in July 1997 as Japan's first commercial internet exchange, and JPNAP, run by Internet Multifeed in Tokyo and Osaka since 2001. We only publish network facts we can confirm for our own servers, so ask our engineers about routing before you order.

  • Flat monthly rate

    Dedicated server plans are billed at a flat monthly price with no hidden charges. You pay the monthly rate and nothing else to get started.

DATA PROTECTION IN JAPAN

Japanese User Data, Kept in Japan.

Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information, known as the APPI, is overseen by the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC). The latest amendments have been fully in force since 1 April 2023.

Article 28 of the APPI covers providing personal data to a third party in a foreign country. As a general rule, it needs the person's prior consent, after they have been told about the other country's data protection system. There are exceptions: when the country is one Japan recognises as having equivalent protection (the EU and the UK are designated), or when the recipient has systems in place that give equivalent protection. The link runs both ways with Europe: the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision for Japan in 2019 and completed its first review on 4 April 2023.

Article 28 is about providing data to someone else. Whether using a hosting provider counts as providing data depends on whether the provider handles the personal data on the server, which is a question to settle with your adviser. On a dedicated server you hold root access and decide what is stored on it, and keeping the data on a server in Tokyo keeps it in Japan.

Hosting in Japan does not make a service APPI compliant by itself; compliance also depends on what data you collect, how you secure it and how you use it. This is general information, not legal advice. Please check your obligations with a qualified adviser. Once you know what you need, our engineers will help you configure the server to match, from disk layout and firewall rules to where your backups live.

Data Protection Checklist

  • Run the main database on your Tokyo machine
  • Decide if backup copies may leave Japan
  • Name in your privacy notice every service that moves personal data out of Japan
  • Restrict admin access with firewall rules and SSH keys
  • Ask a qualified adviser how Article 28 applies to your setup

USE CASES

What People Run on a Tokyo Server.

Pick Tokyo when you need a foothold in Japan without paying for high end hardware. These are the jobs these servers handle well.

VPN and proxy endpoints

Give your team or your customers a Japanese exit point. A VPN or proxy needs steady uptime and a Japanese IP address far more than raw CPU power.

Small websites and APIs

Serve a Japanese language site, a landing page, a blog or a light API from inside Japan, with the data kept in Tokyo.

Development and testing

Check how your app, payments or content behave for users in Japan, or keep a staging copy of your production system in the region.

Asia Pacific presence and monitoring

Run a DNS node, an uptime monitor or a small relay in Japan as part of a wider network, or start your Japan presence small and grow into it.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

What Comes With Every Tokyo Plan.

No hidden extras and no initial fee. This is what you get on every Japan plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the plans, support and billing.

Plans run from $143.43 to $299.22 a month across 5 configurations, billed monthly with no setup fee. Each plan in the table above lists its CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth, IPs and locations.

Every plan on this page is in Tokyo, Japan. The location is fixed once the server is delivered.

Bandwidth costs more in Asia than in Europe or North America, so plans here come with a smaller traffic allowance or a slower port, or cost more for the same hardware. Check the bandwidth on each plan; if you need more traffic, ask us for a quote.

Every Japan plan has a 100 Mbps network port and you are not billed per gigabyte transferred. A 100 Mbps port running flat out all month moves about 32 TB, so that is the practical ceiling. No transfer fee applies; the only ceiling is the port.

These are older Intel servers launched between 2010 and 2013, so they suit light and steady work: VPN endpoints, DNS and monitoring nodes, small websites and APIs, development and testing, and giving your business a presence in Japan. The dual Xeon E5-2620 v2 plan with 64 GB of RAM handles small databases and a few virtual machines. They are not built for heavy compute or high traffic streaming; if that is your need, talk to an engineer before ordering.

Dedicated servers are delivered within 2 to 46 business hours of payment, depending on the location and server type. Business hours are our billing office's working hours in India (IST), excluding public holidays.

No. Dedicated servers are not covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee, because the hardware is set up for you. The conditions are in section 8 of our Terms and Conditions, so ask us before you order if you are unsure which plan fits.

No. The location is fixed when you order. To use another location, order a new server there, move your data and cancel the old one (Appendix B.8 of our terms).

Each plan in the table lists its usable IPv4 addresses. IPs are final once the server is delivered (Appendix B.7 of our terms). Extra subnets from /29 to /24 can be ordered separately, each with its own gateway.

No. These plans don't include a DDoS mitigation service. If you need one, ask us before you order and we will tell you which locations can offer it.

Yes. Port 25 is open and dedicated servers have no fixed sending limit. Spam, unsolicited mail and other mail abuse are prohibited under sections 3 and 7 of our Acceptable Use Policy.

Where the data centre offers it, IPMI or KVM console access is usually available free on request. On Supermicro servers the BMC licence for HTML5 virtual media is activated, so you can mount an ISO from your browser.

No. You are responsible for backups on a dedicated server (section 5 of our terms). Our engineers can set up a backup routine for you as on-demand work.

Yes. Every self-managed Japan dedicated server includes Free Basic Managed Support: complimentary, best-effort help from our support team with quick tasks of about 5 minutes, such as boot and access checks, OS reinstalls, IP and DNS pointing and first-level troubleshooting. You keep full root access and control.

Yes. Hire a Ucartz engineer only when you need one, from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour, or on a monthly plan. There is no long-term contract, and you can stop the extra support as soon as the work is done.

Yes. Our team deploys private LLMs, n8n workflow automation and custom build systems on your own server, then hands everything over with documentation.
