When you choose hosting for your Minecraft server, distance matters: the farther away, the longer every hit and every block takes to land.
Many popular hosts keep their servers in the United States or Europe. Picoserver keeps them in Querétaro, Mexico, close to the country's population center.

It's an estimate, not a promise
We estimate ping from the distance to Querétaro alone. Your real ping can vary with:
- Your internet provider and the route it takes. In northern Mexico, traffic sometimes goes through the United States.
- Your home connection: cable almost always beats Wi-Fi.
- The time of day: at peak hours the network can be busier.
Use it to compare locations, not as a guarantee.
What the table tells you
- Central Mexico and the Bajío (Mexico City, Toluca, León, Puebla, Guadalajara): a server in Querétaro is a fraction of the distance of any option in the United States.
- Monterrey is also closer to Querétaro than to Dallas.
- The far corners are another story: Tijuana is much closer to Los Angeles, and Cancún to Miami.
- Is your group spread across the country? A server in the center is usually the best middle ground.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good ping for Minecraft?
Under 50 ms feels instant. Between 50 and 100 ms is perfectly playable. Above 150 ms you start to notice a delay when hitting or placing blocks. It matters less in Minecraft than in a shooter, but in PvP a low ping is always welcome.
Why is my real ping different from the estimate?
The estimate only takes distance into account. Your real ping also depends on your internet provider, whether you play over Wi-Fi or cable, and how busy the network is at that moment.
