Melbourne is Australia's second datacenter market, often used as the backup location for systems that run in Sydney. On 19 October 2026, PeeringDB listed **20 colocation facilities** within 40 km of central Melbourne, run by 12 different operators. The operators with the most buildings in that radius are Vocus Group (4), Equinix (3), NEXTDC (3) and Digital Realty (2). The buildings where the most networks are present are NEXTDC M1 (142 networks), Equinix ME1/ME2 - Melbourne (138 networks) and NEXTDC M2 (36 networks). That ranks Melbourne 31st by facility count among the 34 datacenter cities on this site, behind Manchester (20) and ahead of Johannesburg (14). ## Which internet exchanges are in Melbourne? PeeringDB lists **6 internet exchange points** in the Melbourne area. The largest by connected networks: - **MegaIX Melbourne**: 135 networks, present in 13 facilities - **IX Australia Melbourne (VIC-IX)**: 103 networks, present in 4 facilities - **EdgeIX - Melbourne**: 74 networks, present in 5 facilities If the network behind your Melbourne IP and your target's network both peer at MegaIX Melbourne, traffic between them can stay in Melbourne. The route itself depends on the upstream network that holds the IP; RackProxies does not promise one. ## How far is Melbourne from other datacenter hubs? From Melbourne, the nearest hub on this site is Sydney: 710 km, so no packet can make the Melbourne–Sydney round trip in less than 7.1 ms over fiber (light in fiber covers about 200 km per ms). Measured round trips are always above these floors, because cables never run in a straight line. *Great-circle distance from central Melbourne; round trip = distance × 2 ÷ 200 km per ms.* | Hub | Straight-line distance | Minimum round trip in fiber | | --- | --- | --- | | [Sydney](https://rackproxies.com/datacenter-proxies/australia/sydney/) | 710 km | 7.1 ms | | [Osaka](https://rackproxies.com/datacenter-proxies/japan/osaka/) | 8,120 km | 81.2 ms | | [Ashburn](https://rackproxies.com/datacenter-proxies/united-states/ashburn/) | 16,350 km | 163.5 ms | | [London](https://rackproxies.com/datacenter-proxies/united-kingdom/london/) | 16,900 km | 169.0 ms | | [Frankfurt](https://rackproxies.com/datacenter-proxies/germany/frankfurt/) | 16,320 km | 163.2 ms | | [Singapore](https://rackproxies.com/datacenter-proxies/singapore/) | 6,060 km | 60.6 ms | ## Where will a Melbourne datacenter IP geolocate? In the APNIC records, a Melbourne datacenter IP belongs to a hosting or transit network rather than to a consumer ISP. Lookup services usually show Melbourne or the Melbourne, Victoria area, but a database can also list the network's head office or another Australia city. Many label such addresses "hosting", which is the truth for a datacenter proxy. Run the [datacenter IP check](https://rackproxies.com/guides/check-a-datacenter-ip/) on a Melbourne IP before a long job, with the database your target uses. If Melbourne shows as the wrong place for your use, support can replace the IP within Australia, subject to stock. ## What is a Melbourne datacenter proxy good for? Pick Melbourne for checks from Victoria and as a second Australian location. For allowlisted APIs or your own monitoring, a Melbourne IP gives you an address that does not change for 30 days. Do not expect a Melbourne datacenter IP to look like a home user: it is honestly labelled as hosting. ## How much do Melbourne datacenter proxies cost? RackProxies uses one price list for every city, as of October 2026: $1.29 for one Melbourne IP for 30 days, $12.69 for 10 IPs and $59.25 for 100 IPs ($0.59/IP). There is no city surcharge and no per-GB billing; fair use applies. Choose Australia at checkout and ask for Melbourne. ### Which plan fits a Melbourne job? | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 datacenter IP | 1 IP | $1.29 | $1.29/IP · 30 days | | 10 datacenter IPs | 10 IPs | $12.69 | $1.27/IP · 30 days | | 50 datacenter IPs | 50 IPs | $33.75 | $0.68/IP · 30 days | | 100 datacenter IPs | 100 IPs | $59.25 | $0.59/IP · 30 days | Pay in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The top-up is the price of the plan you choose, less any balance you already have, and at least $25; anything left stays on your balance. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD, per 30-day rental. ## What else do people ask about Melbourne datacenter proxies? ### Can I choose a Melbourne datacenter IP? Yes, as long as IPs are online there: choose Australia at checkout and ask for Melbourne. Availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. If no Melbourne IP is free that day, the nearest other Australia city with a page is Sydney. The datacenter city of each IP is shown in your account after delivery. ### How much does a Melbourne datacenter proxy cost? $1.29 for one IP for 30 days, $12.69 for 10 and $33.75 for 50, as of October 2026. Melbourne costs the same as every other city on RackProxies. You pay from a crypto balance (at least $25 per top-up), with no ID upload. ### Will a Melbourne IP show Melbourne in IP lookups? Usually, but not always. Geolocation databases map hosting IPs from registry records, routing data and corrections, so a Melbourne IP can appear in another Australia city in one database. Check the database your target uses; see [why datacenter IPs geolocate differently](https://rackproxies.com/guides/datacenter-ip-geolocation/). ### How many datacenters are there in Melbourne? PeeringDB listed 20 colocation facilities within 40 km of Melbourne on 19 October 2026, from 12 operators. Other directories give other totals: PeeringDB only lists buildings that operators registered. ### Is Melbourne the right location for my target?
