Our network and data centers

Two data centers in France, Intel Xeon servers with NVMe and a German network that specializes in DDoS mitigation. This is what your services run on.

Data centers in Strasbourg and Paris

Our game servers run in Strasbourg, right on the Rhine at the French–German border, in the middle of Western Europe. VPS and web hosting run in Paris, our second site. Both are in the EU, both are DDoS-protected, and both reach the rest of Europe over the same premium network.

Network and connectivity

  • Upstream SmartNet

    Our servers reach the internet through SMARTNET Germany GmbH (AS203446). The Frankfurt am Main network operator specializes in DDoS mitigation and runs its network in several Equinix data centers.

  • Peering at Nine-IX

    Nine-IX is a European internet exchange in 12 cities, from Paris to Frankfurt to Amsterdam. There we meet over 160 networks and exchange traffic directly, with no detour through third parties.

  • Filtered twice

    SmartNet stops attacks inside its own network. UnioShield then checks the traffic once more right in front of your server, in every plan.

  • 10 Gbit/s per host

    Every VPS host has a symmetrical 10 Gbit/s uplink. Downloads, backups and updates run without a bottleneck at the server.
