Why Host in Amsterdam’s AMS-IX Region?

Choosing the right hosting location is about more than finding space for a server. The physical location of your infrastructure, the quality of its network connections, and the routes your traffic takes all have a direct impact on speed, reliability, and the experience of your users.

Our Amsterdam datacentre is positioned to take advantage of one of Europe’s most important internet connectivity regions. With redundant connections to NIKHEF Amsterdam and Equinix AM5 Amsterdam, our network provides fast, resilient access to Tier 1 carriers, private peering partners, cloud platforms, content networks, and other major networks.

Ultra-Low-Latency Connectivity

Latency affects almost every online service. Websites feel more responsive, applications communicate faster, and real-time services perform more smoothly when network delays are kept to a minimum.

Our datacentre has ultra-low-latency connections of less than 1 millisecond to both NIKHEF and Equinix AM5. This gives hosted systems rapid access to major network exchange and interconnection points in Amsterdam.

For customers, this can mean:

• Faster website and application response times
• Improved performance for APIs and cloud services
• Smoother gaming, streaming, and real-time communications
• Faster data transfer between connected platforms
• A better experience for users across the Netherlands and Europe

By keeping traffic close to Amsterdam’s core internet infrastructure, unnecessary network distance and routing delays can be reduced.

Redundant Connections for Greater Reliability

Fast connectivity is important, but it must also be dependable.

Our network is connected redundantly to two major Amsterdam interconnection locations: NIKHEF Amsterdam and Equinix AM5 Amsterdam. These connections use separate network paths, helping to prevent a single connection or location from becoming a single point of failure.

If one route experiences an interruption, traffic can be redirected through the alternative path. This network design improves resilience and helps keep services available during maintenance, fibre issues, or upstream network problems.

Redundancy is especially valuable for:

• Business-critical websites
• E-commerce platforms
• SaaS applications
• Cloud infrastructure
• Voice and communication services
• Gaming platforms
• High-traffic online services

Access to Tier 1 Networks

Tier 1 networks form a major part of the global internet backbone. They operate large international infrastructures and exchange traffic across countries and continents.

Through our Amsterdam connectivity, hosted services can reach Tier 1 carriers using efficient network routes. This provides strong international connectivity and helps deliver consistent performance to users in Europe and beyond.

Instead of relying on a single upstream provider, our network can use multiple connectivity options. This gives us greater routing flexibility and allows traffic to take an efficient path towards its destination.

Private Peering with Major Networks

Not all internet traffic needs to travel through traditional transit providers.

Private peering allows networks to exchange traffic directly. This can shorten the route between your server and the destination network, reducing the number of intermediate networks involved.

Direct and private peering can provide several advantages:

• Lower latency
• More predictable routing
• Reduced congestion
• Greater network capacity
• Improved performance during traffic peaks
• More direct access to major content, cloud, and access networks

For hosting customers, this means traffic can reach important networks through shorter and more controlled paths.

Located at the Heart of Europe’s Internet Infrastructure

Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most connected digital hubs. It is home to a dense concentration of internet exchanges, carriers, cloud providers, content delivery networks, and international fibre routes.

Hosting in the Amsterdam region places your infrastructure close to this ecosystem. It provides excellent connectivity throughout the Netherlands while also offering strong routes to Germany, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe.

This makes Amsterdam an ideal location for organisations serving a European audience or operating internationally.

Better Routing to Major Networks

The route taken by your traffic matters just as much as the available bandwidth.

A poorly routed connection can introduce unnecessary distance, congestion, and network hops. Our combination of Tier 1 transit and private peering gives traffic multiple ways to reach its destination.

This allows our network to select efficient routes to major internet service providers, cloud platforms, content networks, and enterprise networks.

The result is a hosting environment designed for:

• Fast delivery
• Stable connectivity
• High availability
• Efficient international routing
• Consistent application performance

Built for Performance and Availability

Our Amsterdam hosting platform combines three essential elements: location, speed, and redundancy.

With sub-1 ms connectivity to NIKHEF Amsterdam and Equinix AM5 Amsterdam, redundant network paths, Tier 1 transit, and private peering, our infrastructure is designed to provide reliable access to major networks.

Whether you are hosting a company website, business application, cloud platform, game server, streaming service, or high-traffic online project, our Amsterdam network gives your infrastructure a strong foundation.

Host Closer to the Networks That Matter

Your server should not simply be connected to the internet. It should be connected intelligently.

By hosting with us in Amsterdam, you benefit from:

• Redundant connections to NIKHEF and Equinix AM5
• Ultra-low latency of less than 1 ms
• Access to Tier 1 international networks
• Private peering with major networks
• Efficient routes throughout Europe
• Improved resilience and uptime
• A network designed for demanding online services

Host your infrastructure at the heart of Europe’s internet ecosystem and give your users the speed, reliability, and connectivity they expect.
