WholesaleInternet built its name on cheap, high-bandwidth dedicated servers — a fine product for one specific use case. Noded is built for the use cases that actually run modern businesses: SaaS APIs, real-time services, payment systems, game servers, and anything else where routing quality, RPKI, and always-on DDoS protection decide whether your customers stay. Cheap unmetered bandwidth and a production-grade network are not the same thing.
Why Noded Wins for Production Workloads
- Our own network, AS60982, with IP transit from an upstream carrier — bring your own ASN and announce your /24 to us over a BGP session; see our multi-homing guide.
- RPKI ROAs on every prefix we announce — all eight AS60982 /24s are RPKI-valid.
- Always-on DDoS protection at the network edge, included by default.
- Engineer-led support instead of generic ticket queues.
- Unmetered ports — no 95th percentile billing: dedicated servers take a guaranteed 1–200 Gbps port depending on the chassis, at a flat monthly price.
Where WholesaleInternet Sits
WholesaleInternet's pitch is straightforward: cheap bare metal in the US Midwest, often with high or unmetered bandwidth caps. That works for mirrors, archives, and bulk delivery where you don't care if a packet takes the long route. It doesn't work well for anything where end-user experience depends on consistent routing.
What Actually Matters
| What you actually need | Noded | WholesaleInternet |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-homed Tier-1 transit | No — one upstream carrier, no IX peering | Cost-optimized transit |
| RPKI ROAs on announced prefixes | Yes — every AS60982 /24 is RPKI-valid | Verify on their site |
| Always-on DDoS protection | Yes, included | Verify on their site |
| Engineer-led support | Yes | Generic tickets |
| Transparent billing | Flat monthly price, unmetered port | Often unmetered |
The One Thing WholesaleInternet Does Well
If your only requirement is the lowest cost-per-megabit on bulk traffic, WholesaleInternet is competitive. For mirrors, archives, and large file distribution where routing quality is irrelevant, that's a real value.
Pick Noded If You're Running Production
- Your application latency matters to end users.
- You're hosting real-time video, voice, gaming, financial, or interactive services.
- You need RPKI-valid address space, BYOIP, or a BGP session for your own ASN.
- You want always-on DDoS protection by default.
- You need to announce your own IPv4 /24 or run a BGP session from your own ASN — see our IPAM guide.
Pick WholesaleInternet Only If
- Your only requirement is the cheapest cost-per-megabit on bulk bandwidth.
- Your workload tolerates routing variance and slow support.
Migrating to Noded
Outgrown WholesaleInternet? The move works like any server migration. Noded servers are unmanaged, so you run the data migration and DNS cutover; if you hold your own /24, we announce it from AS60982 on a dedicated server once you provide a signed LOA and an RPKI ROA or IRR route object.

FAQ
Is WholesaleInternet cheaper than Noded?
On cost-per-megabit for bulk bandwidth, often yes. For everything else — routing quality, support, DDoS, BGP services — you're trading too much.
Does Noded include DDoS protection?
Yes, always-on at the network edge, included by default.
Which is better for video streaming or CDN-style workloads?
For low-cost bulk delivery, WholesaleInternet is competitive. For real-time streaming where viewer experience matters, Noded's network is built for that.
Can I migrate from WholesaleInternet to Noded?
Yes. Noded servers are unmanaged, so the data migration and DNS cutover are yours to run. If you hold your own /24, we announce it from AS60982 on a dedicated server once you provide a signed LOA and an RPKI ROA or IRR route object.
Does Noded offer BGP peering?
Yes, on dedicated servers: bring your own ASN plus an IPv4 /24 for a BGP session with AS60982, or bring just the /24 and we announce it for you — both are order options, a one-time €25 for the /24 announcement or €50 with your own ASN. You need a signed LOA and an RPKI ROA or IRR route object.
