Our European hosting network — 13 POPs, own AS, 200 Gbps backbone.

Q: What volumetric attack protection is included?

1 Tbps of always-on scrubbing, free with every server. Volumetric floods — UDP, DNS and NTP amplification — are absorbed upstream of your origin, alongside protocol (SYN) and application-layer (L7) attacks. Detection kicks in inside 8 seconds; no ticket, no null-route.

Q: Is DDoS protection free, and do I need to enable it?

Free and always-on for every VPS, dedicated and game server — Layer 3 through 7 mitigation at 1 Tbps, no activation step, no per-attack billing. Scrubbing happens upstream of your origin, so clean traffic keeps flowing while an attack is being absorbed.

Q: Does traffic on this network stay under EU jurisdiction?

Yes for the EU POPs. The backbone and AS60982 are operated by X ZONE IT SRL, a Romanian company, so European racks and the routing between them fall under EU law and GDPR — no US CLOUD Act or FISA-702 exposure. Scrubbing happens in-region too: EU traffic is filtered in EU facilities, not hauled to a third country. A signed DPA is available on request.

Carrier-grade routing on European data centers we operate ourselves. 2 Tbps+ aggregate capacity across 13 cities, anycast IPv4/IPv6, BGP from our own AS number, and direct peering to 34+ Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers. Your traffic doesn’t pay tolls on someone else’s reseller hops — see the full platform on our VPS hosting and dedicated servers.

We operate our own AS60982, peering at DE-CIX, AMS-IX, LINX, NL-ix, InterLAN and 10 other European IXs. Every datacenter — Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Marseille, Milano, Madrid, Vienna, Bucharest, Sofia, Warsaw, Istanbul (coming soon), Helsinki and Ashburn (US edge) — runs anycast IPv4 + IPv6 with carrier-grade routing on 10–200 Gbps uplinks. The result: sub-5 ms intra-EU latency for the majority of the EU population, no upstream throttling, no jitter from middleware. BGP session on request, /29 or /28 IPv4 per server, IPv6 native dual-stack. Free 1 Tbps DDoS mitigation on every product. Look up our peering at PeeringDB — search AS60982.

01 · Architecture

The work behind the SLA.

Premium European data centers, anycast routing, and our own AS number. A network is not a feature you can bolt on — we carry, peer, and route every packet ourselves.

Tier 1 + Tier 2 peering

Direct connections to 34+ carrier networks. We carry your traffic on our backbone end-to-end — no transit reseller in the middle.

2 Tbps+ capacity

Aggregate fleet capacity sized for sustained 50% headroom. Spikes do not become incidents.

1 Tbps DDoS scrubbing

Always-on, free with every server. Layer 3 through 7 mitigation, < 8 s detection.

15 IX participations

We peer at every relevant European exchange plus Equinix Ashburn for North America. Lower hops, lower jitter.

IPv6 native

Dual-stack on every interface, anycast included free, carrier-graded NAT only when you ask for it.

< 5 ms intra-EU

Frankfurt to Amsterdam in 4.1 ms. Frankfurt to Paris in 9 ms. Carrier-grade routing matters.

Locations

Thirteen European POPs, plus Ashburn.

European data centers across Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Marseille, Milano, Madrid, Vienna, Bucharest, Sofia, Warsaw, Istanbul (coming soon), and Ashburn for transatlantic routing — every facility on our own AS, with carrier-grade BGP and anycast on every interface.

05 · DDoS protection

Volumetric attack protection, built in.

1 Tbps of always-on DDoS scrubbing, free on every server. Volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attacks are detected in under 8 seconds and mitigated upstream of your origin — clean traffic keeps flowing.

Volumetric attacks

UDP floods and DNS/NTP amplification absorbed at 1 Tbps scrubbing capacity. Bandwidth-saturation attacks die before they reach your uplink.

Protocol attacks

SYN floods and TCP state-exhaustion filtered at the network edge. < 8 s detection, no manual ticket, no null-route.

Application-layer (L7) attacks

HTTP floods and slowloris-style attacks scrubbed at Layer 7. Included free on every VPS, dedicated and game server.
