Amsterdam Netherlands
Amsterdam and AMS-IX are the other pole of European connectivity. Dutch transit is dense and competitively priced, which is why so much high-bandwidth hosting concentrates here.

What to run in Amsterdam
Choosing a site is mostly about where your users are. Here is where Amsterdam is the right answer.
- High-bandwidth distribution and streaming origins
- Workloads that want a second European hub distinct from Frankfurt
- Benelux, UK and Nordic end users
- Transit-heavy applications where peering breadth matters
Connectivity in Amsterdam
AMS-IX in Amsterdam is one of the two largest exchanges in Europe alongside DE-CIX. Dutch transit is unusually competitive, which is the underlying reason so much high-bandwidth and streaming infrastructure concentrates in the Netherlands.
Jurisdiction and data protection
The Netherlands, inside the EU and the EEA, with GDPR in force. Dutch hosting law is well tested and the country has a long-standing carrier-neutral colocation market.
Who this site reaches well
Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Nordics, plus strong transatlantic paths.
Pair it with Frankfurt
Frankfurt at 3 ms gives you a second hub on a different exchange without a meaningful latency penalty — the standard active-active pairing for European workloads. See Frankfurt
Where Amsterdam is the wrong choice
Dutch hosting attracts a lot of abuse traffic, so upstream networks filter Dutch ranges more aggressively than most. If deliverability of outbound email matters, plan for it rather than assuming a clean IP.
Platform and stock
Servers here run the same platform as the rest of the network: KVM isolation, full root from deploy, BGP multi-homed transit and inline 2.5 Tbps DDoS scrubbing with nothing to activate. Stock varies by site — if a configuration is not currently available in Amsterdam we will say so and point you at the nearest site that has it, rather than substituting hardware quietly.
