Where your website and data live
Our servers sit in two Belgian data centers: one in Brussels and one in Ghent. We rent rack space of our own there, the machines are ours, and we work with an IP range of our own. Your website, database and mailboxes therefore stay in Belgium.
Below you will find what we have there, and what that means for your data, your email and the speed of your site.
Two locations in Belgium
Most providers stop at "servers in Europe". We name the two cities our equipment sits in.
Our first location.
Our second location, some 50 kilometres away.
The two sites share no building, no power supply and no network access. A problem at one location therefore does not reach the other. Whether your service uses both locations depends on what you take — ask about your own setup.
What we have there
Rack space of our own
We rent rack space holding our own servers. So we do not buy capacity from another hosting provider. Between us and the machine your site runs on, there is nobody.
An IP range of our own
The IP addresses your site and mail go out on are ours. They are not borrowed from a larger party, and they stay ours if anything about the infrastructure changes.
Managed in-house
The servers are managed by our own people. Call about a problem and you speak to someone who can get to the machine.
What you get from it
Your data stays in Belgium
That saves work in your GDPR accountability: you have no transfer outside the EU to justify. For organisations handling personal data, that is often a firm requirement from their own clients.
Your mail shares no reputation with strangers
On borrowed IP addresses you sit in the same block as other customers. If one of them sends spam, you notice it in your own deliverability. With a range of our own, that reputation depends only on what leaves through our infrastructure.
A shorter distance to your visitors
A Belgian visitor is closer to a server in Brussels or Ghent than to a server on another continent. That plays out on every request their browser makes.
One party that can step in
Because we manage the servers ourselves, we do not have to contact a supplier before we can fix something.
Your own server in our rack space
If you already have hardware, or licences tied to a particular machine, you can place it with us. We provide the rack space, power, cooling, connectivity and the security of the building. Managing the machine stays with you.
