FAQ

Answering All Your Questions About Our Dedicated Servers in the Netherlands

What makes Amsterdam the best location for dedicated servers?

Amsterdam is one of the world’s most interconnected digital hubs, offering exceptional global reach and network performance. Its dense carrier ecosystem ensures consistently low latency to major European and international destinations, making it ideal for businesses that serve users across the EU, the UK, and North America.

Beyond performance, Amsterdam stands out for its neutrality and regulatory stability. The Netherlands enforces data protection and privacy under strict GDPR compliance, creating an environment where infrastructure is both secure and lawful.

It remains the safe, strategic choice for deploying dedicated servers in Europe.

How do Advanced Hosting’s dedicated servers compare to VPS or cloud?

VPS and cloud environments share physical resources between multiple users. That can lead to inconsistent performance, where workloads compete for resources. In contrast, dedicated servers provide single-tenant bare metal — no hypervisor, no shared layers, and no interference from neighboring systems. You get exclusive access to all compute, memory, and storage capacity.

For demanding applications such as high-performance computing, iGaming, or media delivery, this isolation translates into predictable latency and stable throughput. Dedicated infrastructure also enables direct hardware management, giving full control that virtualized environments rarely allow.

While cloud services are convenient for temporary or elastic workloads, dedicated servers offer superior consistency, compliance, and control for long-term operations. If you’re working with Advanced Hosting in Amsterdam, this means you get enterprise-grade infrastructure, connected to Europe’s largest exchange ecosystem, without any virtualization overhead slowing you down.

What industries benefit most from hosting in the Netherlands?

The Netherlands attracts industries that depend equally on freedom, compliance, and connectivity. SaaS providers choose Amsterdam for its low-latency access to major European business centers, ensuring fast, reliable service delivery across the continent. Media and streaming platforms leverage the city’s dense peering ecosystem to reach audiences without bottlenecks, while fintech, trading, and data-driven enterprises rely on the stability and speed of the local infrastructure for real-time operations.

High-performance computing, AI, and analytics workloads benefit from the region’s high-density rack capabilities and strong power reliability. At the same time, Amsterdam’s balanced regulatory stance supports sectors that require lawful flexibility — from digital content to iGaming and emerging web technologies.

Unlike stricter jurisdictions, Dutch and EU regulations work in harmony to protect user data while maintaining operational freedom. This combination of performance, privacy, and neutrality makes the Netherlands one of the most attractive hosting destinations for both high-compliance and high-demand industries.

What hardware platforms do you use for Netherlands dedicated servers?

We use only enterprise-grade platforms along with professional networking equipment designed for production environments. Processors come from the latest high-performance server lines and are supported by error-correcting memory to maintain data integrity under heavy workloads. Storage is based on solid-state drives by default, with hybrid options that combine solid-state and hard drives for archive or backup needs. Graphics processing units can be added for compute-intensive work such as artificial intelligence or machine learning.

Unlike providers that mix consumer and enterprise hardware, we follow a strict enterprise-only standard to ensure reliability and consistent operation. Each server includes full hardware-level management access, allowing operating system reinstalls, reboots, and direct console control without waiting on support. The goal is to provide predictable, production-grade performance rather than minimal acceptable hosting.

How does your network differ from other providers?

Many providers advertise access to large network exchanges but rely on shared or oversubscribed connections. We take a carrier-neutral approach, with every location in Amsterdam connected through multiple independent upstream routes. Bandwidth is provisioned with full redundancy, so the loss of any single link does not affect service availability.

Each server includes dedicated network capacity by default, with flexible upgrade paths for higher-speed or clustered environments. Private networks can scale to support inter-rack or hybrid cloud setups without adding latency. Data centers are interconnected through dedicated fiber links, allowing distributed deployments to operate as a single, seamless environment.

For workloads such as media delivery, artificial intelligence, or online gaming, this design provides consistently low latency, minimal jitter, and stable throughput even during heavy network traffic.

Cooling environments follow N+1 principles with full containment to preserve thermal balance under any load conditions. Network connectivity is diversified through multiple upstream carriers, ensuring that no single route or provider can cause a disruption. This multi-path configuration eliminates single points of failure across routing and transport.

Can I run iGaming or adult digital entertainment workloads?

Yes. Amsterdam is one of the few European hubs where both iGaming and adult workloads can be hosted compliantly. Dutch and EU law enforce GDPR and privacy protections, but they also allow freedom for high-risk businesses that are restricted elsewhere. For iGaming, our servers provide deterministic performance for odds calculation, multiplayer backends, and transaction processing. Operators can scale clusters across multiple data centers while keeping latency under 15 ms to the EU and UK. For adult platforms, Amsterdam’s liberal laws and carrier-neutral data centers provide a discreet yet compliant foundation for streaming, VOD, and interactive services. Unlike US or Middle Eastern markets, you don’t face sudden takedowns or shifting restrictions. Advanced Hosting has long experience with high-risk industries, and our infrastructure is engineered to combine discretion, compliance, and performance.

What level of control will I have over my server?

Every server includes permanent hardware management access, allowing you to power cycle, reinstall the operating system, manage firmware, or use a remote console without waiting on support. Control exists directly at the physical layer, not through a virtualized interface or restricted panel.

Combined with a straightforward client portal and programming interface, management can be fully integrated into your own workflows. Remote assistance is available at any time for physical tasks such as cabling, hardware replacement, or diagnostics.

Unlike managed hosting platforms, there are no restrictions on kernel modifications or network configuration. This environment is built for administrators who require complete access and flexibility — full control with no vendor lock-in and no artificial limits between you and your hardware.

How do you handle compliance requirements?

Compliance is a core requirement in Amsterdam, and all facilities operate under internationally recognized information security and quality standards. By hosting within the Netherlands, infrastructure remains fully governed by European and Dutch regulations, ensuring compliance with data protection and privacy laws while avoiding outside jurisdictions.

For organizations in finance, healthcare, or software services that process sensitive information, we provide formal data processing agreements and maintain complete audit records. For industries that require both regulation and flexibility, Amsterdam offers a jurisdiction that balances legal compliance with operational freedom.

Each facility meets Tier III–equivalent standards, providing redundancy and resilience at every layer. Documentation for relevant certifications and audits can be supplied when needed. Compliance extends beyond the data center itself through continuous monitoring, documented escalation procedures, and transparent service commitments.

Do your servers include DDoS protection?

Yes. All servers in Amsterdam include built-in protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks as part of the standard deployment. This safeguards infrastructure from common network and application-layer threats, ensuring stability and availability even during large-scale incidents.

For clients operating in higher-risk sectors, additional protection tiers are available, providing real-time filtering through specialized security systems. Mitigation is performed directly in-line rather than by blocking traffic entirely, allowing services to remain accessible throughout an attack.

Unlike providers that offer protection only as an optional upgrade, security here is integrated from the start. Combined with a multi-carrier network and diverse routing, malicious traffic is filtered close to the source, reducing latency impact. Detailed logs and reports can be provided for auditing when required — security is part of the foundation, not an afterthought.

What kind of support can I expect in Amsterdam?

Support is provided by engineers located in Amsterdam and available at all times. For urgent matters, critical requests receive immediate attention and rapid response. Hardware replacement and maintenance are handled under guaranteed service procedures, and on-site assistance is available for tasks such as component swaps, console access, or cabling work.

Unlike remote or outsourced call centers, support is local and fully integrated with the data center operations team. Communication channels are direct, allowing real-time coordination during escalations. Assistance covers everything from incident handling to capacity planning and migration guidance, ensuring that support remains proactive rather than reactive.

This level of responsiveness is essential for industries where uptime directly affects revenue. Support here is not a separate service — it is built into the infrastructure commitment.

How quickly can I deploy a server in Amsterdam?

Standard servers are prepared and delivered quickly, depending on the selected configuration. Many common setups are available from existing stock in Amsterdam, allowing new deployments to go live without delay. For more specialized configurations such as systems with advanced graphics processing, expanded memory, or hybrid storage, delivery timelines vary based on component availability.

Once a system is provisioned, access credentials and remote management details are provided immediately so setup can begin at once. Although physical infrastructure requires preparation before activation, proactive inventory management and strong supplier relationships keep deployment efficient and predictable. For projects with strict launch requirements, capacity can also be pre-staged to ensure readiness when needed.

How do you ensure uptime and reliability?

Beyond physical design, uptime is reinforced through 24/7 monitoring. In the rare event of a hardware fault, replacement procedures are initiated immediately to restore service continuity. Combined with full remote management access, this layered approach ensures reliability at both the physical and operational levels.
