AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange) is one of the world's largest internet exchanges by traffic volume. It enables direct peering between networks, which means shorter paths and lower latency for traffic between connected networks.

EU Infrastructure in Amsterdam

Q: Where are QDE servers located?

All QDE VPS instances are hosted in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Our infrastructure connects to AMS-IX and multiple upstream providers for strong European connectivity.

Q: How is latency to other European cities?

Amsterdam is centrally positioned in Western Europe. Latency to major European cities is generally low due to direct peering and premium upstream providers, though exact numbers vary by destination and network path.

Q: Is hosting in the Netherlands subject to EU regulations?

Yes. The Netherlands is an EU member state. Infrastructure hosted here operates within EU regulatory frameworks, including GDPR for data protection.

Q: Can I serve users outside Europe from Amsterdam?

Yes. Amsterdam has strong connectivity to North America and Asia through premium upstream providers. While latency is lowest within Europe, the network reaches globally.

Q: Do you have data centers in other locations?

Currently, all QDE infrastructure is in Amsterdam. We focus on doing one location well rather than spreading thin across multiple regions.

Why Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a major European network hub — not because of marketing, but because of infrastructure. AMS-IX, dense upstream peering, and a mature data center ecosystem make it one of the strongest hosting locations in Europe.

AMS-IX PeeringAmsterdam Internet Exchange is one of the world's largest by traffic volume. Direct peering with major networks means shorter paths and lower latency for traffic across Europe.
Central European PositionAmsterdam sits at the heart of Western Europe's network topology. Strong connectivity to Germany, France, the UK, Scandinavia, and the rest of the continent.
Mature Hosting MarketThe Netherlands has a well-established hosting ecosystem with reliable power, established data center infrastructure, and a deep pool of upstream providers.
Premium Upstream ProvidersMultiple tier-1 upstream connections ensure your traffic takes efficient paths. Fewer hops between your server and your users means faster responses.

European Connectivity

Strong connectivity isn't about claiming the lowest latency number — it's about consistent, reliable network paths to the destinations that matter for your workload.

Strong EU ConnectivityDirect peering and premium transit deliver consistent, low-latency connections across Europe. Your applications respond quickly for users in the EU.
Reach Beyond EuropePremium upstream providers offer fast routes to North America and Asia. Amsterdam's position as a network hub means good global reachability from a single European location.
10 Gbps Network UplinkEvery VPS connects to a 10 Gbps port with 4 TB to 32 TB monthly bandwidth depending on your plan. No artificial throttling within your allocation.
IPv4 + IPv6 IncludedEvery VPS gets a dedicated IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 subnet. Dual-stack networking is standard — no extra fees for basic connectivity.

Stable Infrastructure Environment

Infrastructure reliability depends on more than hardware. The jurisdiction, regulatory environment, and physical infrastructure ecosystem all matter for long-term hosting stability.

Built for Real Use Cases

Amsterdam-based infrastructure serves a wide range of workloads. Here's how location translates to practical benefits for common VPS use cases.

Websites & Web Apps

Serve European visitors from infrastructure that's close to them. Lower latency means faster page loads, better user experience, and improved search engine performance.

Databases

Run MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and MongoDB close to your application servers. Network latency between your app and database directly affects query response times.

Self-Hosted Applications

Host Nextcloud, Matrix, Gitea, and other self-hosted software on EU-based infrastructure. Keep your data in a GDPR jurisdiction by design.

Development & Staging

Run staging environments, CI runners, and dev servers in the same location as your production infrastructure. Consistent network behavior across environments.

VPN & Proxy Servers

Deploy WireGuard or OpenVPN on Amsterdam-based infrastructure. Strong European connectivity means fast VPN tunnels for EU-based users and teams.

SaaS & API Backends
