Under the hood

From payment to running server, without human hands.

Six steps that always run the same way. If something goes wrong, the step simply starts over and ends up in exactly the same place. No manual step anyone can forget.

01
Your address is reserved
From our own network administration, behind a lock. Two orders at the same moment can never receive the same ip address.
02
Your server gets its own identity
We record it before the machine exists. If things go wrong after that, you are left with at most a registration without a server, never a server nobody knows about.
03
It is cloned from our standard template
We build and test that template on a separate machine, outside production. Before use we strip the ssh host keys and machine-id from the image, so your server is the only one that ever generates them.
04
Network and specifications are configured
At boot the server asks who it is. The answer comes from our administration, so no copy of your data is lying around anywhere to go stale.
05
It boots on our own hardware
In a Tier 3+ data center in the Netherlands, on our own network.
06
We check that it actually runs
Only when the server answers for itself do you get your credentials.
What it runs on
Open source foundation
Mature components we do not want to build ourselves. Our own code is the glue between them, not the foundation.
One administration
Order, invoice, ip address and running server are the same process. Not three systems someone has to keep in sync by hand.
A dedicated build pipeline
We build the template on a separate machine, outside production, and test it before it is used anywhere.
Settings in one place
Your server asks who it is. Its identity follows from where the question comes from, not from what the server claims about itself.
Our own network AS211588
Fully redundant, RIPE member with our own address space.

Because almost everything is standard open source, we can explain, repair and replace every layer ourselves. You are never locked in.

Background

What exactly is a VPS?

A physical server is divided into multiple virtual servers. Your VPS has its own compute, its own memory and its own NVMe storage, shielded from the rest. You get the control of your own machine without the cost of one.

In practice that means: you pick your own operating system, install what you need and manage it like a regular Linux machine. What you buy stays yours, including during peak moments. A busy neighbour taking down your server does not exist.

When is a VPS enough and when is it not?
Why not a hyperscaler

Four reasons, none of them marketing.

Predictable costs

A fixed amount per month. No rate per gigabyte of outbound traffic and no bill you only understand afterwards.

Data in the Netherlands

Tier 3+ data centers in the Netherlands. You know which building, which rack and which network, and it is verifiable.

You are never locked in

An open source foundation and plain Linux. If you want to leave, you take your data and your install with you.

An engineer, not a script

You talk to someone who built the platform themselves. Not someone asking whether you have tried rebooting.
