We wanted to update our valueed clients on current ongoing's in our operation and have some awesome news to share, as well to
share our plans for expansion in 2026 and whats to be expected on new VPS packages we have planned.

1. Major Network Upgrade (Finishing Nov 21, 2025)

Next week until Friday 21th November we will announce network upgrade.
We are expanding our backbone and peering capacity with new 100G connections across several IX platforms:

  • 100G FRYS-IX

  • 100G ERA-IX

  • 100G INTER-IX

  • 100G AMS-IX + GNM-IX (via partner port)

This allows us to offload 30–40% of bandwidth through direct peering, improving latency and overall traffic flow to offload some load off our transit links.

We are also adding 100G TATA Telecom uplinks with a 100G commit and plan additional upstreams throughout 2026.

Current transit includes:

  • 3 × 100G GTT (100G utilized)

  • 2 × 100G Skylink

With our own POP at NIKHEF, we’re also expanding PNI partnerships to further strengthen peering.

2. Dedicated Servers: Moving to 10/40/100G Standards

In the next Stage of Network upgrades, we are going to upgrade some Racks that are still having Servers with 1Gbit Ports.
While we have since 2024 already a Standard of minimum of 10Gbit per Server for Servers we setup after this time, we want to get away from offering 1Gbit Servers.
We will upgrade all 1Gbit Dedicated Servers to our 10/40Gbit Standard. Existing customers who have some of those 1Gbit servers will receive 10Gbit Upgrade free of charge on request.
All new Orders latest 01. January 2026 will come with 10Gbit, 40Gbit Ports as our most offerings.
We except to start this upgrades beginning December so we will have starting 2026 ONLY 10Gbit Servers or above. 1Gbit Ports in our network will be a thing of the past.
We already purchased needed equipment and are planning the roll-out.

3. New High-Performance VPS Plans (Intel & AMD)

We are planning to announce new VPS Plans which will start from 2Gbit to 25Gbit.
Moreover we also want to place a much lower number of customers per Node to offer good amount of quality and service.
Newer hardware will be used together with SSD/NVME to choose from.
Due so, this will be reasonable priced and customers will be able use their bandwidth.
A Budget VPS line is not planned.
VPS Nodes will be connected with minimum 2x 40Gbit LACP Uplinks to serve this demand. We will announce short maintenance 10-20min for every VPS Node once its time as most VPS nodes.
We except this to be done arround January along with announcing our new VPS/VDS plans.
We run on 1Gbit copper or 10Gbit SFP+ NICs. This NICs need to be swapped with QSFP NICs and transceiver to fit 2x40G / or 100Gbit uplink per VPS node.

Currently we are evaluating to get away from Virtualizor and also start giving customers the better VirtFusion. At this moment we are checking to realize this with no or minimum impact at all.

4. Expanding Our Support Team

We are working to expand Support Staff to provide faster support for our valueed clients.

We thank you for being our loyal customer!
