About · Our story

The first hosting company with AI built into the panel

WingNode was founded in 2024 to fix a specific problem: hosting panels stopped innovating around 2018. Wingman AI is the result — an LLM-powered co-pilot that lives inside the panel and actually understands what your server is doing.

Why we built Wingman AI

Game server panels — Multicraft, Pterodactyl, NodePanel — solved the 2010s problem of "give customers a web UI instead of SSH." That was the right thing then. But the panel never really got smarter. You’d still paste your crash log into a forum search, still guess at JVM flags, still ask a tier-1 support agent to copy a wiki article back to you.

Wingman AI is the LLM-powered assistant we wished existed when we ran our own community servers. It reads logs, recommends mods, tunes JVM flags, runs RCON commands — all from the panel, in plain language.

What makes us different

  • Wingman AI is in-house, not a third-party widget. The assistant is embedded directly into the file manager, console, and configurator. It has read access to your server state.
  • Custom L7 anti-DDoS. We don’t license mitigation; we wrote the L7 layer ourselves. That lets us patch attack patterns specific to game protocols faster than any vendor.
  • Frankfurt edge first. DE-CIX is the densest IX in the world. We optimised for European latency before scaling globally — not the other way around.
  • DDR5 on every plan. Not "premium tier only." Every plan, every tier.

Our infrastructure

  • AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 9950X — dedicated cores per server
  • DDR5 RAM across every plan
  • NVMe Gen4 SSD storage
  • 10 Gbps uplinks with redundancy, peered into DE-CIX
  • L4 DDoS via GCore (160+ Tbps global capacity)
  • L7 DDoS: our own stack, tuned for Minecraft, FiveM, Rust, ARK and Source-engine protocols
  • Pterodactyl-based panel with Wingman AI embedded
