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

- Pterodactyl-based panel with Wingman AI embedded
