Game server hosting in Frankfurt
Our network edge is in Frankfurt — the densest internet exchange in Europe (DE-CIX). For European players, this means sub-30ms ping across Western and Central Europe, and sub-50ms even from the UK, Iberia and the Nordics.
Why Frankfurt is the best EU game hosting location
Frankfurt is not the closest city to every European player, but it is the most-connected. The DE-CIX internet exchange peers with virtually every European ISP, which means traffic from Madrid to Frankfurt or from Stockholm to Frankfurt usually takes fewer network hops than going to a "closer" but worse-connected location.
That matters for game traffic, where small consistent latency beats raw distance. A Madrid → Frankfurt ping of 35ms with low jitter feels better than Madrid → Madrid 25ms with packet loss.

Frequently asked questions
Why Frankfurt specifically?
Frankfurt is home to DE-CIX, the largest internet exchange point in the world by peak traffic. Almost every major European ISP peers there. That means short, direct routes to most European players.
What ping should I expect from my country?
Germany / Netherlands / Belgium / Czech / Austria: 5–20ms. France / Switzerland / Poland / Italy: 15–30ms. UK / Spain / Sweden / Norway / Croatia / Serbia: 25–50ms. Greece / Portugal / Finland / Turkey: 40–70ms.
Are servers physical or virtual?
Game plans run inside Docker containers on dedicated bare-metal Ryzen 9 7950X3D / 9950X nodes. CPU and RAM are hard-isolated per server.
Is the Frankfurt edge GDPR-safe?
Yes. EU-based hosting under German law. All data stays in the EU. No US data exports.
