NETWORK CONNECTION
Servers hosted in Europe
At Server4You, we make a deal of having the ideal connection.The data center datadock is directly connected to the European IP network of PlusServer AG. In a fully redundant MPLS ring structure with a total capacity of 550 GBit, this backbone connects the data center on one path directly to Frankfurt and also on another redundant path over Paris and Brussels. Thus, it is ensured all the time that all data is transferred to the Internet with the highest performance and availability.
Servers hosted in the USA
Our US data center is situated in a central location of the United States. This provides for the best possible transfer rates from the West to the East Coast. Moreover, our system selects automatically the fastest route for your data. And if the backbone of a carrier should fail sometime, the system will quickly switch to another one in order to secure the availability of your server without downtime.
The global PlusServer IP Network is defined as Autonomous System (AS) Numbers 34088 and 8972. These AS include all national and international connections to PlusServer. The IP Network is based on an optical carrier network that has a capacity of several hundred GBit per second.
The connection to important IXPs (Internet Exchange Points) in Europe, Asia and America allows PlusServer, together with other partners, to operate public peerings with all important IP carriers, ISPs and content suppliers, as well as many other private peering points.
Dedicated Servers
Your choice when selecting a Dedicated Server should prioritize high performance and availability. Better still, is a decision that encompasses both these elements at a fair price. No problem for Server4You, because each Dedicated Server has its own 100 Mbit switch port which it is connected directly to our own ultra-fast Gigabit backbone. That way, we can deliver a high performance average as well as the guaranteed availability of at least 99% (99.9% for ProServers). And due to excellent Ping times, our Dedicated Servers are also ideal as game servers.
