On any Server Trafficweb plan you can pick the data centre that best fits your audience, latency and compliance needs — Netherlands and Ukraine with carrier-grade global routes.
The server location you choose shapes three important things at once: how fast your users see your service, what legal framework governs your data, and how reliable the underlying network is. Server Trafficweb operates from two carefully selected offshore locations — Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Kyiv in Ukraine — and each has clear strengths for different workloads. The Server Location Choices add-on simply formalises that choice: pick a location for every new dedicated server, VPS or cloud instance, and migrate between locations later if your audience or compliance picture shifts.
The Netherlands facility sits in one of the densest interconnection markets in the world. AMS-IX peering, multi-homed Tier-1 transit through NTT, Cogent, Telia and Arelion, and excellent submarine cable connectivity make this location the default choice for services targeting Western Europe, North America and the Middle East. Privacy-friendly Dutch law combined with the EU regulatory framework gives data protection a strong, predictable legal footing — without being constrained by the more aggressive enforcement regimes that have appeared in some other EU jurisdictions in recent years.
The Ukraine facility runs on DTAG-grade backbone with carrier-grade upstream that delivers consistently low latency to Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Ukrainian law is notably operator-friendly: takedowns require formal, legally valid processes rather than templated DMCA notices. That posture makes Ukraine an excellent choice for streaming, IPTV and content-heavy services where automated abuse of the DMCA process is a real operational risk elsewhere. Pair this location with our IPTV-tuned servers or streaming servers for a complete operator-friendly stack.
Both locations are connected via our internal network, so multi-site deployments, cross-region backups and geographic disaster recovery are practical without expensive third-party transit. Many customers run production in one location and disaster recovery in the other for genuine geographic redundancy; others split user traffic geographically for the best per-user latency. The benefits compound across the stack: pair Server Location Choices with hardware upgrades, bandwidth upgrades and additional IPs to tune every aspect of the deployment to your real-world audience and compliance picture.
Key Benefits
Netherlands (Amsterdam) and Ukraine (Kyiv) cover Western and Eastern European audiences with excellent global reach — the right two choices for offshore hosting today.
Tier-1 transit blends from NTT, Cogent, Telia, Arelion and GTT, plus AMS-IX peering and DTAG-grade backbone deliver consistently low latency to a global audience.
Dutch and Ukrainian regulations protect legitimate operators from templated takedowns and surveillance overreach — a meaningful difference for content-heavy and privacy-sensitive workloads.
EU framework in the Netherlands and operator-friendly law in Ukraine. Pick the legal posture that genuinely fits your business and customers, not the one your hosting provider forces on you.
Hosting close to your audience delivers faster, smoother experiences — measurable in conversion rates, bounce rates and engagement metrics across every kind of service.
Run production in one location and disaster recovery in the other, or split traffic by region for the best per-user latency. Internal network connects both locations.
IPs in each location geolocate accurately to their real country, so user experiences depending on geo (currency, language, regional content) behave predictably.
If your audience or compliance picture shifts, our team helps migrate workloads between Netherlands and Ukraine with minimal downtime — no painful provider switch required.
Built for real workloads
Choose the Netherlands for the lowest latency to UK, Germany, France, Benelux and Nordics audiences — and for direct, dense peering across Western Europe.
Choose Ukraine for the lowest latency to the Baltics, Eastern Europe and parts of the Middle East, with operator-friendly law for content services.
Run production in one location and DR in the other for genuine geographic redundancy — a regional incident cannot take down both copies of your business.
Split users by region with DNS or anycast in front of region-specific origins to deliver the best per-user latency without sacrificing consistency.
Simple. Predictable. Powerful.
Map where your users are now and where you expect to grow in 12–24 months. Latency to those regions is usually the first criterion that matters operationally.
Think about data residency, takedown posture, mail deliverability and the regulatory framework that genuinely fits your business and customer expectations.
Order in the Netherlands or Ukraine — or both, for hybrid and DR deployments across our internal network. We help you weigh the trade-offs.
Servers in the chosen location are provisioned with appropriate IPs (which geolocate to the country), bandwidth options and peering for your audience.
If your audience shifts or compliance changes, our team helps migrate workloads between locations with minimal downtime — your provider relationship continues.
