Frankfurt Dedicated Servers

Frankfurt is the most important networking city in continental Europe. It carries more interconnection traffic than anywhere else on the continent, and the density of networks meeting there means traffic from a Frankfurt server reaches most European ISPs directly, in very few hops, rather than being handed through intermediaries first.

Its position in the middle of the continent is the other half of the story. No major European market is far away, which makes Frankfurt the strongest single location for serving Europe as a whole rather than one country in particular.

Frankfurt offers excellent latency throughout Germany and the surrounding countries, along with strong coverage of central, eastern, and southern Europe including Amsterdam, Paris, Zurich, Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, and Milan.

Compared with London, Frankfurt gives up a little on UK and transatlantic traffic in exchange for meaningfully better reach across the rest of the continent.

A Frankfurt server keeps your data physically inside Germany and inside the European Union, which is the simplest way to meet EU GDPR data residency expectations without leaning on transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses.

Germany also applies one of the stricter national data protection regimes in the EU, which is frequently exactly what enterprise and public sector customers have in mind when they specify a European location in a contract.

Applications serving customers across the EU where one central location beats several regional ones; German-language websites, ecommerce, and SaaS; game server networks for central and eastern European players; and any workload carrying EU data residency requirements.

It also works well as the European node of a multi-region deployment, pairing naturally with a North American location such as Miami.

Every Frankfurt dedicated server includes DDoS protection as standard. Filtering is handled upstream by Path Network, our transit provider, so attack traffic is scrubbed before it reaches your machine. There is nothing extra to buy and nothing to enable.

A dedicated server is an entire physical machine leased to a single customer. Unlike shared hosting or a VPS, nothing on the box is divided between tenants: every CPU core, every gigabyte of memory, and all of the storage and network capacity belong to you alone.

That means no noisy neighbors competing for disk and network I/O, no hypervisor sitting between your workload and the hardware, and complete freedom to configure the machine exactly the way your application needs it, right down to the operating system, kernel, and networking stack.

Our fleet is built on modern AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors alongside Intel Core options, paired with DDR4 or DDR5 memory and solid state storage.

High clock speeds on the Ryzen platform suit game servers and other latency-sensitive workloads that are bound by single-thread performance, while EPYC builds with higher core counts and larger memory ceilings are the better fit for virtualization, container hosts, and parallel compute. The configurations listed above reflect what is currently available at our Frankfurt facility.

Yes. If none of the listed configurations fit, we can quote a custom build with a different CPU, more memory, additional or larger drives, extra IP addresses, or a specific network setup.

Custom builds depend on parts availability at our Frankfurt facility, so lead times vary with the configuration. Get in touch with what you have in mind and we will tell you what is realistic and how quickly we can turn it around.
