European Hosting Infrastructure

Reliable hosting,
operated across Europe.

PapilioHost runs owned hardware in Frankfurt and Amsterdam — KVM virtualization, dedicated servers, GPU workstations, and Ceph storage clusters built for teams that need their stack to hold up under real production load.

We don't sell hosting like a commodity. We design infrastructure for teams who care whether their database stays online during a Friday traffic spike — and who'd rather talk to an engineer than open another support ticket.

F/01

Hardware we publish the specs of.

EPYC 9004 series and Xeon Gold processors. ECC memory across the entire fleet. Gen4 NVMe with sustained 12 GB/s reads. Dedicated cores actually mean dedicated cores — never overcommitted with a neighbor's workload.

Defense engineered, not assumed.

3 Tbps DDoS absorbed at the network edge. Hardware firewalls per cabinet. Per-customer VLAN isolation by default. Optional full-disk encryption with customer-held keys. Cloudflare-fronted control plane. The hard stuff is wired in from day one.

Routing you can audit yourself.

Looking-glass exposed on every location — anyone can run ping or traceroute through our network without an account. We don't null-route prefixes for convenience either. When something goes wrong, you hear it from us first, not from a sudden outage.

Owned hardware, operated in the Netherlands.

We colo our own gear in Amsterdam, peer with AMS-IX, and publish our routing table. Expansion across Europe is planned but not promised — we'd rather get one location right than five locations halfway.

From signup to root SSH in 90 seconds.

STEP 01

Pick your plan

Browse the catalog, select a region. We size each node to the workload, not whatever happens to be on the shelf.

STEP 02

Provision in seconds

Automated KVM deployment from gold images. SSH key injected before first boot. No "give us 2 hours" emails.

STEP 03

Verify the network

Looking-glass shows your prefix advertised. Run our latency probe from your laptop. Real numbers, not marketing copy.

STEP 04

Ship something

Console, API, or Terraform — whatever fits your stack. Scale up, snapshot, clone, migrate. We stay out of your way.

Built on proven open infrastructure.

No proprietary lock-in. Every layer is open-source software that survives if we get hit by a bus tomorrow.

Things teams ask before signing up.

Do you actually own the hardware, or are these reseller boxes?
Every physical node belongs to PapilioHost. We don't resell other providers' infrastructure or run on top of someone else's cloud. The IPMI access is ours, the kernel boot logs are ours, the serial number is on our spreadsheet. When we say bare-metal, we mean the metal we paid for.
What's the actual SLA, in real numbers?
99.95% network availability with credits at 100x the prorated downtime. For the dedicated tier, hardware replacement is contracted at 4 hours. Read the full SLA — no asterisks, no "force majeure includes our own mistakes" clauses.
How do you handle abuse complaints and DMCA?
We process abuse reports through our NOC within 24 hours. We follow EU jurisdiction processes for DMCA-equivalent claims. We will not unilaterally null-route a customer based on an unverified complaint. We tell you about every report we receive.
Can I bring my own IP block (BYOIP) or run my own ASN?
Yes. Submit a Letter of Authorization, we'll set up cross-connect or BGP session. Minimum announcement is /24 IPv4 or /48 IPv6. We can also handle full transit if you need carrier diversity but want a single hand to shake.
What about backup, snapshot, and disaster recovery?
Snapshots are available on demand from the panel — take one before a risky upgrade, restore in seconds if it goes wrong. For long-term offsite backup, every VM can be snapshotted to our backup cluster on a daily schedule. Pricing starts at €1.50 per 10 GB of backup storage per month, with discounts on quarterly and annual plans. Restoration is self-service from the same panel.
Can I migrate from another provider without downtime?
Usually yes. We'll set up the new node, sync the disk via rsync or block-level replication, schedule a 2-minute cutover window, then flip DNS or BGP. For complex migrations, our migration engineer joins your call.
