Trusted by operators across Europe
A few words from teams running production workloads on HostSlim.
Migrated our database cluster from a hyperscaler and cut our bill by 70%. The network is rock solid and IPMI just works.
Engineering response times are outstanding. Custom build, racked within 24 hours, BGP session up the same day.
Best latency to our Nordic users we have ever measured. Honest pricing and no nonsense.
Real engineers behind the support desk. Not scripts, not bots. We have stayed for years for that reason.
Carrier-neutral, sensible cross-connect pricing, and our racks have not seen a single power blip in two years.
AMS-IX peering means our customers all over Europe see the same low latency. Exactly what we needed.
Managed services that are actually managed. They catch issues before we do.
Privacy-friendly EU jurisdiction, transparent contracts, and the hardware is the real deal. Highly recommended.
A European hosting partner you can trust
Independent, engineer-led, and focused on long-term infrastructure since 2008.
Enterprise bare-metal in Amsterdam
Our Amsterdam dedicated servers are true single-tenant bare-metal servers: no hypervisor, no neighbours, no shared CPU steal. You get full hardware access, ECC memory and enterprise SSD or NVMe storage from day one. Choose from a wide range of Intel Xeon configurations, with AMD EPYC options available on custom orders.
Every bare metal server ships with free IPMI / KVM-over-IP, always-on DDoS protection, and 1 or 10 Gbps uplinks. Whether you are running Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Docker, Kubernetes, a self-hosted database cluster or a high-traffic SaaS, our network is engineered for low latency and consistent throughput across Europe.
We also support customer BGP sessions on AS207083 with RIPE-assigned IP space and BYOIP, ideal for ISPs, network operators and SaaS providers that need their own IP footprint. Need a 10 Gbps dedicated server, dual-PSU build, private VLAN or hybrid setup mixing dedicated, VPS and colocation? Our engineering team will design and operate it for you.
HostSlim has operated enterprise dedicated servers in Europe since 2008. With facilities in both Amsterdam and Tallinn, you can geo-distribute workloads across two carrier-neutral EU regions while staying with a single privacy-friendly provider, fully aligned with GDPR.
