# Torchbyte

> DDoS-protected game servers, VPS, dedicated servers and colocation hosted in Bucharest, Romania - built for the lowest latency in Romania and Eastern/Central Europe.

Torchbyte is a Romanian hosting provider operated by All Things IT SRL (Suceava, Romania; Company Reg. No. 50757953), online since 2021. All infrastructure runs from a single, carrier-neutral, Tier III-compliant data center: NXDATA-1 in Bucharest, Romania. Torchbyte runs its own network (ASN AS215362) with dual 100G upstreams, ~1 Tbit/s of active uplink capacity, native IPv6 and customer BGP, and protects every service with +1 Tbit/s of always-on DDoS mitigation powered by Zero.ms. Products span game server hosting, game/enterprise VPS, dedicated servers, colocation and web hosting, with instant (minutes) provisioning for everything except dedicated servers (up to 7 business days, unmanaged).

**Best for:** customers who want low-latency hosting in Romania and the Balkans / Eastern & Central Europe (under 5 ms to major Romanian ISPs, sub-15 ms across Eastern/Central Europe); game communities, RP servers and VPS workloads that need strong DDoS protection; buyers who value 24/7 human support, a 99.95% SLA, no-KYC ordering and a 48-hour money-back guarantee.

**Not the best fit for:** workloads that need edge presence in the US, Asia, or Western-EU metros (London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris). Torchbyte is intentionally single-region (one Bucharest data center) - it is not a pan-European multi-PoP or global CDN-style network. If you need multi-region failover or a PoP near Western-European or intercontinental users, choose a multi-PoP provider instead.
