Torchbyte
AS215362: our own network

Short paths, low latency.

Torchbyte runs its own network, AS215362, from the Tier III compliant NXDATA-1 data center in Bucharest, with Nx100G transit uplinks and direct peering that puts major Romanian ISPs a few hops away. Under 5 ms locally, under 15 ms across Eastern and Central Europe.

A peering-first routing philosophy

Nx100G transit uplinks blended with direct peering keep the path to Romanian and Eastern-European users as short as physics allows.

Peering-first routing

Direct peering with major Romanian ISPs and a blend of quality transit keep the path to your players and users as short as possible, often next-hop for local providers.

Native IPv6 everywhere

Every VPS and dedicated server ships with a free /64 IPv6 subnet. Dual-stack is the default, not an add-on.

Customer BGP sessions

Announce your own prefixes over IPv4 and IPv6 with communities and blackhole signalling. IPv6 BGP sessions are free on request, set up within 24–48 hours.

Enterprise Arista hardware

The edge runs on Arista networking equipment over optic-fibre links of at least 10 Gbit/s, engineered against congestion and packet loss.

The facility

NXDATA-1, Bucharest: our single, deliberate home

All Torchbyte infrastructure lives in one carrier-neutral, Tier III compliant data center in Bucharest, Romania. One location, engineered to be excellent: redundant power and cooling at every layer, serious physical security and more than 100 carriers on-net.

Colocating your own hardware? The same facility, racks and network are available from €79.99/month. See colocation.

Built for workloads where milliseconds count

One well-connected Bucharest PoP beats a sprawl of thin edges. For Romania and Eastern/Central Europe, the route is shorter from here.

Game servers

Under 5 ms to major Romanian ISPs means near-LAN ping for local players, and sub-15 ms keeps the rest of Eastern and Central Europe competitive.

Voice & real-time apps

TeamSpeak, FiveM voice and live APIs stay crisp when jitter is low and the route is short.

Business workloads

E-commerce, SaaS and APIs serving Romania and the region respond noticeably faster from Bucharest than from Western-EU metros.

Honest positioning

We are deliberately single-region. If your users are in the US, Asia or Western Europe, a multi-PoP provider will serve them better. For Romania and CEE, we're hard to beat.

Every service, protected by default.

More than 50 DDoS attacks are filtered on our network every day. All inbound traffic traverses an Anycast scrubbing cluster anchored in our Bucharest PoP, with over 1 Tbit/s of mitigation capacity powered by Zeroms.net, so clean traffic keeps flowing to your server while attacks are dropped at the edge.

How our DDoS protection works
  • +1 Tbit/s always-on mitigation via Zeroms.net
  • eBPF/XDP filtering with <1 ms edge decisions
  • Game-aware Zero-Trust profiles for Minecraft, FiveM, Rust & CS2
  • Included free with every service, nothing to configure
