Belgium Moves to DataPacket for DDoS Protection
Lily · January 15, 2025 · 3 min read
What Changed
We switched our Belgium servers to a new network provider called DataPacket. They're handling our DDoS protection and connections now. This migration represents a significant upgrade to our infrastructure in the European region, ensuring better service quality for all our Belgium-based customers.
Why We Made the Switch
DataPacket has better network connections across Europe. Their DDoS protection is solid and handles attacks without affecting your server's performance. After extensive testing and evaluation, we determined that DataPacket's infrastructure would provide the most reliable and performant experience for our users.
The provider offers state-of-the-art security features, including advanced traffic filtering and real-time threat mitigation, which will keep your services running smoothly even during attack attempts.
What This Means for You
If you're running a Minecraft server hosting instance in Belgium:
- Better connections: Players in Europe should see improved latency and more stable connections to your servers.
- Better DDoS protection: Attacks get filtered automatically without affecting your server's performance or availability.
- Nothing to do: Your server works the same way. No configuration changes needed from you.
Migration Complete
All Belgium servers are now on DataPacket's network. If you saw any brief connection issues recently, that was the switch happening. Everything's stable now and running on the new infrastructure.
Our team has been monitoring the migration closely, and we're pleased to report that the transition was successful with minimal disruption to services.
Will This Cost More?
No. Pricing hasn't changed. You'll continue to pay the same rates as before while benefiting from the improved infrastructure and enhanced DDoS protection.
Other Locations
This infrastructure upgrade is specific to Belgium servers only. Other locations aren't affected and will continue operating on their current network providers. For example, see our recent hardware upgrades in Singapore and Australia. We're always evaluating ways to improve our infrastructure across all regions.
