Who we are: a maritime data fleet that became a hosting company

We are Euronodes Ltd, registered in Cyprus, a RIPE NCC member with our own network, AS199053. Our biggest deployment is in the ONI datacenter in Lisbon, the second one is in Prague, with smaller presence in Frankfurt and Madrid. We sell VPS, dedicated servers, storage and colocation.

We did not start in hosting

Our background is a large data operation for ship insurance. Then a virus of unknown origin made cruise ships sit idle in port for weeks, and the insurers had to pay. At least that is how we understood the loss. What we understood very well was the result: a fleet of enterprise servers with nothing to do.

So we put them to work.

The fleet was not built to be "low end"

It was built for a different purpose: to stay up and serve forever. Most of it still serves the maritime industry, which is also why Cyprus and Portugal make sense, on both ends of the Mediterranean.

That shapes what we sell:

  • Enterprise Xeon only. No i7, i9, Ryzen, i5 or Celeron. Our fleet must stay uniform and ready to serve both jobs at any moment.
  • Big nodes. ZFS arrays of SSDs, hundreds of gigabytes of ARC cache, and a lot of RAM per node.
  • Shared Ceph storage inside the cluster, for VMs that need to survive a dead host.

We know that today everyone counts GHz. We are driving a Scania into the Porsche club, and we are fine with that: a truck is built to carry the load all year, not to win the sprint.

We are not the cheapest. Except when we are.

We never aimed to be the cheapest provider. Then in April 2026 most of the market raised prices, and we suddenly found ourselves among the cheapest. Sit on the river bank long enough, and you know the rest of the proverb.

Why Lisbon and Prague

  • Lisbon is our main location. It is the best choice for the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East, and for anything that moves a lot of traffic.
  • Prague covers Central and Eastern EU and the Balkans. From Portugal, as soon as the cables cross France and go east, latency grows and jitter increases, especially towards the Balkans.

Before Prague we rented racks in a large German datacenter. We liked it, but as soon as you wanted anything of quality, the prices became absurd, and so did the electricity.

Bring your own hardware

Big providers have a simple model: they take your order, lock you into a 12 or 24 month contract, and buy exactly the server you ordered from a refurbished-server shop. The markup between buying and leasing is the business.

We offer the honest version of that. Buy the hardware you actually want, as cheap as you can find it in the EU, and send it to us. We rack it and give it power, network, IP addresses and remote hands when you need them. Colocation starts at 69 EUR per month for 1U plus electricity, and the rest of the infrastructure (switches, routers, transit) is already there.

You get the server you need at retail price. We get colocation revenue without the capital risk.

We introduced ourselves on LowEndSpirit, and we answer questions on Reddit as u/Euronodes. Or just open a ticket: the people who answer are the people who run the servers.
