Our own network, end to end

AS55285 is the autonomous system Serverside operates end to end. We don't resell capacity on someone else's network: we hold our own ASN, register our own routes, and set our own peering policy. That gives us direct control over routing decisions, direct peering relationships with the networks our traffic touches, and one team accountable when something at the network layer needs attention, rather than a support ticket relayed to an upstream provider.

Everything on this page is independently checkable. Our ASN, IRR AS-SET, and peering records are public on PeeringDB and bgp.tools, and our looking glass runs live ping, traceroute, and BGP lookups from every metro we deploy servers in. You can test a path from where you sit before you order a server, not after.

Points of presence

Seven network metros across North America and Europe, with dedicated servers available in five of them today.

What powers our network

Included with every dedicated server on AS55285 by default, not sold as a separate add-on.

Redundant, blended transit

Servers connect through dual uplinks on diverse paths through our fabric, blended with multiple transit providers, so a single failed link or session does not take a server offline by itself.

Settlement-free peering, open policy

We peer at 6 internet exchanges under an open policy registered on PeeringDB, keeping more traffic on direct paths instead of routed through a third party.

Always-on DDoS protection

Mitigation runs inline at the network edge on every server by default. There is nothing to buy separately and nothing to switch on before you go live.

How the filter works

IPv6, dual-stack by default

Every server ships with IPv4 and IPv6 enabled together, so IPv6 is not a request you file or a feature you pay extra for.

BGP sessions & BYOIP

Run your own routing: we support BGP sessions for customers who want to announce their own IP space through our network instead of using address space we assign.

Private networking

Connect your own servers to each other over our internal network instead of the public internet, keeping database replication and node-to-node traffic off a public interface.

24/7 monitoring & NOC

Our network operations team watches routing and connectivity around the clock, not just during business hours.

A growing global footprint

Seven network metros across North America and Europe today, with additional points of presence on the way.

DDoS protection

Every server on AS55285 includes DDoS mitigation at the network edge. It is part of the network layer, not a separate product line: there is nothing to add to a cart and nothing to switch on after the server is already live.

Mitigation sits inline, in front of the server, filtering attack traffic before it reaches the host. Legitimate traffic keeps flowing without you having to repoint DNS or stand up a separate scrubbing endpoint. Every metro has its own Corero NTD1100 appliance in the path, so an attack is dropped in the metro it lands in.

Because the filter is already in the path there is no redirect to wait for: attack traffic is dropped in under a second.

Because protection is built into the network rather than layered on afterward, it covers a server from the moment it's provisioned, including during OS installs and first boot.

  • In short
  • Included on every server automatically, no opt-in or add-on fee
  • Filtering happens inline at every location, ahead of your host
  • Attack traffic dropped in under a second, with no redirect
  • No DNS change, proxy, or separate scrubbing endpoint required

Redundancy & routing

Servers connect through dual uplinks, each landing on a different switch, so one failed link or interface does not take a server offline on its own.

From there, traffic crosses diverse paths through our network fabric rather than a single chokepoint. We reach the rest of the internet through a blend of transit providers and settlement-free peering, so no single upstream is the only way to reach a given destination. Every one of those transit uplinks is a 100 Gbit/s port or faster.

When a path fails, whether an uplink, a fabric link, or an upstream session, routing reconverges onto the next available path automatically.

  • In short
  • Dual uplinks on separate switches
  • Diverse paths across the network fabric
  • Blended transit plus settlement-free peering, on 100 Gbit/s+ uplinks
  • Automatic reconvergence onto another path on failure

IP addressing, BGP & IPv6

Every server ships dual-stacked, with IPv4 and IPv6 enabled together by default, so IPv6 is not a separate request or a paid add-on.

If you run your own routing, we support BGP sessions with customers who want to announce their own IP space through our network (BYOIP) instead of using address space we assign.

What we announce is registered, not just claimed: our IRR AS-SET, AS55285:AS-ALL, lists the prefixes we originate, checkable against the same public IRR and PeeringDB records any route-server lookup would use.

  • In short
  • Dual-stack IPv4 + IPv6 on every server by default
  • BGP sessions available for customers announcing their own IP space
  • Routes registered under AS55285:AS-ALL in the IRR

Test it before you buy

Our public looking glass runs ping, traceroute, and BGP lookups from each of our server metros, so you can check latency and path from where you sit before ordering a server.

Every live metro in the footprint table above links straight to its looking-glass location, or open the looking glass and pick one yourself.

Network FAQ

Something not covered? Ask the network team directly.

AS55285 is the autonomous system Serverside operates to connect its dedicated servers to the internet. It's registered on PeeringDB as a network service provider (NSP) with an open peering policy, and every server we provision uses it by default.
