Network & Infrastructure

Our Infrastructure<\/h2>

8Bit Hosting operates its own dedicated hardware infrastructure based in the UK. Our nodes run on enterprise-grade servers we own and manage, delivering excellent low-latency connectivity across the UK and Europe.<\/p>

Network & Latency<\/h2>

• UK latency:<\/strong> typically 5–25ms from most UK locations<\/li>
• European latency:<\/strong> typically 10–50ms<\/li>
• Network capacity:<\/strong> multi-gigabit uplinks with redundant routing<\/li> <\/ul>

  Check live uptime and any ongoing incidents on our Status Page<\/a>.<\/p>

  DDoS Protection<\/h2>

  All services benefit from enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation<\/strong> — protecting your server from network attacks with no setup required on your end:<\/p>

  • Always-on<\/strong> — no configuration needed on your end<\/li>
  • High-capacity scrubbing<\/strong> — capable of absorbing large-scale volumetric attacks<\/li>
  • Automatic scrubbing<\/strong> — malicious traffic is filtered and clean traffic forwarded with minimal impact<\/li> <\/ul>

    While our protection handles the vast majority of attacks, extremely large or sustained attacks may occasionally cause brief impact. All network-level incidents are communicated in real time via our Status Page<\/a> and Discord.<\/p>

    Hardware<\/h2>

    Our game server nodes run on dedicated hardware with:<\/p>

    • High-frequency CPUs optimised for game server workloads<\/li>
    • NVMe SSD storage for fast world and map loading<\/li>
    • ECC RAM for stability and reliability<\/li> <\/ul>

      Backups<\/h2>

      Automated backups are included with all plans and stored on a separate dedicated backup server<\/strong> — completely independent from the game server nodes. Backups run daily and are retained based on your plan tier. You can also trigger on-demand backups at any time from the panel's Backups tab.<\/p>

      Uptime Commitment<\/h2>

      We guarantee 99.9% monthly uptime<\/strong> for our infrastructure. If we fall short, you automatically receive account credit — no need to ask. Full details and the credit table are in our Service Level Agreement<\/a>.<\/p>

      Maintenance & Incidents<\/h2>

      Scheduled maintenance is announced at least 24 hours in advance<\/strong> via our Status Page<\/a> and Discord. Unplanned incidents are posted there in real time as they happen.<\/p>
