DELIVERING DREAMS SINCE 2009

Game servers, VPS, VDS and dedicated servers, hosted in Romania since 2009

DreamServer was founded on 13 June 2009 on one belief: the Romanian hosting market deserved a higher standard. We started with game servers and web hosting and, over the years, built out the full catalogue of dedicated servers, VPS, VDS and private-cloud solutions on infrastructure we own. Today we operate a Bucharest datacenter, hold RIPE NCC LIR membership (AS57050) and host DSIX, the community-driven internet exchange.

OUR STORY

From a Passion Project to a National Operator

It all started on 13 June 2009, when DreamServer was born from a love of technology and the wish to offer something better to the growing Romanian gaming and online-community scene. In the beginning we ran web hosting and game servers on rented capacity from various Romanian ISPs, dreaming big on a modest budget and doing the work that nobody else wanted to do.

By 2011 DreamServer was already a familiar name in Romanian game hosting. We ran more than 100 active game servers, most of them Counter-Strike 1.6, with hundreds, sometimes thousands of players online every evening. Legendary Romanian communities made their home with us: Deathrun, Zombie Plague, Jailbreak, SA-MP and many more. You could feel the energy of the local community pulsing through those servers.

From 2012 to 2020 our fleet was colocated at Voxility, then one of the strongest datacenters in the region. It was the right platform for that chapter, and it let us grow without having to carry the weight of physical infrastructure alone. Then, in 2017, we made the single most important decision in our history: we started building our own datacenter. It took years of late nights, capex, and gradual migrations, but service by service we moved everything into infrastructure we fully own and operate.

Why go through that effort? Because owning the stack end to end is the only way to deliver the quality, performance and security we want for our customers without compromise. Networking, power, cooling, hardware, software, routing, peering, security, support, all under one roof, all built and run by the same team.

Along the way the catalogue evolved. We have offered game servers, web hosting, radio hosting, dedicated servers, VPS, VDS, colocation and plenty more. Today we focus on performance-grade dedicated servers, trustworthy VPS and VDS solutions, RIPE NCC LIR services, technical consulting, web design and custom web platforms. And we went one step further: we built DSIX, our own internet exchange, contributing to a faster, better interconnected Romanian internet.

JOURNEY

Milestones Since 2009

The defining moments that shaped the company we are today.

13 JUNE 2009

DreamServer is founded

Born out of passion for technology. First services: web hosting and game servers for the emerging Romanian gaming scene, running on rented capacity from various ISPs. The budget was small. The ambition was not.

2011

100+ game servers and a booming community

DreamServer becomes a household name in Romanian game hosting. Over 100 active game servers, the overwhelming majority Counter-Strike 1.6, hosting legendary communities like Deathrun, Zombie Plague, Jailbreak and SA-MP. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of players online every single evening. See the 2011 server list ›

2012 → 2020

Colocated at Voxility

For nearly a decade our hardware lived inside Voxility, then one of the leading datacenters in Romania. The partnership let us focus on software, services and customer relationships while the bigger operator carried the physical load. A defining chapter of our story.

2017

Building our own datacenter

The biggest decision in DreamServer history: stop renting and start owning. We broke ground on our own facility in Bucharest. Years of late nights, careful planning, capex commitments and step-by-step migrations followed, every one of them worth it.

2018 → 2020

Migration complete

Service by service, rack by rack, we moved everything onto our own infrastructure. Total control over hardware, networking, power, cooling and support. No dependency on a third party for the things our customers depend on us for.

2021

DSIX is born

DreamServer Internet Exchange launches (AS58218, IX-F ID 939, listed in Euro-IX IXPDB), a community IXP in Bucharest with free peering for our customers and open bilateral or route-server sessions for anyone interested in keeping Romanian traffic local.

TODAY

Full stack Romanian operator

Performance dedicated servers, VPS and VDS, RIPE NCC LIR services (IPv6 leases, ASN registrations, LIR sponsoring, managed LIR, BGP consulting), web design and custom platform development, technical consulting, plus the DSIX fabric. All built and run from Romania, by people who have been in this since 2009.
