Data Centres & Infrastructure
Our servers live in Germany and the United States. We run no servers inside Egypt — these facilities give you a 1 Gbit/s uplink, the operator's DDoS protection and, in Germany, ISO 27001-certified buildings at a price local facilities cannot match. Support and engineering stay in Cairo.

World-Class Infrastructure
Redundant Power
N+1 power infrastructure with UPS and diesel generators ensuring 100% power availability.
Advanced Cooling
Precision cooling systems maintaining optimal temperatures for maximum hardware performance.
Premium Network
Multiple Tier-1 carriers with redundant connections for superior connectivity and speed.
Physical Security
24/7 security personnel, biometric access controls, and comprehensive CCTV monitoring.
Fire Suppression
Advanced VESDA early detection and FM-200 fire suppression systems.
Eco-Friendly
Energy-efficient infrastructure with carbon-neutral initiatives and green certifications.
Certifications & Compliance
The two German data-centre parks hold ISO/IEC 27001 certification and run on electricity from renewable sources, as their operator publishes. The certificates belong to the facilities, not to EGPHP.
The facilities as a spec sheet
One row per attribute and one column per room, so the three buildings can be compared without opening three cards. Entries tagged Operator quote what the infrastructure provider behind these locations publishes on its own website; the rest is what this page already lists above.

The Ashburn building is colocation space, so its operator publishes no power, cooling, security or certification description of it, and none is borrowed from the German parks here. Certifications belong to the facilities that hold them, not to EGPHP.
From your visitor to the rack
Every request to a site hosted in these rooms takes the same six steps. The drawing shows the order; the list says what happens at each step and where this site covers it in more detail.
- A visitor asks for your siteThe browser opens an encrypted connection (TLS) and asks for a page. The first delay is set by distance, which is why the latency bands on this page are worth reading.
- The name becomes an addressThe domain name is looked up in DNS and answered with an IP address. That address decides which building the request travels to. DNS is one of the core infrastructure services the SLA covers.
- Floods are filtered at the edgeBefore a request reaches a server, flood traffic is filtered at the edge of the provider's network. The provider describes automated tools that tell attack types apart, with scrubbing filters for reflection and UDP floods and challenge-response for SYN floods. The SLA lists DDoS mitigation at the network edge and also lists DDoS attacks aimed at one service among its exclusions; server security covers what is left to do beyond the network.
- The request crosses redundant linksBehind the edge the request travels over links to several carriers and, in the German buildings, to internet exchanges such as DE-CIX. The Nuremberg and Ashburn rooms are listed as multi-homed, and the SLA lists redundant routing over multiple upstream providers.
- It reaches the server that runs your planShared hosting, VPS, cloud and dedicated servers run in Falkenstein, cloud servers in Nuremberg, and cloud servers in Ashburn on request. On a hosting plan the page is served by Nginx.
- The data is read from diskHosting plans keep their data on NVMe SSD, and the SLA lists RAID storage and ECC memory among the hardware. How often a plan is backed up, and for how long copies are kept, is written on each plan card.

The same figures the cards above carry, put side by side, because that is the comparison they are for. The lowest band in each row is marked.
| Visitors in | FSN-1 | NBG-1 | ASH-1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | 5-20ms | 5-20ms | 80-100ms |
| Egypt | 60-80ms | 60-85ms | 130-160ms |
| Gulf (GCC) | 90-120ms | 90-125ms | — |
| US East | — | — | <10ms |
These are the bands the facility operators publish for each region. They are not measurements we took, and a real route depends on the visitor's network as much as on the distance.
