NL-IX Peering Now Available at Our NL Location

We would like to announce that NL-ix peering is now available at our Equinix data center in the Netherlands. First, let's take a closer look at what NL-ix is and how it works, as well as what changes users can expect if they have services from BlueVPS located in the Netherlands.

What is NL-ix?

NL-ix is an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) based in Europe. Think of it as a central hub where different networks meet to exchange data. Instead of your traffic taking a long detour through multiple networks, it can go directly through NL-ix, making everything faster and more efficient. By connecting multiple data centers and internet providers, NL-ix allows them to share traffic directly, cutting out unnecessary middlemen.

Benefits BlueVPS Customers Will Experience with NL-ix Peering

1. Faster Traffic and Lower Latency

Since traffic is exchanged through NL-ix and data flows directly between networks and data centers without additional intermediaries, everything becomes faster and more stable.

2. Improved Network Reliability

Direct connection to NL-ix reduces the risk of network congestion, as traffic follows a more optimal route.

3. Optimized International Traffic

For users with IP addresses in the Netherlands, exchanging traffic through NL-ix provides a more stable connection and faster access to European resources.

4. The availability of local NL ISPs, including Ziggo and T-Mobile, has significantly improved, providing BlueVPS users with more reliable and faster connectivity.

Let’s clearly compare what has changed after connecting NL-ix to Equinix NL.
