Frequently asked questions
How does velia.net charge for servers?+
velia.net lists monthly as its billing model, so charges follow a full billing cycle rather than metered usage. That suits steady, always-on machines like game servers. Short experiments therefore cost more than a burst of use would, so size the first machine carefully.
What does outbound traffic cost on velia.net?+
Bandwidth terms are easy to read: No egress fees. For a title that ships frequent patches or large asset downloads, that keeps hosting costs simpler to forecast than a per-gigabyte line item. Hardware itself is bare metal, so the compute side is dedicated.
Which regions does velia.net cover?+
velia.net operates in Germany, FR and US across 6 locations. That is a moderate footprint rather than a global one, so it is worth checking that it covers the players you want to serve. Peering at DE-CIX Frankfurt helps latency for European audiences.
Is DDoS protection included with velia.net servers?+
DDoS protection is part of the offering, so it is included rather than sold as an add-on. That matters for game servers, which velia.net names as its use case. It pairs with the dedicated bare metal machines and an uptime commitment of 99.9%.
Which GPUs can I rent from velia.net?+
velia.net lists NVIDIA H200 for accelerator work, and on the network side No egress fees. Moving model or dataset traffic in and out therefore adds no separate transfer bill, which matters for training jobs. Capacity is a single listed model, so check it is available.
How do I reach velia.net support?+
Support runs on email, so email is the route for order questions and technical issues. Chat and phone are not among the listed support channels, which is worth weighing if a game server goes down during an event. Keep your own monitoring and runbooks close.
What uptime does velia.net commit to?+
velia.net publishes an uptime commitment of 99.9% on its services. Paired with bare metal hardware, that targets workloads needing steady capacity rather than elastic ones. It is a modest figure, so replication and failover matter for servers you cannot afford to lose.
Who is velia.net suited to?+
velia.net is aimed at operators running game servers, which it names as its use case, and at AI work needing NVIDIA H200. Dedicated bare metal hardware suits teams that want fixed capacity instead of shared virtual instances. Coverage across DE, FR and US decides it for many European shops.
