The hosting provider Sprintbox has announced the launch of a new international location for its virtual dedicated servers. VDS instances are now available in the Netherlands, hosted in Amsterdam. The new site complements the company’s existing Russian location in Saint Petersburg and adds a European option for projects that prefer their infrastructure a little closer to international traffic flows.
Amsterdam as a Gateway to International Traffic
The choice of Amsterdam is hardly accidental. The city is one of Europe’s largest internet hubs, widely used for projects that rely on stable connectivity, predictable routing, and access to international services. According to Sprintbox, VDS in the Netherlands are intended for websites, applications, and online stores targeting foreign audiences, as well as for services that need smooth interaction with overseas APIs and platforms.
Another practical use case is partial infrastructure relocation outside Russia. In this scenario, Amsterdam serves as a neutral and well-connected point, without requiring architectural acrobatics or complicated network workarounds.
VDS Plans in the Netherlands
The Dutch VDS lineup is based on servers powered by AMD EPYC processors. The pricing structure is compact and transparent, without creative arithmetic hidden between the lines.

Dollar amounts are approximate and calculated using an exchange rate of about 90 RUB per $1 as of 24 December 2025.
Sprintbox notes that hosting in the Netherlands is more expensive than in Russia, which is presented as a matter of geography rather than philosophy. For reference, a similar entry-level plan hosted in Saint Petersburg costs noticeably less.
More Locations on the Way
With the launch of Amsterdam, Sprintbox now operates VDS locations in Russia (Saint Petersburg) and the Netherlands (Amsterdam). The company also reports plans to expand further, with Moscow, Vladivostok, Kazan, and Tashkent listed as upcoming locations. If these plans materialize, Sprintbox’s map will soon look less like a local commute and more like a long-distance route.
