A major update to our web servers in 2026
At BigBase, we see websites and applications challenged by growing visitor numbers and increasing traffic from advanced bots and crawlers. To provide better hosting and protect your website, we are making a major update to our hosting platform this year.
Our web servers are moving from a Dutch to a German data centre. This makes hosting more powerful and reliable and brings benefits for privacy, performance and security.
Why this update?
- Better performance: The new infrastructure handles large traffic volumes more efficiently, helping websites run faster and more reliably.
- Stronger security: More advanced systems recognise and block unwanted bots, helping protect against spam, abuse and unwanted content.
- GDPR-compliant hosting: The German location and associated security and compliance measures support our hosting’s compliance with European privacy legislation.
- Better bot handling: Unwanted bots can be blocked more effectively, while legitimate search engine crawlers are recognised and handled correctly. This supports indexing and protects server resources.
- Infrastructure for the future: The update provides a solid foundation for further hosting improvements and expansion.
What does it mean for you?
We will plan and carry out the migration carefully, minimising its impact on the current hosting service. You do not need to do anything. We will handle the technical transition and keep your website running as you expect.
After the update, you automatically benefit from:
- Faster loading times.
- Better uptime and stability.
- Increased protection against bots.
- Hosting configured for GDPR compliance.
