One HYEHOST network, three connected locations
AS47272 combines full hosting regions in Wolverhampton and Ashburn with a network-only edge in New Zealand. Each point has a clearly defined service role, routing design and upstream protection path.

Hosting architecture
Inside our two hosting regions
Wolverhampton and Ashburn are not copies of the same network. We use the routing stack, facility footprint and protection path that best fits each hosting location.
Wolverhampton, UK
Primary UK region
Dedicated Debian, BIRD & VPP edge
FacilityVelox DC2
Two independent dedicated router machines provide a redundant routing edge. Debian is the operating base, BIRD controls BGP and route policy, and VPP handles packet forwarding.
Dual dedicated routersDebianBIRDVPPCorero
- Each router connects into the redundant switching core and upstream path.
- 100Gbps MPLS reach and Corero-based upstream mitigation.
- VPS, bare metal, colocation, transit and IP services.
Ashburn, Virginia
Growing US region
Linux & BIRD routing edge
FacilitiesEquinix / Digital Realty
Our Ashburn footprint uses Linux routers with BIRD for BGP and route policy. Filtering is delivered within the upstream network before traffic reaches the local HYEHOST service edge.

- Location-specific BGP policy operated as part of AS47272.
- Upstream traffic filtering protects the local VM platform.
- Low-latency US location for a growing range of VPS workloads.
Regional traffic paths
Protected before traffic reaches your service
The delivery method differs by region, but the objective is the same: filter attack traffic upstream and retain local control of BGP, forwarding and customer connectivity.

Inside Wolverhampton
Redundant dedicated routing machines
Transit and peering enter through the redundant aggregation and core. Two dedicated Debian router hosts run BIRD for BGP and VPP for forwarding, with each router connected across the resilient switching layer.

Regional design
Different stacks, shared operating standards
We do not hide the architectural differences between locations. Both regions remain part of AS47272 and are operated around the same priorities: predictable routing, native dual-stack connectivity and upstream protection.
HYEHOST operated
Routing and customer edge
- AS47272 BGP policy for hosting, transit, tunnels and customer prefixes.
- Native IPv4 and IPv6 across supported customer-facing services.
- Linux-based routing with BIRD used for BGP and regional route control.
- Panel automation for service deployment and network management.
Upstream delivered
Transport and traffic protection
- Wolverhampton: 100Gbps MPLS reach with Corero-based upstream mitigation.
- Ashburn: upstream filtering before traffic reaches the local VM edge.
- Regional connectivity selected around the needs and topology of each location.
- Attack traffic handled upstream to preserve local service capacity.
DDoS protection
Protection delivered for each region
Wolverhampton services use Corero-based detection and mitigation within the upstream network. Ashburn services use upstream traffic filtering before packets are delivered to the local Linux and BIRD edge.
Network-layer mitigation complements application security. Customers should still use firewalls, rate limits, patched software and secure authentication for their own workloads.
Automatic upstream responseFiltering does not depend on a customer opening a ticket first.
Location-aware deliveryEach region uses the protection path available through its upstream design.
Capacity preserved locallyMalicious traffic is handled before reaching customer service infrastructure.
Failover & operations
Resilience without pretending both regions are identical
Wolverhampton has two dedicated routing machines and a redundant switching fabric. Ashburn uses a separate Linux and BIRD edge with upstream filtering. BGP reconvergence and regional operating procedures are designed around each topology.
Router host failure
In Wolverhampton, either dedicated Debian router can be removed from service while the remaining machine continues BGP and VPP forwarding.
Core path failure
The redundant Wolverhampton switching layer provides alternate paths between upstream connectivity, routers and customer services.
BGP reconvergence
BIRD manages route advertisement and withdrawal so traffic can follow the remaining available path when connectivity changes.
Regional isolation
Wolverhampton and Ashburn have separate local designs, avoiding a single shared routing appliance across both service regions.

Network FAQ
HYEHOST network questions
Where does HYEHOST operate network infrastructure?
HYEHOST operates full hosting regions in Wolverhampton at Velox DC2 and Ashburn through Equinix and Digital Realty. New Zealand is a network-only edge rather than a hosting region.
Which services are available in each HYEHOST location?
Wolverhampton is our home region and offers the complete product range, including VPS, VDS, dedicated servers, storage, hosting and network services. Ashburn offers VPS and supported hosting and network services, but not VDS, dedicated servers or storage. New Zealand is limited to tunnels, IP transit, IPv4 delivered by tunnel and BGP services.
What routing platform does HYEHOST use in Wolverhampton?
Wolverhampton uses two dedicated, redundant Debian router machines. BIRD handles BGP and route policy, while VPP provides high-throughput packet forwarding.
What routing platform does HYEHOST use in Ashburn?
Ashburn uses Linux routers with BIRD for BGP and regional route policy. Traffic filtering is delivered by the upstream network before it reaches the HYEHOST service edge.
How is the HYEHOST network protected from DDoS attacks?
Protection is delivered regionally. Wolverhampton uses Corero-based upstream mitigation, while Ashburn uses upstream filtering before traffic reaches HYEHOST services.
Is IPv6 native on the HYEHOST network?
Yes. HYEHOST provides native IPv6 across supported services in Wolverhampton and Ashburn, alongside IPv4 where included or selected.
