Sigilhosting was started by a small group of engineers who had spent years managing hosting infrastructure and wanted to build the platform they wished existed — reliable hardware, honest pricing, and an API for everything.
Most hosting companies are resellers. They rent capacity from hyperscalers, wrap it in a dashboard, and mark it up. When something goes wrong, your support ticket passes through layers of intermediaries before anyone with access to the actual hardware sees it.
We take a different approach. We purchase our own servers, rack them in facilities we've vetted, and manage the entire stack from BIOS firmware to the API you interact with. When you open a support ticket, you're talking to engineers who have physical access to the machines your workloads run on.
This isn't the cheapest way to run a hosting company. But it means we can guarantee dedicated resources — your vCPU cores are actually dedicated, your NVMe storage isn't shared with a noisy neighbor, and your 10 Gbps port isn't a theoretical maximum that you'll never reach.
We don't have the broadest product catalog or the most regions. We focus on doing a few things well: compute, storage, networking, and DNS. If you need a managed Kubernetes platform or a serverless runtime, there are better options. If you want a server that does exactly what you expect it to do, at a predictable price, with an API that works — that's what we built.
We buy servers from vendors like Dell, Supermicro, and Tyan, configure them to our specifications, and ship them to each data center where our on-site technicians rack and cable them.
This gives us full control over the hardware lifecycle — from BIOS settings and firmware versions to drive replacement and end-of-life decommissioning.
We run our own BGP sessions with upstream providers and maintain direct peering at major exchanges including AMS-IX, DE-CIX, and Equinix IX. Traffic between our data centers travels over our private backbone.
This matters because it means we control the routing. We can optimize paths, avoid congested transit, and respond to network issues without waiting on a third party.
We're hiring engineers who care about infrastructure.
