The data center in Riga we run ourselves and answer for
The CloudHosting data centre at Bērzaunes iela 1 in Riga, Latvia, is a Tier 3+ site that CloudHosting SIA, a Latvian IT infrastructure provider since 2016, runs itself: N+1 power and cooling, a guarded site closed to visitors and monitoring 24/7, on its own network AS58269. Companies use it for server colocation from 40 EUR per 1U a month plus electricity, and for web hosting, VPS, dedicated servers and company infrastructure with data kept in the EU.

What Tier 3+ means in practice
The facility at Bērzaunes iela 1 in Riga runs power and cooling in an N+1 configuration: every critical component has at least one independent reserve, so maintenance does not mean downtime.
Standard 19-inch telecommunication racks take any modern server, from a single 1U machine to full private cages for colocation clients. The site is guarded, only a limited number of our own specialists have access, and systems are monitored around the clock.
Connectivity is our own: CloudHosting announces its IP space over its own BGP network with redundant uplinks, and carriers present at the site can be reached over a cross-connect.
The Riga site is the core, not the whole story. A second live region runs in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and we bring capacity online in Dubai (DXB1) on request.
How redundancy works here
The scheme every service on this site runs on: any single component can fail or be serviced while your equipment keeps running.
N+1 means at least one independent reserve for every critical component. Maintenance windows exist for us, not for your uptime.
Built for uninterrupted service
Power
N+1 redundant power with UPS protection, so a failing feed never reaches your equipment.
Cooling
Redundant, nonstop cooling keeps racks in spec through maintenance and summer peaks alike.
Security
A guarded site closed to visitors, access for a limited number of our specialists and 24/7 monitoring of the building and systems.
Network
Our own BGP network with redundant uplinks and cross-connects to carriers at the site.

Data center questions
Where exactly is the CloudHosting data center?
The CloudHosting data centre is at Bērzaunes iela 1, Riga, LV-1039, Latvia: a Tier 3+ site with our own hardware and our own engineers, not rented racks in someone else's facility. All primary CloudHosting infrastructure runs from here under EU jurisdiction. A second live region operates in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for workloads that want Western European connectivity, and capacity in Dubai (DXB1) is brought online on request. Whichever region you choose, the service, the panel and the support team stay the same. The address is public, but the data centre is closed to visitors: equipment is handed over at our office at the same address.
Who runs the data centre, and why does that matter?
CloudHosting SIA, a Latvian IT infrastructure provider in business since 2016, runs the Riga data centre itself: the power, the cooling, the network under AS58269 and the engineers who answer your tickets are all our own. When something needs fixing, there is no other operator to wait for and no subcontractor to blame; the person who watches the alarm is a colleague of the person who answers you. It also keeps prices honest, since nobody upstream is charging us rack rent. Plenty of providers resell someone else's data centre; we answer for our own, which is why we can show the redundancy scheme with real paths instead of abstract promises.
What does Tier 3+ mean in practice?
At the CloudHosting data centre in Riga, Tier 3+ means every critical system has at least one independent reserve: power and cooling run in an N+1 configuration with UPS protection, so a component can fail or be taken out for maintenance while the load carries on. When a power feed fails, the load continues from the reserve path while engineers fix the cause, and losing one cooling unit does not push racks out of spec. The redundancy scheme on this page shows the paths: two independent feeds and UPS for power, duplicated cooling units, and two uplinks behind our BGP core. If an incident could affect your equipment, you hear it from us first.
How is the data center physically secured?
The CloudHosting data centre at Bērzaunes iela 1 is guarded, and visitors, colocation clients included, are not admitted: only a limited number of our own specialists have access. Clients hand their equipment over at our office at the same address, and our engineers install it in the rack. Redundancy is part of the design, with N+1 power backed by UPS and a diesel generator, N+1 cooling and two uplinks, and both the building systems and the customer equipment are covered by monitoring and incident response 24/7. Alarms about power, cooling or network anomalies trigger incident response, not just a line on a dashboard. We do not publish further detail about physical protection, because a data centre is safer when fewer people know how it is guarded.
What connectivity is available at the site?
CloudHosting announces its own IP address space from the Riga data centre over its own BGP network, AS58269, with redundant uplinks; that is the default for every service. On top of that you can order cross-connects to carriers present at the site, private circuits from the data centre to your offices, and site-to-site VPN tunnels. IPv4 addresses come from our own allocations. If you run your own AS, a BGP session with your prefixes is a standard colocation add-on at 50.00 EUR a month, and the PI prefix announcement costs 20.00 EUR. For anything custom, send us your topology and an engineer will reply with a concrete design and price.
How much does colocation in this data centre cost?
Server colocation in the CloudHosting data centre in Riga starts at 40 EUR a month for a 1U server and the same for a tower unit, excluding VAT, with electricity billed by meter. Installation, a public IPv4, a 1 Gbit/s uplink and 30 TB of monthly traffic are included, and there is no minimum term. Add-ons such as extra units, a second power feed, guaranteed bandwidth, BGP, additional uplinks, dual PDU, 10G and cross-connects are listed openly on the colocation page; items marked on quote depend on your configuration. Clients do not enter the data hall: our engineers on site install the equipment and act as your remote hands.
Can I visit the data center before signing a colocation contract?
No: CloudHosting does not admit visitors to the data centre at Bērzaunes iela 1, prospective clients included; only a limited number of our own specialists have access. Before you sign, talk it through with our engineers by phone, by email or at our office at the same address: the redundancy scheme on this page, the power and cooling setup, the space your equipment needs and how it will be connected. This is arranged on working days between 9:00 and 17:00 Riga time. Bring your own IT person if you like, so the technical questions are settled between specialists. Once you sign, you hand the equipment over at our office, or send it by courier, and our engineers install it in the rack.
Can I get a private rack?
CloudHosting offers full private racks in the Riga data centre, priced individually by power draw, next to shared rack space that starts from a single 1U server at 40 EUR a month. When the project grows, you move from a shared 19-inch rack to your own cabinet with dual power feeds and room for servers, storage and network gear together. The add-on list covers extra power, 10G uplinks and cross-connects, so the rack grows with you. Send us your equipment list and expected power draw, and we will quote the rack.
What can your engineers do as remote hands?
CloudHosting engineers at the Riga data centre act as your hands on site on working days from 9:00 to 17:00 Riga time: they reboot a server, swap a failed disk or a RAM module you shipped to us, reconnect cables, read out a console screen or install equipment into the rack. Simple actions are part of normal colocation support; bigger planned works are agreed in advance and billed by the hour as IT support. Clients do not enter the data hall, so all hands-on work on your equipment is done by our engineers. Hardware can be handed over at our office or arrive by courier, and we rack it without you being there.
Is my data hosted in the EU, and which other regions are there?
CloudHosting hosts data in the EU by default: the primary site is in Riga, Latvia, so data there stays under EU jurisdiction and GDPR, which your privacy policy and client contracts can state plainly. The second live region, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is inside the EU as well and suits customers who want Western European connectivity or an out-of-country copy of their data. Dubai (DXB1) capacity, brought online on request, is the exception for projects that specifically need a non-EU location. We are a Latvian company, so questions about your data are answered by an EU legal entity, not a foreign intermediary.
Which CloudHosting services run from this site?
CloudHosting runs web hosting, WordPress hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, Nextcloud, MikroTik CHR and server colocation from the Riga data centre, with the Netherlands as the second region for VPS and related services. That matters in practice: moving between products, from hosting to a VPS or from a VPS to a dedicated server, is a copy inside one network, not a migration between providers. Backups are kept on separate storage, and company infrastructure projects can combine dedicated hardware with private networking at the same site. If a project uses several products, support sees the whole picture in one system.
What languages does support speak?
CloudHosting support answers in English, Latvian and Russian, by phone, by email and through tickets in the client area, and the team works in Riga next to the data centre. The site, the network and customer equipment are under monitoring and incident response 24/7, while engineers answer requests on working days from 9:00 to 17:00 Riga time. Equipment handover, remote hands and deliveries are arranged through the same channels, and the same people read the whole thread whichever language you write in. Technical terms are fine in English.
