About Cloud Wall Ltd
Senior system and network engineers since 2009.
LAN-SERVERS is run by Cloud Wall Ltd. We have been running servers since 2009, and today we do it on our own European backbone, in our own data center, behind DDoS protection we build ourselves. Dozens of hosting companies resell our servers under their own names, and we resell nobody else's.
How we got here
2009: Slackware and game servers
We were already running our own servers on Slackware Linux and doing system administration for all kinds of projects. Then we started LAN-SERVERS to host game servers, and that is how our hosting business began.
2010: our own DDoS protection
Game servers draw DDoS attacks, and around this time they became a real problem for us. We built our own protection: a custom Linux kernel with our own netfilter modules. Every filter rule since has been our own code.
2014: servers for partners
We began to provide dedicated servers, to a few partners only, all of them hosting companies. We looked after all of it, the hardware and the network.
2018: our own data center
We opened our own data center in Sofia: Tier III design, three halls, two independent substations, N+1 generators and cooling, and our own engineers on site 24/7.
2022: the whole job, white-label
More hosting companies came to us, and we took on the whole job: we sold them the server, then colocated, configured and installed it. All of it white-label and built into their own systems, so their customers never see our name.
2024: DDoS protection, next generation
We built our protection again, as a cluster of Linux servers with 400G network cards and an XDP filter in the network driver: an attack packet is dropped before the kernel allocates a buffer for it. The filter is always on, and we can replace it while traffic flows.
2026: LAN-SERVERS, automated
The next stage is this website, built to sell dedicated servers on its own. The order, the payment, the installation and the hand-over of the server are all automated, with no one having to step in.
How to verify this history
A timeline on a company website proves nothing by itself. Anyone can type "since 2009". Ours happens to be checkable from public records, so check it. A domain's registration date cannot be backdated.
Policy
Why there is no AI in our support
A model answering first is cheap for us and expensive for you. It cannot see your traffic and it cannot change a filter. Its job is to reduce the number of conversations an engineer has, which is exactly the opposite of what you want at three in the morning with a server under attack. We also think it would be strange to sell a service built on measuring things carefully and then put a system that guesses in front of it. So there is no chatbot on this site, no AI agent on the first line, and no model reading your message and deciding how urgent it is. If that changes we will say so on this page rather than quietly.
