Our own dedicated web server, which we have named Palladium, is housed in a state-of-the-art data centre in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands, and provides optimal connectivity and security for your website.
Worldstream, our data centre partner, is equipped with the latest technology, including redundant power and cooling systems, to guarantee a 99.9% uptime. The data centre boasts robust security measures, such as 24/7 CCTV surveillance and biometric authentication, to protect your data from unauthorised access, and is powered by 100% renewable energy.
Powerful and Energy-Efficient Hardware
As per 1 September 2025, our Palladium Server is powered by Worldstream’s state-of-the-art Flexible Cloud infrastructure and the latest VMware Cloud Foundation technology.

This enables your website to process multiple visitor requests, run database queries and perform complex operations simultaneously without slowing down.
With 24 GB of virtual RAM (vRAM), your websites have ample space to operate smoothly. This memory ensures that your WordPress sites, plugins and applications can run smoothly, even during traffic spikes or when processing resource-intensive tasks.
For lightning-fast data storage, our Palladium Server includes 1 terabyte (1000 gigabytes) of storage based on VMware vSAN technology with all-flash NVMe drives. This cutting-edge combination delivers unmatched performance and reliability: not only is your data accessed at blazing speeds, it is also protected through VMware’s advanced redundancy features, such as vMotion, DRS and high availability. Whether they’re serving images, accessing databases or loading content, your visitors will experience consistently fast performance.

This sophisticated security system ensures your website remains online and accessible to visitors during attempted attacks.
With Worldstream’s high-capacity network and advanced DDoS protection, you can focus on growing your online presence, safe in the knowledge that your infrastructure can handle anything that comes your way, from traffic spikes during successful campaigns to cyber attacks.
Sustainable Power Structure
At FourteenRockets, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices. The data centre in Naaldwijk, Netherlands where our Palladium server is located, is powered by 100% renewable energy. The data centre’s power is sourced from wind and solar, ensuring that our Palladium Server is not only high-performing but also environmentally friendly.
The data centre employs an innovative cooling system that uses outside air to cool the servers, reducing the need for energy-intensive air conditioning. This system, known as free cooling, allows the data centre to maintain optimal server temperatures while minimising energy consumption.
Secure and Stable Operating System
Our Palladium Server runs on Ubuntu 20.04, a stable and secure operating system that provides a solid foundation for your web applications. With regular security updates, Ubuntu 25.04 is the ideal choice for our dedicated hosting server.
To further enhance the performance and security of our Palladium Server, we make use of LiteSpeed Web Server on top of Ubuntu.
LiteSpeed is up to 9x faster than Apache and can handle high traffic efficiently. It also offers built-in DDoS protection, SSL/TLS support, and mod_security compatibility to secure your website. With full HTTP/3 support, your website benefits from the latest internet protocol, delivering faster page loads, improved connection reliability, and better performance on mobile networks – ensuring your website is truly future-proof.
What’s in a name?
We thought it would be fun to come up with some interesting and appropriate names for our services. For our own web server, we decided on the name Palladium.
Palladium, a scarce and radiant silvery-white metal, is valued for its distinctive attributes such as remarkable corrosion resistance, superior electrical conductivity, and the ability to endure extreme temperatures.
It goes without saying that our web server is not made of palladium, but is named after the metal. Much like how the Palladium server is designed to deliver robust, reliable, and high-performance hosting solutions, the metal itself is a testament to resilience and performance under the most demanding conditions.
