Detailed Review
Worldstream's dedicated server page lists 41 configurations, and the filter on that page splits them by delivery time: seven are marked as live within two hours, 33 as 24 hours and one as seven days for a custom build. That makes the delivery promise something you can read off the product list instead of a marketing line.
The servers sit in data centres operated by Greenhouse Datacenters, which the company calls its sister company, near Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. The terms define "Worldstream" as Worldstream B.V. together with Greenhouse Datacenters B.V., and they apply Dutch law.
Delivery Time You Can Filter On
The server list can be narrowed by data centre, delivery time, uplink, processor family, memory and workload. Thirty-nine of the 41 listed configurations are in the Netherlands and two are in Germany, and the uplinks run from 1 Gbit/s with 50 TB of guaranteed monthly traffic up to 10 Gbit/s plans.
Entries show a monthly price with no setup fee. The lowest price visible in the list is €54 a month, and the AMD EPYC 4000-series entries in the same list start at €135 a month.
Own Facilities and Certifications
Worldstream describes its facilities as self-owned European data centres with biometric access control, 24/7 surveillance and lockable racks. It lists ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and PCI DSS certificates for the data centres, ISO 14001 for the environmental side, and a power usage effectiveness of 1.15 on 100 percent green electricity.
Points of presence include Iron Mountain in Haarlem and Nikhef in Amsterdam, with a Frankfurt node for German traffic.
Support and Contract
The site quotes an average support response time of seven minutes and round-the-clock engineers. Those figures are the company's own and are not backed by a published SLA percentage on the pages reviewed.
The published terms are governed by Dutch law, with the district court of The Hague holding exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between the customer and Worldstream.
Limitations to Consider
Almost the whole range sits in the Netherlands, with only two German configurations in the list, so a multi-region footprint means pairing it with another provider such as Hetzner or Cherry Servers. The pages reviewed show monthly rental only, with no hourly billing and no public provisioning API. The terms PDF carries a "draft under Dutch law version 0.99" label.
Who Should Use Worldstream
Companies that want a Dutch contract and physical servers in the Amsterdam region, with a configuration they can pick and have running the same day.
