What NFOrce Entertainment does

NFOrce Entertainment B.V. is a Netherlands-based hosting and internet infrastructure provider founded in 1995 and officially incorporated in April 2003, headquartered in Roosendaal with operational offices in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The company operates two ISO27001 certified datacenters in the Netherlands, NL-1 Databarn Amsterdam and NL-3 Nedzone Steenbergen, connected by its own darkfiber ring and an AS-level multi-homed network (AS43350, AS64437) with 2.5+ Tbps total bandwidth and 1000+ peering and transit relationships across AMS-IX, NL-IX, Cloudflare, Arelion, Lumen, Cogent, and Google.

The portfolio spans dedicated servers (budget, mid-range, high-performance, blade, and GPU lines including RTX 3090 and Tesla variants), tiered cloud/VPS hosting (Aluminium through Diamond plus reseller), full-rack and single-unit colocation, IP transit via AS43350, fiber-to-business, shared web hosting, and ancillary services such as Idera/R1Soft backups, DDoS protection via HyperFilter, network monitoring, VPLS interconnects, and out-of-band management. In 2025 the company extended its footprint into USA partner datacenters (Miami, NYC Metro, Los Angeles) and added USDC cryptocurrency payment support alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through subscription-based monthly contracts (12-month terms with auto-renewal, plus Lease2Buy options), with usage-based billing on IP transit. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via an e-commerce website with a server builder configurator, supplemented by an enterprise sales team for custom configurations and a small reseller channel (van den Hil, Fibernow B.V., HyperFilter). The company is privately held, founder-operated under General Director Pieter Taks, with no disclosed external investors and headcount reported at 1-10 employees.
