Infrastructure Experience
Since 1994
What Is AdTech and MarTech Hosting?
Since 1994, we have hosted infrastructure for businesses in over 100 countries. Our strategically located data center regions across North America, Europe, and Asia, including New York, Ashburn, Orlando, Dallas, San Francisco, Toronto, London, and Singapore, put your adtech servers close to major ad exchanges, cutting network round-trip times and keeping your bids competitive.
AdTech (advertising technology) covers the platforms that buy, sell, and deliver digital ads: demand-side platforms (DSPs), supply-side platforms (SSPs), ad exchanges, ad servers, and data management platforms. MarTech (marketing technology) includes the tools that run campaigns, track attribution, score leads, and personalize content at scale.
Both depend on high-performance hosting. Real-time bidding (RTB) transactions must complete within 100-150 milliseconds. Google Authorized Buyers requires 85% of bid responses to arrive within the deadline, or it throttles your bidder. Marketing platforms process terabytes of user and campaign data daily. Shared hosting cannot keep up.
Why AdTech Operations Need Dedicated Servers
Shared cloud environments introduce two problems that break adtech infrastructure: variable latency and resource contention.
In a shared environment, other tenants compete for CPU, memory, and network bandwidth. This "noisy neighbor" effect adds unpredictable jitter to response times. For a DSP that needs to calculate bids within 50 milliseconds of computation time, even 2 to 3 milliseconds of added latency means lost auctions and lost revenue.
Dedicated servers eliminate this. You get 0% CPU steal time, deterministic network performance, and full control over your hardware stack. A mid-size DSP processes 2-3 million queries per second. At that volume, consistent low latency determines whether you win or lose auctions.
Security isolation matters too. AdTech platforms handle user tracking data in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and PCI-DSS. Dedicated hardware ensures your data never shares physical resources with another tenant.

US Data Centers Close to Ad Exchanges
Facilities in New York, Ashburn (VA), Orlando, Dallas, and San Francisco. Proximity to major exchanges reduces network transit time, which directly affects whether your bids arrive within the RTB deadline. Additional facilities in Canada, London, and Asia extend coverage to region-specific markets, supporting localized traffic, compliance needs, and global campaign performance.

Most adtech companies start with dedicated servers for their core bidding infrastructure and add cloud instances for analytics, staging, and overflow. Atlantic.Net supports this hybrid approach from a single account, with all compliance certifications applied across both environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What server specs do I need for real-time bidding?
A production RTB platform requires dedicated servers with high-speed CPUs (Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC), 64GB to 512GB of ECC RAM for in-memory bid decisioning, NVMe SSD storage, and 10Gbps or higher, unmetered bandwidth. The total RTB transaction window is 100-150 milliseconds, with approximately 50 milliseconds allocated to DSP bid computation. Every business use case and solution is different, and a customized solution can help meet and exceed the deployment requirements.
Is cloud or dedicated hosting better for adtech?
Dedicated servers are better for production RTB workloads because they eliminate CPU steal time and provide deterministic latency. Cloud VPS works well for development, testing, analytics, and handling traffic bursts. Many adtech companies use both, running core bidding on dedicated hardware and scaling analytics on cloud instances.
Does Atlantic.Net offer PCI-compliant adtech hosting?
Yes. Atlantic.Net infrastructure is PCI-DSS-ready and has been independently audited for SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 Type II, HIPAA, and HITECH compliance. We also hold NIST 800-53 certification for government and defense advertising contracts.
How fast can I deploy an adtech server?
Cloud instances deploy in 30 seconds. Dedicated servers are ready within hours. Both include full root access from day one, and the Atlantic.Net REST API supports programmatic provisioning for automated infrastructure management.
Cloud Availability in Multiple Global Regions
Deploy close to your users from eight international data centers worldwide, with new regions on the way.
