Founder & Hosting Engineer
Andreas
Andreas is the founder of DoomHosting and the engineer who built most of the infrastructure powering it: the Pterodactyl deployment, the Nuxt frontend, the panel automation, and the billing stack. He writes the deeper technical pieces here: hardware comparisons, real performance numbers from our own nodes, and the occasional opinionated take on what's wrong with the wider game-hosting industry.
