Websites that live in Europe.
Hosted on servers in Europe, close to their visitors.
Why hosting in Europe matters
- European rules
- Data stored in Europe by a European provider falls under European data protection law, the GDPR. That makes it easier to know who can see what.
- Fewer hurdles for data
- As long as data stays within the EEA, no special safeguards are needed for transfers to countries outside it.
- Faster for visitors
- Servers close to visitors mean shorter response times. It is most noticeable on mobile.
- A clear answer
- More and more customers ask where their data ends up. Being able to say "in Europe" builds trust.
