Why Amsterdam
Why host a VPS in Amsterdam?
Amsterdam is home to AMS-IX, one of Europe's largest internet exchanges, and the Netherlands has long been a favourite location for hosting. A server here reaches Western and Northern Europe over short, well-peered routes.
Dutch privacy law is among the stricter implementations of GDPR, and the country has a long record of hosting international businesses. That makes Amsterdam a common choice for companies that want EU hosting with strong connectivity.
You can also browse all VPS locations or check the prices for every plan before you decide.
Who it reaches
From Amsterdam you serve the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany directly, and reach the UK, France, Denmark and the Nordic countries over short links. Central and Eastern Europe are reachable, though Frankfurt, Warsaw or Bucharest sit closer for them.
Data and privacy
