Hosting & cloud

Your data, in Europe

I deploy and maintain websites, apps and servers with European providers first: your data stays in the European Union, GDPR is simpler and you pay a fair price.

Why European providers first?

When your data and your customers' data is held by a European company in European data centres, European law applies. GDPR is easier to comply with and easier to explain to your customers.

Providers like Hetzner or OVHcloud also offer very competitive performance for the price, and sticking to standard technology keeps you from depending on a single tech giant.

Benefits

Data sovereignty

Companies subject to European law, with data centres inside the EU.

Simpler GDPR

Fewer international data transfers to justify in your privacy policy.

Fair pricing

Excellent performance for the price, especially for servers and storage.

No lock-in

I use standard technology (containers, open databases) so you can switch providers if you ever need to.

What I do for you

  • Choose the right provider and plan for your project
  • Migrate your website, email or applications without downtime
  • Set up secure, updated and monitored servers
  • Automatic backups and a recovery plan
  • SSL certificates, domains and DNS
  • Monthly maintenance and alerts if anything fails

How I work

1

Review

I look at where your systems are now, what you pay and what the risks are.

2

Proposal

I recommend a provider, an architecture and an estimated monthly cost.

3

Migration

I move everything following a plan that avoids downtime, usually out of hours.

4

Maintenance

I monitor, update and back up.

Providers I work with

I choose the provider for each project. These are the usual ones:

HetznerGermany

Cloud and dedicated servers with excellent value for money. Data centres in Germany and Finland.

OVHcloudFrance

One of the largest European cloud providers. Very complete for servers, storage and web hosting.

ScalewayFrance

A modern European cloud with good options for containers, managed databases and AI.

IONOSGermany

German provider of hosting, domains, servers and cloud.

Google CloudUSA, with a Madrid region

I use it when a project needs specific Google services, global scale or Firebase. Data can be kept in European regions, including Madrid.

Price

You pay the provider directly, with no middleman. My migration and maintenance work is quoted separately, at a fixed price.

Frequently asked questions

Is Google Cloud not GDPR compliant?

It can be, if configured properly with European regions. The difference is that US companies are also subject to US laws such as the CLOUD Act. A European provider reduces that risk.

Can you migrate my current website?

Yes. I migrate websites, online shops, email and databases with a plan so nothing goes down and nothing is lost.

What if the server fails?

I set up automatic backups and monitoring to catch problems and restore service as quickly as possible.

Is a European provider more expensive?

Often the opposite. For an SME's websites and applications it is usually the same price or cheaper than the big US providers.

Do you know where your data is?

If you are not sure, I will review your setup and tell you what your options are.
