The Netherlands has a long tradition of liberal information policy and strong civil liberties protections. Dutch hosting providers have historically resisted overreaching takedown requests, and Dutch courts apply narrow interpretations of copyright infringement that favor operators. While the country operates under EU law, Dutch implementation of EU directives has consistently prioritized individual rights.
The Netherlands is also home to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), one of the world's largest internet peering points. This means Dutch servers have extremely low latency to the rest of Europe, with direct fiber connections to all major European markets. AnubizHost's Dutch infrastructure benefits from this position.
For projects that need EU-based servers with strong privacy protections and maximum network performance, the Netherlands is a natural fit. Our dedicated servers in the Netherlands start at $99/mo with full root access and no identity verification.
