Cloud Hosting Europe — Fast, Private Cloud Servers Across Europe

AnubizHost operates cloud infrastructure in three European locations, each chosen for its combination of network connectivity, hardware quality, and privacy-friendly legal environment. The Netherlands offers Amsterdam-based servers with access to AMS-IX, one of the world's largest internet exchanges, delivering sub-5ms latency to most of Western Europe. Romania provides Bucharest-based servers with excellent connectivity to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, combined with the strongest data privacy laws in the EU. Iceland offers Reykjavik-based servers with unique geographical separation and some of the strongest free speech protections in the world.

Each location is connected to multiple Tier 1 transit providers with redundant fiber paths, ensuring that no single network failure can affect your connectivity. Our European network backbone provides direct peering at DE-CIX, LINX, and other major exchanges in addition to AMS-IX, giving your server fast, direct paths to users anywhere in Europe and beyond.

The United States is the world's largest hosting market, but it is also one of the worst jurisdictions for privacy. US law enforcement can issue National Security Letters that compel hosting providers to hand over customer data without judicial oversight. The CLOUD Act allows US authorities to demand data from American companies even when that data is stored overseas. The DMCA enables automated content takedowns without due process. And the NSA's surveillance programs, revealed by Edward Snowden, showed that mass collection of internet traffic is standard practice.

European jurisdictions, by contrast, generally require judicial authorization for data requests, do not recognize DMCA, and have constitutional privacy protections that limit government surveillance. GDPR gives individuals strong rights over their personal data and imposes heavy penalties on companies that violate those rights.

By hosting in Europe with AnubizHost, you benefit from these legal protections while still enjoying excellent global connectivity. European data centers are well-connected to North American, Asian, and African networks, making them a strong choice for serving worldwide audiences without sacrificing privacy.

AnubizHost European cloud servers deliver performance that matches or exceeds major cloud providers. Our hardware features the latest AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon processors, NVMe SSD storage with consistent high IOPS, and DDR4 ECC memory. All resources are dedicated to your instance — no overprovisioning, no noisy neighbors.

Network performance is a particular strength of our European infrastructure. With direct peering at multiple major exchanges and redundant transit via Tier 1 carriers, our servers achieve sub-10ms latency to most European capitals, sub-40ms to the US East Coast, and sub-80ms to most global destinations. We use BGP anycast and intelligent routing to ensure traffic always takes the optimal path.

For latency-sensitive applications like real-time communications, gaming, and financial services, our European locations offer an ideal balance of performance and privacy. You get the speed your users expect without the surveillance that US-based alternatives impose.

Deploying cloud hosting in Europe with AnubizHost is fast and anonymous. Create an account with an email address, select your European location (Netherlands, Romania, or Iceland), choose your plan configuration, and pay with cryptocurrency. Your server is provisioned within minutes and you receive full root access immediately.

If you are unsure which European location is best for your use case, consider your target audience and privacy requirements. The Netherlands is ideal for Western European audiences and offers the best general-purpose connectivity. Romania is the strongest choice for maximum legal privacy protection. Iceland is perfect for content-focused applications that benefit from strong free speech laws.

All European cloud hosting plans include a dedicated IPv4 address, automated backups, 24/7 monitoring, and unlimited support. Upgrade, downgrade, or migrate between locations at any time through our control panel. AnubizHost European cloud hosting gives you the performance, privacy, and flexibility to run any workload with confidence.
