Cloud Hosting
Web, VPS, storage and managed app hosting, from privacy-conscious providers that own and run their own infrastructure
Icelandic hosting, VPS and email, running on its own network (AS44925) and hardware since 2006. Bitcoin and Monero accepted, ISO 27001 certified, and powered by geothermal and hydro. Iceland sits outside the 14 Eyes, and 1984 only releases data on an Icelandic court order.
Not Open SourceFrench sovereign cloud from France Nuage: managed open-source apps, PostgreSQL and S3-compatible storage in its own datacenters. Source is public but under SSPL-1.0, which is not OSI-approved. ISO 27001 is targeted, not held, and card-only payment means no anonymous signup.
Not Open SourceSwiss web hosting, VPS and OpenStack cloud, from a company that builds and runs its own datacenters and network (AS29222). ISO 27001 certified since 2018, and Swiss law keeps it outside the 14 Eyes and the CLOUD Act. Card payment only, so there is no anonymous signup.
Not Open SourceVPS, VPN and domain service run by njalla.srl in Costa Rica, on its own Swedish machines. Sign up with an email or XMPP address, and pay in crypto. Njalla is the legal registrant of domains you buy: you keep full usage rights and can transfer out, but never own them on paper.
