I once rented servers from Switzerland. I guess mainly based on the image of them being secure, privacy-oriented etc. It was not cheap, of course, but I was fine with that.
Turns out that they had really lousy security practice, their staff was probably some idiots. The granted access to our servers to some random dude with simple social engineering hack. In addition they never admitted their mistake, although it was clear from the admin console what had happened (I guess they didn't even research it).
The company in question was Private Layer Inc. Never use their services. I will personally never trust anything Swiss on any IT-related.

- rdl 11y agoYeah, that doesn't work out as well as you might think.
- detaro 11y agoI wondered if you would comment on that ;) Wasn't really meant as a practical suggestion though
- jerguismi 11y agoThere are so many countries in the world, that it doesn't really do much harm to ignore one country when choosing product from international markets.
- Nyr 11y agoI knew you were talking about Private Layer long before you mentioned them in the end. They are utter shit and not representative of the Swiss hosting market.
