Ask HN: Good VPS offerings from companies outside the US?
I want to migrate out of Digital Ocean, I don't want my personal data under the US jurisdiction. Have nothing to hide, but that's not the point.
- SomeoneWeird 13y agoovh?
- dossy 13y agoWhy, because you think that foreign governments are going to respect your privacy more? Ha.
- centizen 13y agoWell, actually - yes; depending on the country. But that's not the point. The point is that your own country has to go through more convoluted international channels to get your data.
- MrGando 13y agoI agree. And I would also prefer my data to fall in the hands of a random government with less resources than the US government.
- kurt_ 13y agoOr maybe US is a foreign government for some people ?
- andyhart 13y agoWe have UK-based VPS packages... www.hartserver.net/servers/vps/
- mattbee 13y agoWhy is your own web site on DigitalOcean in the Netherlands then? :)
- mattbee 13y agoWe've just taken the beta wrappers off http://bigv.io/ http://bigv.io/ after two years (we've been in business for 11). It's hosted in Manchester, UK - £10 / month for 1GB RAM, scale to 180GB, real actual humans on the phone for support, console access, choice of disc grades (SATA, SAS, SSD), command line interface... OK I'll stop selling. It's really very good though.
- mattbee 13y agoThough http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/aug/02/gchq-accused-selling-services-nsa http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/aug/02/gchq-accused-... suggests you're not a million miles away from the NSA's taps in the UK! You can always ask us if we have government spies in our network. If I seem to want to talk about the weather instead, it's a reasonable bet that we do :) But not yet...

- windexh8er 13y agoAre OVH and Hetzner the top contenders here? I have things split across DigitalOcean and Linode and am about to drop both - thinking a non-VPS provider is actually the better route as I'm willing to pay if I have my own server. Any good hosts in Switzerland? That's likely the best country to host in at this point, or one of...
- carloc 13y agoI highly recommend metanet for Swiss hosting.
- carloc 13y agoFrom Germany, Hetzner is excellent.
- npaquin 13y agoI've been using adelinahost.com for a few months now (my vm is in Russia). So far, so good.
