- bornhuetter 13y agoI've been using http://www.cheapvps.co.uk/ http://www.cheapvps.co.uk/ for bots and simple websites, and am pretty happy with it. EDIT: as other people pointed out elsewhere, the UK may not be that much better (if at all better) than the US. The question is, though, where is safer?
- timw6n 13y agohttp://www.bigv.io/ http://www.bigv.io/ is UK based and seems rather popular.
- sschueller 13y agoI think the UK is just as bad as the US when it comes to spying.
- shiven 13y agoWhy is a US lapdog country like the UK, any better in the context of this post?
- tdec 13y agoYou can check out http://www.ovh.com http://www.ovh.com and http://www.hetzner.de http://www.hetzner.de
- sdoering 13y agoIf you are speaking German (site is in German) you could try http://uberspace.de http://uberspace.de. I am one happy customer of these guys.
- skrause 13y agoI'm also a happy Uberspace user, but they don't offer any VPS. They're more like a standard webhosting provider with shell access.
- nreece 13y agoDediserve is based in Ireland, and they are pretty good too.

- icebraining 13y agoI'm a happy user of https://www.transip.eu/ https://www.transip.eu/ (no other affiliation). Cheap and has a fast connection. Look out for the prices, though: the discount showed is not permanent, just a first month promotion.
- Munksgaard 13y agoI've been trying out http://www.exoscale.ch http://www.exoscale.ch , and while slightly more pricy than similar offers, they seem to offer a pretty good service, with high focus on privacy and security. Also, they're hosted in Switzerland.
- frank_boyd 13y agoJust checked out the pricing - really expensive, if you compare with the Germans at Hetzner http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-produktmatrix-ex http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-produ... I think the Swiss market has ample room for more competition.
- workhere-io 13y agohttp://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix_vserver/vserver-produktmatrix http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix_vserver/vserv.... German company, servers in Germany. Cheaper than Linode, AWS, etc. European companies will be pleasantly surprised that the prices listed include VAT - which means that if you provide your company's VAT number on sign-up, you won't have to pay VAT. So a €7.90 VPS will cost a European company €6.64 (roughly equivalent to $8.86).
