Where to host open source in the Nordics and the EU

A registry of hosting providers with the facts that matter for self-hosting: where the data centres are, whether a data processing agreement (DPA) is offered, which certifications the provider states it holds, and what a project needs. Every fact links to the page it comes from.

Information and estimates only. Nothing is deployed from this page, the list is not a recommendation or a ranking, and prices are shown only when we have read them on the provider's own page.

Entries marked "Not reviewed" are shown so you can use them, but they are not indexed by search engines until a person has reviewed them.

Providers

Countries are those named on the provider's own pages. "Unknown" means the source does not say, not that the answer is no.

What a project needs

Minimum resources come from the project's documentation (upstream) or are a labelled SIAX estimate. Where neither exists, the requirement is unknown and nothing is assumed.

Estimate the running cost

Enter the numbers you know. The estimate uses the same TCO model as the savings calculator, lists every assumption and computes nothing without a server price.

Take the monthly price of a server that fits from the provider's price page. Cleura

Estimate

Enter a server price to see an estimate. Nothing is computed without it.

Assumptions

  • Server price: unknown. Enter it from the provider's price page.
  • Backups and storage: not included.
  • Your own operations time: not included. Self-hosting is never free: updates, backups and monitoring take time.
  • Setup and migration time: not included.
  • Prices are assumed flat over the period.
  • Amounts in EUR, excluding VAT.
  • An estimate from your inputs, not a quote, an offer or a guarantee.
