Your data stays
in Europe.
eXtreme Hosting operates a fully sovereign cloud platform with datacentres in the European Union at its core. Your infrastructure is governed by European law — not the Patriot Act, not the Cloud Act.
What does sovereign cloud mean?
Sovereignty means that you — and only you — determine who has access to your data, where that data resides, and which legal system governs it.
Legal sovereignty
Your data is subject exclusively to European law (GDPR, NIS2). No foreign legal framework — including the US Cloud Act or FISA 702 — can compel eXtreme Hosting to hand over your data without going through European judicial channels.
Operational sovereignty
Full control over your infrastructure without vendor lock-in to a single hyperscaler. You can migrate, scale up, or scale down at any time — your data is always exportable in open formats.
Data sovereignty
Encryption with customer-managed keys (BYOK — Bring Your Own Key). No party, including eXtreme Hosting, can access your data without your explicit consent and keys.
Operational transparency
Complete audit trails of all access, changes, and incidents. Real-time visibility via the customer portal — you can see exactly what is happening in your environment, when, and by whom.
Datacentre locations
Europe — Primary region
Our home base. All standard deployments start here. Five EU member states with interconnected datacentres for maximum redundancy within European territory.
Our own datacentre. Tier III certified, fully owned and operated. Redundant power, cooling, and connectivity via multiple carriers. Direct peering at AMS-IX and NL-ix.
Centrally located in Europe with excellent connectivity to the rest of the EU. BSI-compliant facility with direct DE-CIX peering — the world's largest internet exchange.
Strategic location for West European customers and workloads requiring compliance with French regulations. Direct peering via France-IX.
Ideal for customers with Benelux operations or EU institutions requiring proximity to the European institutions in Brussels.
A rapidly growing tech hub in Eastern Europe. Low latency for customers in Central and Eastern Europe, fully within the EU legal framework.
Asia-Pacific — Regional presence
For customers with operations or users in Asia, we offer three regional locations with low latency for local users.
Australian datacentre location for customers with Oceania workloads or data residency requirements under the Australian Privacy Act.
Two Indian locations for optimal coverage of the subcontinent. Compliant with the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA).
The digital gateway of Southeast Asia. Ideal as an APAC hub for multinationals operating in the region. Compliant with PDPA and MAS guidelines.
North America — Only when necessary
We are honest: we do not recommend this for European organisations. However, some workloads, customers, or compliance requirements demand physical presence on US or Canadian soil.
Available for customers with US end-users, US compliance requirements (HIPAA, FedRAMP), or those requiring geographic proximity for latency-critical applications.
Canada offers stronger privacy legislation than the US (PIPEDA). For European organisations that require North America, Canada is our preferred choice over the US.
We also manage Azure, Google Cloud & AWS
Some organisations already have investments in public cloud, or need specific services only available from hyperscalers. No problem — we put you back in control.

"Cloud governance
in your hands."
This is not merely a tagline. It is the fundamental philosophy behind every client engagement. We believe that you — not your cloud provider — should be in control of your own IT infrastructure.
In practice, this means you always have access to your own data, always manage your own keys, always know where your data resides, and always have the freedom to leave. No vendor lock-in, no hidden dependencies.
Whether you choose our own EU cloud, a hybrid environment, or managed public cloud — we ensure that governance stays with you.
Take back controlYour data, your keys
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) encryption on all storage. We are physically unable to access your data.
Always exportable
No proprietary formats. Your data is always exportable to open standards — at any time.
Complete audit trail
Every log entry, every change, every access attempt — visible to you in real time via the portal.
Contractual guarantees
Data residency, sovereignty, and exit rights are contractually enshrined — not merely promised.
No hidden dependencies
We use open-source technology as our foundation. No vendor lock-in to proprietary tools.
Multi-cloud without loss of control
Even in a multi-cloud setup, your governance framework remains the central point of authority.
