Our web hosting platform is now open in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Amsterdam has been one of our own data center regions for years through our sister brands, and starting today, APlusHosting customers across Europe can host their websites there.
Why Amsterdam matters for European web hosting
Amsterdam is home to AMS-IX, one of the largest internet exchanges in the world. Almost every European network peers there, which means fast, low-latency routes to the rest of the continent.
From Amsterdam, your website reaches visitors in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and the rest of the European Union with very little delay. For any business serving European customers, this is where your hosting belongs.
Who benefits most
You should pick Amsterdam for your hosting plan if:
- Most of your visitors live in Europe
- You run a business in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, or any other European country
- You sell to customers across the European Union and need data hosted inside the EU
- You serve the Middle East or North Africa (Amsterdam has fast routes to both)
- You want a second European location for redundancy alongside one of our other data centers
How to pick Amsterdam when you order
When you place your order, you will see a list of our data center locations. Pick “Amsterdam, Netherlands” from the list, finish your order, and your website will be deployed there. If you already have a hosting plan in another location and you want to move it, our support team can help.
A note on data residency
Hosting your website in Amsterdam means your files and databases live inside the European Union. For businesses that need to keep customer data inside the EU for compliance reasons, Amsterdam is the right choice.
More locations are on the way
Amsterdam joins our growing list of ColossusCloud regions: Santa Clara, Las Vegas, Dallas, Ashburn, and Singapore. APlusHosting now runs on all of them, with more European locations on the way through leading global cloud providers.
