Made in NL hosting: GDPR and the Amsterdam hub
The Netherlands pairs the GDPR framework with one of Europe's biggest network crossroads, around Amsterdam. A solid, very well-connected European choice.
The legal framework #
The GDPR applies, complemented by the national UAVG law, overseen by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. Data in the Netherlands with a Dutch provider means full European law.
A network crossroads #
Amsterdam is one of Europe's major hubs: its AMS-IX exchange is among the largest in the world. Connectivity there is excellent and competitive, which matters as much as the legal framework for many projects.
Exposure #
As in any EU country, sovereignty depends on the provider's legal independence: a Dutch player with no non-European parent escapes the CLOUD Act.
For whom #
Made in NL fits connectivity-hungry European projects, or those seeking an alternative to Frankfurt within the EU.
FAQ #
Yes. Amsterdam and its AMS-IX exchange make it one of Europe's best network crossroads, with competitive transit prices.
Fully: the Netherlands is in the EU. The UAVG law complements the GDPR nationally.
