Why EU Cloud?

€920 vs €0

Hyperscalers charge ~€0.09/GB egress. Hetzner includes 20TB free. OVHcloud: unlimited. For 10TB/month that's ~€920 vs €0.

Compare costs

CLOUD Act

US law lets federal agencies demand data from US-owned providers — even when stored in Frankfurt. EU-owned providers are not subject to this.

Why it matters

NIS2

Since October 2024, NIS2 requires EU companies to document cloud jurisdiction risk. Using a US hyperscaler now means a paper trail in compliance reports.
