Who hosts in Stockholm

Why put a server in Sweden?

Nordic users notice when a site is served from far away. Stockholm keeps you close to them, with the physics floor at 8 ms to Berlin and 8 ms to Warsaw, and Netnod’s two Stockholm peering LANs listing 189 and 179 networks.

Sweden has been in the EU since 1995. The GDPR applies, supervised by Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY). That makes Stockholm a natural home for EU backups and for personal services you want inside the EU but away from the busiest hubs.

For the UK and France, Amsterdam and Luxembourg are closer; the chart below shows by how much.

The fastest a round trip from Stockholm could ever be: light in fibre covers about 200 km per millisecond, over the straight-line distance. Real routes are longer and add equipment, so expect more. We only suggest another location when it saves at least 10 ms, and some neighbouring countries don’t connect directly, so a closer location can still be slower. Hourly billing makes it cheap to test both.

How it works

From payment to root in Stockholm.

No sales call, no paperwork. One crypto deposit funds every server you run, in any of our countries.

    From $20, in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Solana, BNB, XRP or Monero. Your first deposit picks up the launch bonus by itself.

  3. Pick the plan in Stockholm

  4. Log in and build

    Your server is usually ready within 15 minutes. Full root access, an IPv4 address and DDoS filtering come with it.

Sweden questions

Before you pick Stockholm.

Is Stockholm fast for users in Germany and Poland?

The physics floor is 8 ms to Berlin and 8 ms to Warsaw. For Warsaw, our Lithuania location is closer still at 4 ms.

Should I pick Stockholm or Amsterdam?

For the Nordics, Stockholm. For the UK and France, Amsterdam: London is 4 ms from Amsterdam against 14 ms from Stockholm.

Who supervises data protection in Sweden?

Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), under the GDPR. Sweden has been in the EU since 1995.

Is Sweden a no-takedown location?

No. Sweden applies EU law, including the Digital Services Act, which requires hosting providers to run a notice-and-action process for reports of illegal content. Reports are checked against our acceptable use policy and the law where the server is.

Does a server here cost more than in other countries?

No. Every plan costs the same in all 15 of our countries, with the same traffic allowance, billed by the hour and never more than the monthly price.
