Virtual private server (VPS) hosters
Scalable VPS hosting from Spain
SpainEU♻ Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedHigh non-EU dependencyScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Operational dependency warning
Current public evidence shows 6 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 5 providers: Cloudflare, Mailchimp, Microsoft, Twilio SendGrid, Zendesk. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
Clouding is a VPS hoster operated entirely from Spain. CPU, RAM and storage can be adjusted in real time, storage is enterprise grade NVMe, and both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. A REST API covers automation, scheduled backups and integration into CI/CD and DevOps workflows, and support is available around the clock in English and Spanish.
The servers stand in high availability Tier III data centres in Barcelona, certified to ISO 27001 and powered by certified renewable electricity, so data stays in the EU under GDPR. API calls pass through the Cloudflare CDN, but stored data never leaves Clouding's own infrastructure. It is a European alternative for developers and startups that want flexible infrastructure without long term contracts.
Billing is hourly and based on what you actually use, with no upfront commitment, and each instance can be configured with its own CPU, RAM and SSD allocation. A live cost calculator on the website helps estimate the bill.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Microsoft 365. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
