Cloud computing platform from Finland
FinlandEU 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 5 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 4 providers: Cloudflare, Google, HubSpot, Mailchimp. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
UpCloud is a cloud computing platform from Finland with data centres in several parts of the world. It offers virtual servers, private cloud networking, managed databases, managed Kubernetes and object storage. Block storage can be upgraded for higher read and write speeds, which helps with databases and other IO heavy applications.
With a Finnish operator and renewable energy in all of its European data centres, UpCloud is a European alternative to the large American cloud providers. It suits teams that want predictable infrastructure and clear pricing without committing to a hyperscaler.
The cheapest general purpose instance, with one core and 1 GB of RAM, starts at 7 euros per month.
