this website seems a clone of https://european-alternatives.eu/ Either way, one of the most critical parts is that many are still hosting on Google Cloud, AWS or Microsoft, therefore you are not 100% insulated from Cloud Act.
Are the ones that are tagged "EU hosted" among the ones you mean host on Google Cloud, AWS or Microsoft?
I don't think that's an alternative to US hyperscalers. Scaleway is the closest thing there is. Replacing a single service with 10 others is not really an alternative in my opinion.
To be upfront about this, we’re still on AWS (Frankfurt), but "EU-owned" hosting/data regions will be available very soon.
It's like a bad mix of culture (bordering on arrogance and pathological in some bad cases) and over regulation.
I always advise clients to avoid the EU at launch and focus on UK if they really want to do a test run and encourage them to focus on East Asia instead.
You'd think Europe is this affluent and sophisticated customer demographic but again and again from data I see it couldn't be further from the truth.
What about DNS buying/hosting? Seems it's not mentioned (neither is emailing besides transactional/marketing).

It's not European, rather a New Zealand company but I find https://zonomi.com/ pretty good. There's a Lego resolver that works fine https://github.com/go-acme/lego - although my only complaint is the DNS propagation takes a while though I suspect that's a my config problem (dig will show the txt record long before Lego sees it)
Thanks for sharing! Bookmarked immediately.
any good reason to serve the EU? I am observing through various SaaS and support tickets and EU seem no average way more finicky and stingy than North American customers not to mention the absurd level of EU regulations you have to follow just to serve the same product at a much higher cost. It's like a bad mix of culture (bordering on arrogance and pathological in some bad cases) and over regulation. I always advise…

I know it's boring to comment and say that something sounds like it was written by an AI, but this sounds like it was written by an AI. I am often especially suspicious of these listicle recommendation sites because it's pretty cheap and easy to have dozens of sites doing some list which just so happens to mention a specific service that 'quietly' does a 'surprisingly good job' of some doodad. This kind of submarine…
