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.

A lot of the alternatives there are tagged "EU hosted". Some are not. Are the ones that are tagged "EU hosted" among the ones you mean host on Google Cloud, AWS or Microsoft?

Take Tally (tally.so), the one I took the time to check.

In their footer they say: Made and hosted in the EU which technically it's not wrong, but since they are using Google Cloud and Cloudflare, they are not insulated from the effect of the CLOUD Act.

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…

The use of the word genuinely is always a dead giveaway

It genuinely is.

On Herzner add Dokploy (Honduras, I prefer this even if it's not European) or Coolify (Hungary) to get a Vercel-like PaaS experience for free. Any others that are good?

We've been building canine.sh free and open source for an enterprise ready deployment platform.

Think about it like coolify is to a VPS as Canine is to Kubernetes.

What about DNS buying/hosting? Seems it's not mentioned (neither is emailing besides transactional/marketing). I'm currently on DNSimple but been trying to replace it with some closer to home (Europe) alternative that still offers the same level of possible automation as DNSimple does, anyone know of any that fits the bill?

Bunny.net is based in Europe

As someone who tries to "buy local", I have been a happy customer of the following recommended services for many months or years:

- Hetzner (Cloud, Box, and Object Storage)

- Brevo (for transactional emails)

- Mollie

For monitoring I use and recommend UpDown.io, which doesn’t seem to be listed there.

Yeah you just allow setting a new passkey by sending an email link, just like password resets. Passkeys don't have to be remembered, can't be phished, and don't need 2FA.
