Europe Dedicated Servers — 4 countries, 5 cities, 59 plans
Bare-metal hosting across Germany (Falkenstein + Düsseldorf), France (Paris), Netherlands (Amsterdam) and the United Kingdom (London) — from $29/mo. Every plan: unlimited bandwidth on a dedicated 1 Gbps port, instant deployment, GDPR-aligned data residency. Pick by network reach, regulator fit, vendor preference, or workload — comparison and decision support is below, not just a list of cards.
Pick your European location
Four countries, each with a distinct reason to exist on this menu. The card below each country tells you what it does better than the other three. Click through for the full plan list, JSON-LD product schema and country-specific FAQ.
Germany 
Falkenstein + Düsseldorf
The strict-residency choice. AMD Ryzen + EPYC and Intel Core + Xeon side by side, EU privacy framework at its most enforceable.
France 
Paris
The lowest entry in Europe at $29/mo. South-EU latency leader and CNIL-aligned for French and EU enterprise customers.
Netherlands 
Amsterdam
AMS-IX adjacency means best peering in Europe by a wide margin. The choice for high-egress, CDN-back and bandwidth-hungry workloads.
United Kingdom 
London
Post-Brexit UK residency. LINX-adjacent for UK-customer workloads and the lowest transatlantic latency in Europe.
At-a-glance country comparison
All four European locations on one row each, side by side. This is the matrix most teams use to decide — start with billing model and compliance, then narrow on price range and vendor mix.

Pick by workload, not by marketing copy
For each common workload shape, the answer is usually one specific country. Below are the 10 picks that cover almost every real customer we've onboarded across the European fleet.
EU-resident SaaS with strict data residency
Customers in regulated industries demanding clean German residency. → Germany (Falkenstein or Düsseldorf). GDPR + BDSG + BSI C5 is the strictest enforceable framework on this menu.
Lowest possible EU entry price
Side projects, dev/staging, student work, learning bare metal, low-traffic sites. → France ($29/mo entry). Tied for the cheapest entry in the fleet alongside Netherlands.
High-egress streaming, CDN-back, mirrors
If you push 50+ TB/month of egress regularly. → Netherlands (Amsterdam, AMS-IX). Second-largest IX in the world means short paths to almost every EU eyeball network.
UK-only customer base or NHS / FCA workload
Post-Brexit UK contractual residency requirements. → United Kingdom (London). ICO + UK GDPR + DPA 2018 is the only fit when "UK" specifically is the requirement, not "EU".
Many-tenant Kubernetes / CI build farms
You need cores per dollar and density. → Germany (AMD EPYC 7502P at $266 — 32C/64T). Highest core-per-dollar density on the European menu.
Multi-tenant SaaS with global users
Customers all over the place, no single dominant audience. → Netherlands. Best transit egress to almost everywhere in the western hemisphere.
Database hosts with ECC and 192 GB+ RAM
PostgreSQL / MySQL / MongoDB with heavy memory needs. → Germany (Intel Xeon W-2145, 192 GB DDR4 ECC, $210/mo). Highest RAM ceiling on this fleet outside custom builds.
Email marketing & bulk SMTP from EU IPs
French / Spanish / Italian / Portuguese audience, EU CAN-SPAM equivalence. → France. CNIL-aligned, clean French IP reputation, RBL-checked allocations.
Transatlantic edge / US East coast pairing
You serve both UK / EU and US East Coast users from one origin. → United Kingdom (London). Lowest transatlantic RTT from Europe — typically 65–75 ms to US East.
Single-thread heavy: game servers, latency-sensitive apps
Tick-rate-bound game servers (Minecraft, Rust, CS2), real-time match-making, financial-feed parsing. → Germany (Intel Core i9-9900K, $132/mo). 5 GHz boost, sub-30 ms ping across most of EU.
European network reach — by audience region
Approximate round-trip times measured from each location to major audience regions. Real-world numbers vary by carrier and time of day, but the relative ordering is stable. Lower is better.

Multi-region failover patterns
Three patterns we see most often when a customer needs failover or active-active across European regions. Each pair below balances regulatory diversity, latency, and peering richness differently — pick the one that matches your audience and recovery objectives.
Strict residency primary in Düsseldorf or Falkenstein, AMS-IX-rich standby in Amsterdam. The most-used pairing on the fleet — covers GDPR-strict workloads while giving you the world's second-largest IX as a failover path.
Schengen-wide reach with regulator diversity (CNIL + BfDI). Good for organisations whose audit programs want two different national regulators in scope, or for South-EU + DACH audience coverage on a single backend.
Post-Brexit UK residency for UK customers + AMS-IX egress for everyone else. The classic pattern when contracts require UK residency but your CDN-back or mirror traffic benefits from Amsterdam peering.
