Aitire VPS: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Aitire VPS is a virtual private server and cloud infrastructure service from Aitire S.L. of Vigo, Spain. Each virtual server can be sized independently and can have its compute, memory or disk increased while running, without a restart. Servers are available unmanaged or managed, with a web control panel for day-to-day administration. According to the vendor, storage is software-defined with Ceph, and backups are copied daily in encrypted form to a second data centre.

Aitire S.L. is headquartered in Spain, and no foreign parent company is stated. The vendor reports that its infrastructure runs in data centres in the Madrid area and that it operates its own autonomous network system. The location of the external backup data centre is not stated, so ask the vendor. The service is hosted by the vendor only; there is no self-hosted variant. The privacy policy on the website refers to the GDPR for personal data processed through the site, so request a data processing agreement for hosted workloads.
