Arsys: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Arsys is a Spanish provider of web hosting and cloud services for businesses, agencies and individuals. Customers use its hosting and cloud infrastructure as a service rather than running their own servers. The company describes itself as a specialist in cloud and web hosting. It states that its main data centre is in Logroño, where it is headquartered, and it has offices in several other Spanish cities.

Arsys is a brand within United Internet AG, a German group, which is therefore its ultimate parent. The company states that it operates two data centres in Spain, which points to hosting within the EU. The public sources do not mention a self-hosting or open-source option. For a European organisation this is an EU-based provider with an EU-based group parent, so the remaining questions concern contractual terms and sub-processors, which should be confirmed directly with the provider.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Arsys

Arsys is headquartered in ES and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in DE, also within Europe.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Arsys scores best on data residency.

Arsys is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Arsys together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
