Gigas Hosting: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Gigas Hosting S.A. is a Spanish cloud and hosting company with its registered office in the Madrid region. Its shares are listed on the BME Growth market. The offer includes cloud data centre services, VPS, virtual desktops, SAP and Sage hosting, backup and disaster recovery, and managed cybersecurity. The company also runs its own virtualisation software, Gyper, and offers AI applications for SAP and document management as a service.

Gigas says its services run from several regional data centres in Spain, Portugal, Ireland, the United States (Miami) and Latin America, and that customer data resides exclusively in those centres. For a European organisation, the Spanish seat and the EU sites are the relevant points. The Miami and Latin American sites lie outside the EU, so the location used for each customer should be fixed in the contract. The website names no parent company or shareholder.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Gigas Hosting

Gigas Hosting 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.

Gigas Hosting hosts data in EU, US, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Gigas Hosting 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 Gigas Hosting together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
