Yourhosting: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Yourhosting is a Dutch hosting provider with an address in Zwolle. Its range covers domain registration, forwarding and transfer, web hosting, VPS and managed VPS, business email, SSL certificates and backup. It also offers Microsoft Office 365 and Exchange Online, website builders including an AI builder for WordPress, and services such as migration and WordPress maintenance. The provider delivers these as online services, which are not available as software to install on the customer's own servers.

The company says its hardware is housed in data centres in the Netherlands and that data is stored securely in Europe. Yourhosting presents itself as a group: since 1 January 2022, seven companies, including Argeweb, Vevida and VIP Internet, have been described as part of Yourhosting. The website does not name a parent company or an owner. The services are not open source. For a European organisation the Dutch data centres and European storage are the main aspects; the group structure is a point to clarify when contracting.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Yourhosting

Yourhosting is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

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

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