The best Dutch cloud and hosting providers (2026)
Looking for a Dutch cloud or hosting provider? We have put the main players from the wider Dutch cloud and hosting landscape in one place, from VPS and public cloud to dedicated and data centre.
The Dutch cloud and hosting landscape
The Netherlands has a rich and mature cloud and hosting landscape, from developer-friendly VPS providers to data centres with dedicated infrastructure. This is the broadest of our three overviews: it covers public cloud, IaaS, VPS and dedicated hosting. If you specifically need European jurisdiction or single-tenant infrastructure, see our separate overviews for those.
How this list came about
We mapped the Dutch landscape using publicly available sources (industry reporting, data centre and provider websites), and included only providers with a demonstrable Dutch profile. We link to each provider so you can compare for yourself; this is an ordered overview, not a ranking with invented scores.
