🇳🇱 Amsterdam · Nikhef / AMS-IX campus

VPS hosting in Netherlands

If nothing about your jurisdiction argues for somewhere else, start here: it is our largest site and the shortest hop to the rest of the continent. Read the city-by-city numbers below rather than trusting one figure for a whole region, and look at Panama and Seychelles instead if legal distance matters to you more than milliseconds.

Legal posture

Amsterdam is inside the European Union, so the Digital Services Act is the law that decides what we do with a complaint about your server. Art. 16 puts us under a duty to accept one and to deal with it; a complaint carrying the detail Art. 16(2) sets out is treated as something we now know about. We weigh it on the merits, and you hear from us before your server does.

Questions

Netherlands VPS FAQ

How much does a VPS in Netherlands cost?

A Amsterdam VPS starts at $2.90 per month for 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe and 2 TB of transfer. The Standard configuration — 3 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 90 GB NVMe — is $8.90 per month. Netherlands carries a price index of ×1.00 against our Amsterdam baseline, reflecting real differences in transit and facility cost.

A Dutch collecting society emails us about your Amsterdam server. What happens?

You have probably read that an EU server ignores the DMCA. Half of that is right, and the wrong half is the half that decides things.

As a United States instrument that letter does nothing here: the Netherlands gives us no takedown clock to run and no counter-notice to file. But we are established inside the Union, and the Union has an answer of its own. The Digital Services Act obliges every hosting provider here to accept a complaint and deal with it, and once one carries the detail Art. 16(2) sets out we are treated as knowing what it says — with Art. 6(1) withdrawing our liability exemption if we then sit on it.

So: we read it, we tell you what arrived and who sent it, and you get a real opportunity to answer before anything touches your server. What we cannot tell you is that only an order from a Dutch court will ever move us, because inside the Union that describes a shield we do not have. If you want a letter that lands with nothing at all behind it, that is Iceland, Moldova, Panama or Seychelles.

Do I need ID to buy a VPS in Netherlands?

No. NimbusVPS applies the same policy in every location: no identity document, no phone number, no proof of address and no payment card. An email address and a cryptocurrency payment are all that is required, and Netherlands imposes no additional customer-identification obligation on hosting providers.

What is the latency to Amsterdam?

Typical round-trip times from Frankfurt 6 ms, London 8 ms, Paris 10 ms, New York 78 ms. The site runs on a 100 Gbps uplink at Nikhef / AMS-IX campus, a Tier III+ facility. The address printed in the latency panel above is a documentation example, not something you can ping yet; the panel says so and explains when the live target goes up.

What data retention law applies in Netherlands?

The Dutch general retention duty has not been in force since a court in The Hague suspended it in March 2015, the EU directive it implemented having been annulled the year before. Nothing here asks us to start writing a log we would otherwise not write, and access logs are kept for 0 days. Independently of local law, NimbusVPS operates 0-day access log retention — logs are not kept — and holds no identity data to retain in the first place.
