Alplink is a European managed cloud hosting provider, focused on the segments most affected by digital sovereignty concerns: managed WordPress and managed Odoo Community Edition.
Our infrastructure runs entirely within the European Union. The company is incorporated in Estonia, operated by a European founding team, and contracts under EU law only. No portion of customer data flows through, or is legally accessible by, US-jurisdiction providers.
US-headquartered cloud providers remain subject to the CLOUD Act (18 U.S.C. ยง 2713) and exposed to the legal questions raised in Schrems II. For European businesses handling personal data, that is an unresolved compliance risk โ one that ENISA's EUCS assurance framework is making increasingly explicit.
Alplink removes the variable: every layer of the stack: infrastructure, support, billing, and legal entity operates under EU law only.
Privacy-aware SMBs, European agencies, public-sector projects, and organizations migrating off US hyperscalers for compliance, cost, or principle โ customers who want a managed hosting partner that treats data sovereignty as seriously as they do.

Alplink's answer
Alplink is built for European organizations that take data sovereignty and operational reliability seriously but do not have an in-house DevOps team.
In practice, that means:
Common thread: technical literacy without dedicated infrastructure staff, and a preference for working directly with operators rather than support queues.
Alplink's answer
Three properties set Alplink apart in the European managed hosting market.
Full-stack EU sovereignty, Not just "servers in Frankfurt". Every layer of the stack, from data centers to edge network to transactional mail to billing and the legal entity itself, operates exclusively under EU jurisdiction.
Engineer-operated, end to end. The people who design and run the infrastructure are the same people who answer support requests. No tiered support, no offshore handoff, no scripted responses.
Reproducible by design. Every server is defined declaratively in NixOS, version-controlled, and rebuildable from source. This is uncommon in managed hosting and it shows up directly in reliability, incident response, and audit readiness.
Alplink's answer
European businesses currently choose between two unsatisfying options.
US-based managed specialists (Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, Pressable and similar) offer strong products but remain subject to US data-access law regardless of where they place EU servers. CLOUD Act and Schrems II exposure cannot be eliminated by datacenter location alone; it requires an EU legal entity, which they do not have.
EU generalist providers (OVH, Scaleway, IONOS, Hetzner direct) are sovereign, but offer either unmanaged infrastructure or limited managed product depth, particularly for Odoo, which is essentially absent from their managed catalogues.
Alplink sits in the gap: a specialized managed product for WordPress and Odoo, full end-to-end EU jurisdictional alignment, and direct access to the engineers who run the infrastructure. Competitively priced, with no compliance asterisk and no support escalation chain.
Alplink's answer
Alplink was founded by two European engineers who spent years operating production systems for European clients and watched the same pattern repeat: organizations that genuinely cared about data sovereignty would still default to US-based managed hosting, simply because the European alternatives were either unmanaged or unspecialized.
Schrems II made the legal exposure explicit, and ENISA's EUCS framework is now codifying it. It became clear that "EU datacenter" was no longer enough โ the entire stack, including the legal entity, needed to be European for the sovereignty claim to actually hold.
The company is incorporated in Estonia, chosen for its e-Residency programme and transparent legal framework. It runs on EU-only infrastructure and is operated directly by its two co-founders, who continue to do both the engineering and the support. The goal is straightforward: make EU-sovereign managed hosting a serious product rather than a marketing checkbox.

Alplink's answer
Alplink is in its early customer-acquisition phase following public launch. As a matter of policy, we do not publish customer names without explicit written consent. References from existing customers can be provided on request to qualified prospects under NDA.
Very happy with its offers, it has a full suite of tools. Also the user experience is great. I am not sure about the privacy though. I am not confident enough to use it for sending and receiving confidential documents.
I used to use Gmail until 4 months ago. I was really happy with this mail, it is easy to handle and, being a Google member, there are many tools available to use. However, I started to learn about the security and privacy offered by Google, which is NONE. We are selling our information and personal data to a technological giant and, many times, we are not even aware of it.
This is why I deleted all but one of my Google-related accounts. As most people are still not aware of this, when working or contacting certain people for the first time, it is essential to do it through Gmail.
Today, there are a few alternatives to solve this lack of privacy. After doing an intensive search and reading comments, I decided to get an account with Mailfence and, honestly, I'm very happy with their service. It's an easy to use email, with end-to-end encryption, digital signatures, calendar, document saving capabilities, ... I really recommend it for all those who are starting in the world of privacy and security. The best thing is that you can create a free account and, if you are happy with the service or need more storage space, you can switch to a paid account.
I hope my opinion helps everyone, especially those who are thinking about whether it is really worth giving all our information in exchange for a free email.
