Digital Sovereignty
Your data in a Dutch datacenter, managed by a Dutch company. Plus: no lock-in and full control over your platform.
What is digital sovereignty?
Digital sovereignty is about control. Not just where your data lives, but your entire digital infrastructure. Can you leave your provider if you want to? Do you have visibility into what's running? Are you setting the roadmap, or is an American tech company doing that for you?
At Cloud.nl, you get that control back. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in, no surprises in the fine print.
Three pillars of digital sovereignty
Data sovereignty
Your data lives in the Netherlands, managed by a Dutch company. No Cloud Act, no foreign jurisdiction. When the US government comes knocking, we have no legal obligation to answer.
No lock-in
We use open standards wherever possible. Your data is exportable, your configuration is documented. If you want to leave tomorrow, we'll help you move. That's not a threat to us, it's how things should work.
You decide
No automatic feature updates breaking your workflow. No price hikes because a shareholder wants more margin. You decide when something changes in your infrastructure.
The problem with big tech
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are technically solid. No one denies that. But they're also American, publicly traded, and built to keep you inside.
The Cloud Act gives the US government the right to request data from American companies, even when that data sits in Europe. That's not a conspiracy theory, it's legislation since 2018.
And lock-in isn't a bug, it's the business model. Proprietary APIs, custom formats, pricing models that make migration expensive. The longer you stay, the harder it gets to leave.
How Cloud.nl works differently
Dutch company
Cloud.nl was founded in Dongen, owned by Dutch nationals. We fall exclusively under Dutch and European law. No foreign parent company, no obligations toward Washington.
Exit-ready
Your infrastructure is documented. Your data is exportable. We don't build golden cages. If you have a reason to leave, we'll help you with the transition.
Transparent pricing
Fixed monthly costs. No hidden egress fees, no surprise bills. You know what you're paying before you sign.
Real people
You call, we pick up. No ticket system where your question disappears. People who know your environment and have context.
Why now?
Regulations are tightening. NIS2, the EU Data Act, increasing political pressure around transatlantic data transfers. Companies that sort this out now won't be scrambling later.
And geopolitics makes it concrete. Whatever changes in Washington, your data stays here, under Dutch law, managed by people you can call.
