UpCloud

UpCloud is a Finnish cloud infrastructure provider founded in 2011 in Helsinki, Finland. The company has built a reputation for delivering high-performance cloud servers with industry-leading uptime guarantees, positioning itself as a premium European alternative to both US hyperscalers and budget hosting providers. UpCloud's MaxIOPS storage technology consistently outperforms standard SSD storage in independent benchmarks.

The platform offers cloud servers with customizable configurations, managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, OpenSearch), managed Kubernetes, object storage, load balancers, SDN networking, server groups, and a robust API for infrastructure automation. UpCloud operates data centers in Helsinki, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Madrid, Warsaw, Singapore, New York, Chicago, and San Jose, giving customers broad geographic reach while maintaining strong European roots. The company offers a 100% uptime SLA, one of the few providers to make such a guarantee.

As a Finnish company operating under EU jurisdiction, UpCloud ensures that data stored in its European data centers is protected by GDPR and free from US extraterritorial data access laws. The company's focus on performance, reliability, and transparent pricing has earned it a loyal following among developers, SaaS companies, and digital agencies across Europe. UpCloud is a strong choice for workloads that demand consistent high performance alongside European data sovereignty.
