Four offshore
jurisdictions

Every Cryptoservers facility sits in a country picked for two things — strong free-speech precedent and carrier-grade connectivity. By design, no US, UK or German presence. Pick the one that fits your threat model.

Why these four?

Every jurisdiction was chosen based on the same two tests: how robust is speech protection under local law, and how well is the country wired to the rest of the internet. None of them are EU-wide data-retention zones, NATO signal-sharing hubs, or five-eyes members.

Iceland — EU-adjacent, non-member

Not in the EU. Not in NATO's signals-intelligence ring. Strong speech protection under Article 73 of the constitution and the 2010 IMMI resolution. Home of WikiLeaks' early mirror. Free-air cooling year-round; grid is 100 % renewable.

Netherlands — no mandatory data retention

2015 Dutch Supreme Court ruling struck down EU-wide data-retention rules domestically. Landing point for AMS-IX (second-largest IX in the world). Pragmatic enforcement: takedown requires a court order, not a DMCA email.

Romania — DMCA-resistant, cheap bandwidth

Consistently refused to enforce US take-down notices. 2014 ruling by the Constitutional Court also struck down blanket data retention. Extremely low cost-per-Gbps thanks to dense Eastern-European backbone peering.

Switzerland — non-EU, bank-secrecy regime

Not in the EU, not in NATO. Strongest bank-secrecy and federal privacy law in Europe — any disclosure needs a Swiss court order under Swiss law. Tier-IV seismic bunker with hydro-electric power backing the grid.

Location questions

Which location should I pick?
If your users are in Europe, pick Amsterdam (lowest latency, best peering). If content is the primary risk (piracy notices, journalism leaks, free-speech projects), pick Bucharest or Reykjavik. If you want the strongest privacy-law regime, pick Zurich. If you're targeting Nordic or transatlantic users specifically, Reykjavik has great transatlantic cable connectivity.
Can I move my server between locations later?
Yes — via snapshot migration. Schedule an image snapshot in the panel, pick a new location, and we deploy an identical VM there with the same root password and SSH keys. Dedicated moves require reinstall; we keep your disks for 7 days on the source so you can rsync at your own pace.
Do you plan to add more locations?
The shortlist for 2026: Helsinki (additional Nordic anchor), Sofia (redundancy for Bucharest), and Panama (non-European jurisdiction with strong privacy law and Pacific latency to LATAM). No ETA yet — we won't announce until contracts are signed and transit is provisioned.
Are any of these "fake" locations (proxied to somewhere else)?
No. Every location listed above is a real leased rack space in a real datacenter, with real local bandwidth and real local power. We publish the upstream carriers we use from each site in our network page. You can trace from your own ISP to an IP in any location and see it land there directly.
What's the real uptime track record, not just the SLA?
Trailing 12 months: IS-RKV 99.998 %, NL-AMS 99.997 %, RO-BUH 99.994 %, CH-ZRH 99.999 %. Main incidents were two planned maintenance windows in Bucharest (both announced 14 days ahead) and one 43-minute BGP leak from an upstream carrier in Reykjavik. Full post-mortems live on /status.
Do you publish jurisdiction-specific takedown statistics?
Yes — a transparency report every six months. It covers the count and nature of takedown requests received per jurisdiction, how many we complied with (which is < 0.5 % and limited to CSAM / credible-threat content), and how many were challenged in court. Next report: October 2026.
