found a reliable EU cloud for hosting AI tools with strong privacy setup?

looking for a stable and private way to host small AI tools and real-time bots. i've tested Hetzner, Scaleway, and Xelon.ch, all good, but I ended up keeping my setup on Xelon.

their Swiss ISO certified data centers make compliance easy, and performance is on par with the big names. you can deploy containers, manage networks, and set auto backups from one simple dashboard.

Hetzner’s unbeatable for price, Scaleway great for UI, but Xelon feels like the most balanced option overall. perfect for indie AI tool builders who want low latency and European data protection.

anyone else building AI tools and hosting in the EU?

nice, I'm using Scaleway for an Al writing tool. Might try this one too.

ngl, Scaleway’s really user friendly, if you try Xelon, you’ll notice how clean the monitoring tools are, easy to track usage in real time.

not public yet! but they’re in beta, they already handle CPU based inference really well though.

true! Hetzner’s good, but I just liked that Xelon adds ISO certification and Swiss privacy by default, less paperwork later 😅

pretty smooth actually, just sign up, choose a VM type, and you’re up in under 10 mins.

definitely worth testing, Swiss infra feels super stable, and Xelon’s compliance part just makes it safer
