Needs review
Shortlist TransIP when you want a Dutch BV contract for domains plus NL-hosted VPS, managed Kubernetes, OpenStack, or S3/SWIFT object storage. Skip when you need hyperscaler global regions or first-party managed databases; consider Hetzner, OVHcloud, or Scaleway instead.

Exoscale
Istanze compute ad alte performance
Le istanze compute Exoscale usano storage locale SSD con opzioni standard, CPU-optimized, memory-optimized e storage-optimized. Le dimensioni vanno da Micro (512 MB RAM, 1 core) a Jumbo (225 GB RAM, 24 core). Istanze GPU con schede NVIDIA (A30, V100, A40, A5000, RTX 6000 Pro) si adattano a task AI. Anti-affinity assicura distribuzione istanze tra host per resilienza. Snapshot e template custom aiutano backup e deployment. La fatturazione prorata al secondo; istanze spente pagano solo storage.
Servizio Kubernetes scalabile (SKS)
Kubernetes gestito deploya cluster in 120 secondi. Cluster Starter gratuiti (senza SLA), Pro offre uptime 99,95%. Gli utenti scalano worker node, gestiscono control plane via portale, CLI, API o Terraform. Si integra con network load balancer. Supporta app cloud-native tra zone.
DBaaS gestito e storage
DBaaS copre PostgreSQL, MySQL, Kafka, OpenSearch, Valkey e Grafana, con piani da Hobbyist (2 GB RAM) a Premium (225 GB RAM, repliche multiple). Object Storage compatibile S3 con multi-ridondanza e replicazione. NVMe Block Storage collega più volumi per istanza per esigenze bassa latenza. Traffico: ingress gratuito, intra-zone gratuito, 1 TB egress gratuito per istanza mensile.
TransIP
KVM VPS on AMS0/RTM0 with NVMe triple copies
Root VPS on TransIP's KVM platform with package tiers, optional dedicated vCPU and IOPS add-ons, private networking, HA-IP, and load balancers. Storage is described as distributed NVMe with three copies; free in-zone backups every four hours, with optional weekly and offsite backups.
Managed Kubernetes with free control plane
Control-panel Kubernetes where TransIP runs the control plane; customers add shared or dedicated worker node pools, attach NVMe or Big Storage volumes, and use HA-IP load balancing. Data is marketed as stored in the Netherlands with minute-based pay-as-you-go nodes.
OpenStack Public Cloud (API + Horizon)
Programmable OpenStack with Octavia load balancing, Barbican secret management, Cinder volume backups, and Terraform-friendly automation. First project is offered with a free trial window; infrastructure is described as multi-datacentre with triple rack-level copies.
S3 and SWIFT Object Store in the Netherlands
Object storage with S3 and OpenStack SWIFT APIs, Keystone/S3 token management, and triple replication across Dutch availability zones. Usable standalone or beside VPS/OpenStack; billed on used storage and egress rather than reserved blocks.
Domains, DNS, and REST API in one panel
Domain registration and DNS alongside infrastructure, with a documented REST API (api.transip.nl) for domains, VPS, Kubernetes, and OpenStack projects. Fits teams that want registrar plus compute under one Dutch operator.
| Assurance & compliance | Exoscale | TransIP |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Non indicato | Not applicable IaaS/hosting provider, not a no-logs VPN. Assurance is via ISMS certifications and responsible disclosure (Intigriti), not a public no-logs audit. |
| ISO 27001 | Non indicato | Vendor claimed Vendor publishes ISO 27001:2022 PDF (team-blue-nl-bv naming). Independent registry re-check not completed in this draft. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Non indicato | Not found No clear TransIP product-level SOC 2/3 claim found on primary legal/security pages reviewed. |
| NEN 7510 (Dutch healthcare information security) | Non indicato | Vendor claimed Vendor publishes NEN 7510:2017 certificate PDF; accounts processing medical data can be marked for extra handling per cert page. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Non indicato | Vendor claimed Dutch controller/processor entity; privacy policy and control-panel DPA. Residency depends on selected product/zone. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Non indicato | Partial EuropeanStack assessment: Dutch entity / no known US parent / NL-first hosting, but privacy names Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, and PayPal, and OpenStack KB names Equinix colo. Not a vendor safety claim. Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Non indicato | Vendor claimed Processor agreement available to view/accept in the control panel per knowledge base. |
| EU AI Act | Non indicato | Not applicable Infrastructure hosting/registrar; not marketed as an AI system provider. Optional third-party AI assistant images on VPS are customer-chosen workloads. |
| Considerations & known limitations | Exoscale | TransIP |
|---|---|---|
| team.blue group entity complexity | Non indicato | Low Brand is TransIP B.V.; certificates use team.blue NL B.V. Procurement should map the exact contracting entity, DPA signatory, and cert scope to the services purchased. |
| US SaaS on website/payments path | Non indicato | Medium Privacy policy discloses Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, and PayPal. These are not described as the VPS storage backend, but they affect overall vendor diligence and CLOUD Act style questionnaires. |
| Equinix-named OpenStack facilities | Non indicato | Low OpenStack facility list includes Equinix AMS3 (US-parent colo operator). Workloads remain in Amsterdam physically; treat as partial EU-hosted diligence, not AWS-region hosting. |
| Narrower managed-platform depth than hyperscalers | Non indicato | Medium No broad multi-continent region map or hyperscaler-class managed database suite on the pages reviewed. Teams needing those should plan self-managed stacks or another cloud. |
| No standalone public subprocessor register found | Non indicato | Medium Diligence relies on privacy policy, product pages, and DPA rather than a dedicated exhaustive subprocessor HTML table. Request an up-to-date schedule under NDA if required. |
Idoneità

Poor fit when
Non indicato
TransIP
Best fit when
- Teams that need domains, DNS, and root VPS under one Dutch operator
- Workloads that must stay in the Netherlands with AMS0/RTM0 style zone choice
- Builders who want managed Kubernetes without running their own control plane
- OpenStack users who want Horizon/API automation and EU-stored projects
- Backup/media pipelines that need S3 or SWIFT endpoints with Dutch triple replication
Poor fit when
- Architectures that require many non-EU regions as first-class products
- Buyers who need a broad first-party managed database catalogue
- Procurement that requires a published exhaustive customer-workload subprocessor register before scoring
- Teams seeking a fully open-source TransIP control plane (the company operates OpenStack/K8s but is not an OSS vendor)
Consider instead when
When: You need large bare-metal choice and owned DE/FI parks with optional extra-EU cloud
Consider: Hetzner
Deeper server auction and multi-park footprint; different registrar story.
When: You need multi-country EU cloud plus SecNumCloud-style private cloud paths
Consider: OVHcloud
Broader region map and product depth; French group contracting.
When: You want more EU region pins or managed data services with selectable residency
Consider: Scaleway or UpCloud
Compare region lists and managed DB/Kubernetes packaging directly.
When: You specifically want another Dutch IaaS peer for side-by-side diligence
Consider: Leaseweb or Cyso Cloud
Similar NL diligence questions; different panel and product mix.

TransIP
- Which legal entity signs the order form and DPA for your SKU mix (TransIP B.V. vs team.blue NL B.V.)?
- Can TransIP provide a current customer-workload subprocessor list covering backups, support tooling, and OpenStack facility operators?
- What is the exact ISO/NEN certificate scope relative to VPS vs Kubernetes vs OpenStack vs Object Store?
- Are offsite VPS backups always confined to Dutch availability zones under contract, including disaster scenarios?
