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.

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.
MaxIOPS Block Storage
UpCloud's proprietary storage technology delivers up to 100,000 IOPS on read/write operations, verified in benchmarks like those from Cloud Spectator. This enables databases and high-traffic apps to run smoothly without bottlenecks. Storage attaches directly to servers, with snapshots for quick backups. Users benefit from consistent performance across all plans, unlike tiered systems elsewhere.
Global Data Centers and Networking
Choose from 13 locations: eight in Europe (Helsinki, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Warsaw, Stockholm, Copenhagen), plus Chicago, New York, San Jose, Singapore, and Sydney. Networking includes free load balancers, VPN gateways, and NAT for private connectivity. No charges apply for ingress or egress traffic, reducing bills for data-heavy workloads.
Managed Services and Essentials Package
Deploy managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, or OpenSearch databases with automated scaling and updates. Managed Kubernetes control planes handle etcd and upgrades. The free UpCloud Essentials package bundles daily backups, floating IPs, and basic firewalls at no added cost. API access supports automation for CI/CD pipelines.
| Assurance & compliance | TransIP | UpCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | 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. | Niet vermeld |
| ISO 27001 | Vendor claimed Vendor publishes ISO 27001:2022 PDF (team-blue-nl-bv naming). Independent registry re-check not completed in this draft. | Niet vermeld |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found No clear TransIP product-level SOC 2/3 claim found on primary legal/security pages reviewed. | Niet vermeld |
| NEN 7510 (Dutch healthcare information security) | Vendor claimed Vendor publishes NEN 7510:2017 certificate PDF; accounts processing medical data can be marked for extra handling per cert page. | Niet vermeld |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed Dutch controller/processor entity; privacy policy and control-panel DPA. Residency depends on selected product/zone. | Niet vermeld |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | 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. | Niet vermeld |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Vendor claimed Processor agreement available to view/accept in the control panel per knowledge base. | Niet vermeld |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Infrastructure hosting/registrar; not marketed as an AI system provider. Optional third-party AI assistant images on VPS are customer-chosen workloads. | Niet vermeld |
| Considerations & known limitations | TransIP | UpCloud |
|---|---|---|
| team.blue group entity complexity | 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. | Niet vermeld |
| US SaaS on website/payments path | 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. | Niet vermeld |
| Equinix-named OpenStack facilities | 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. | Niet vermeld |
| Narrower managed-platform depth than hyperscalers | 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. | Niet vermeld |
| No standalone public subprocessor register found | 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. | Niet vermeld |
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.
