Where is everything hosted?

We don’t store any data using US providers. If it's not on our Penticton, BC servers (yes, we have our own servers!) or elsewhere in Canada, it's stored within the EU or other security and privacy focused countries.

We will always work to make things better, but your data is never stored in the US.

Servers

Hosted in Helsinki by Hetzner using strict Helsinki-only grouping and local firewall rules.

CDN

CDN is provided by Bunny.net, which is based in Slovenia (part of the EU), with replication for cache disabled in the US. Requests at times can still proxy through the main Hetzner servers from the closest server on Bunny.net's side, and that can be in the USA. When that happens, it's TLS-encrypted and sent to our EU servers where the data is actually stored.

Image & File Storage

File storage is also hosted by Bunny.net. Storage locations are set to Frankfurt (DE) and Stockholm (SE) to make speeds faster from Helsinki, but to keep data out of the US as well.

Domains

We use the Canadian provider Hover to host our many domains.

Code Storage

Most of the code is on a local server running an instance of Gitlab, and the public source is hosted on Gitlab itself. We are in the process of moving the public code to a Hetzner server and hosting it with Gitea.

Backups

Stored both internally in our office servers in Canada, and also in a Bunny.net private storage zone in Frankfurt (DE) for quick replication.
