Three Price Hikes in Four Days
In spring 2026, Europe’s largest hosting providers raised their prices dramatically:
- Hetzner โ up to +43% on popular VPS plans
- OVHcloud โ up to +67% on certain services
- Netcup โ up to +24% effective May 1, 2026
Three major increases in just four days. The pattern is clear: big European providers are squeezing margins, and customers are paying the price.
No-Ack Hosting has NOT raised prices. Our plans cost the same today as when they launched. And we have no plans to change that.
Data Breaches โ Trust Is Eroding
In March 2026, threat actors on BreachForums claimed to have compromised 1.6 million customer records from one of Europe’s largest hosting providers โ reportedly up to 590 TB of data. The provider denied it, but trust has been damaged.
This isn’t an isolated incident. Large-scale hosting companies managing millions of customers are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks. The bigger the platform, the bigger the target.
With No-Ack Hosting, your data stays in our own datacenter in Stockholm โ not in massive multinational cloud infrastructures.
CLOUD Act vs GDPR: The Legal Threat to Your Data
Did you know that 92% of European cloud infrastructure is controlled by American companies โ AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud?
This means your data, regardless of where the server is physically located, can be subject to the US CLOUD Act. This American law gives US authorities the right to demand data from American companies โ regardless of where in the world that data is stored.
The Schrems II ruling (2020) established that the US does not provide adequate data protection under EU standards. Yet most European businesses continue to use American infrastructure.
What Does This Mean in Practice?
If your hosting provider has American ownership, American parent companies, or American infrastructure, then:
- FBI, NSA, and other agencies can request your data without your knowledge
- Your company’s customer data, trade secrets, and communications could be exposed
- You could be violating GDPR without even knowing it

NIS2 and the New Cybersecurity Act
On January 15, 2026, Sweden’s new Cybersecurity Act came into force โ the implementation of the EU’s NIS2 Directive. The law sets strict requirements for supply chains, risk management, and incident reporting.
Key deadlines:
- June 2026: First audits required for affected organizations
- Subcontractors (including hosting providers) are covered by the requirements
Why Swedish Hosting Simplifies NIS2 Compliance
With a Swedish hosting provider under Swedish jurisdiction:
- No cross-border data transfers to document
- Simpler risk analysis โ one legal framework, one supervisory authority
- Shorter incident reporting chain
- Fully GDPR-compatible without supplementary protective measures (which are required with US hosting)
