Order 1 to 50 users online, or a dedicated Nextcloud Enterprise instance for larger organisations.
Why host Nextcloud here
Why host Nextcloud in Germany
Germany is the Nextcloud market: the software is made in Stuttgart, German public bodies set the tone for how the GDPR is read across Europe, and the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG) layers national rules on top of it. For a German company, a Verein or a public body, hosting in Germany is the answer that needs no explanation to a Datenschutzbeauftragter, an auditor or a works council: the data is inside the EU, so no transfer mechanism applies, and inside Germany, so the national supervisory authorities are the only ones in the picture. Our guide for German businesses maps the BDSG and GDPR obligations onto Nextcloud's features.
MassiveGRID's European region is served from Frankfurt, home of DE-CIX, the largest internet exchange on the continent. That makes a Frankfurt instance fast not only for Munich and Hamburg but for users across central and eastern Europe, which matters for companies with offices in Vienna, Zurich, Prague or Warsaw. Austrian and Swiss organisations often choose it for the same reason, with the caveat that Swiss companies under the FADP should read our Swiss guide first.
What the GDPR asks of the provider, MassiveGRID answers: ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified operations, a data processing agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) available on request, TLS on every connection, AES-256 encryption of stored files and backups, and daily backups kept for 30 days in a separate datacenter. What it asks of you, the Nextcloud platform supports: per-folder access control, retention and deletion policies, file access logs, two-factor authentication and data export for subject access requests. Organisations under sector rules have further reading in our DORA and NIS2 guides.
