European Alternatives to US Hosting Platforms

Looking for a European alternative to Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages? Most static site hosts run on US infrastructure with USD billing and per-seat pricing. deploybase is built differently: EU-only infrastructure, flat EUR tiers, and zero overages. We built these comparisons to help you decide honestly — including what we don't do.

deploybase vs Netlify

US-hosted platform with a large plugin ecosystem

Netlify offers serverless functions, edge compute, and form handling — but runs on US infrastructure (AWS) with USD credit-based billing and per-seat pricing.

deploybase vs Vercel

Frontend cloud optimised for Next.js

Vercel excels at Next.js deployments with edge middleware and image optimisation. Data is processed through US infrastructure with USD-only pricing and per-seat fees.

deploybase vs GitHub Pages

Free static hosting tied to GitHub repositories

GitHub Pages is free and simple, but limited to GitHub repos, lacks branch previews, custom build commands, and team collaboration features. Hosted on Microsoft Azure (US).

deploybase vs StaticHost

Swedish static site host with EU infrastructure

StaticHost is EU-based like deploybase, but uses Stripe (US) for billing, charges per-seat, and applies Swedish VAT to all customers without B2B reverse charge.

Choosing the Right Static Site Host

The EU Hosting Gap

Most static site hosting platforms are built on US infrastructure. Netlify and Vercel run on AWS. GitHub Pages runs on Microsoft Azure. When a European company deploys to these platforms, their source code, build artifacts, access logs, and analytics data are processed through US servers — subject to US jurisdiction and data access requests. According to the European Data Protection Board's 2024 guidance, relying solely on Standard Contractual Clauses for US transfers requires additional technical safeguards that most hosting platforms don't implement. With 31% of search users now using generative AI tools that surface compliance information directly, this gap is increasingly visible to potential customers evaluating your stack.

deploybase was built to close this gap. Our entire stack runs on European providers: Scaleway (Paris) for compute and storage, Bunny.net (Slovenia) for CDN delivery across 100+ global PoPs, and Vatly for payment processing. No data crosses the Atlantic — not even billing data.

Pricing Without Surprises

The hosting industry has settled on a pricing model that's hard to predict: per-seat fees, usage-based overages, and credit systems denominated in USD. A 5-person team on Netlify Pro costs approximately $95/month ($19/member). The same team on Vercel Pro costs $100/month ($20/member). Add bandwidth overages — Netlify charges $55 per 100 GB beyond the plan limit — and monthly invoices become unpredictable.

deploybase uses flat EUR tiers with no per-seat pricing. Our Pro plan includes 5 team members for €19/month total. Scale includes unlimited members for €49/month. There are no overages: when you hit your plan's bandwidth limit, builds pause until the next billing period. Your invoice is the same every month. For EU businesses, we handle VAT correctly for all 27 member states, including B2B reverse charge — something none of the US platforms offer.

What We Don't Do

deploybase is purpose-built for static sites. We don't offer serverless functions, edge compute, form handling, or image optimisation pipelines. If your architecture requires server-side rendering at the edge or a built-in backend, Vercel and Netlify are better choices. We're not trying to be a full application platform.

What we do, we do well: git-connected deployments for 8 frameworks with auto-detection, branch preview URLs, instant rollback, custom domains with automatic TLS, password-protected share links, and global CDN delivery. For teams that use a JAMstack architecture — static frontend calling a separate API — deploybase handles the hosting so you can run your backend wherever you want.

EU Data Residency by Architecture

All data is stored and processed in the EU — Scaleway Paris infrastructure, Bunny.net CDN (EU-headquartered), Vatly payments. No AWS, no GCP, no Azure anywhere in the chain. Data residency is architectural, not contractual. Your compliance team can verify the entire stack.

Predictable EUR Billing

Four flat tiers priced in EUR. No per-seat fees, no credit systems, no overages. Annual billing saves 20%. Proper EU VAT with B2B reverse charge for all 27 member states. Invoices from Vatly, a European Merchant of Record — not Stripe, not a US payment processor.

Built for Static Sites

Git-connected deploys for Next.js, SvelteKit, Astro, Hugo, Vite, Gatsby, Jekyll, and static HTML. Framework auto-detection, branch previews, instant rollback, and real-time build logs. We do one thing and we do it well.

Global CDN, EU Origin

Sites are delivered via Bunny.net with 100+ points of presence across Europe, North America, Asia, and beyond. Your visitors get fast load times worldwide. Your data stays European. 99.99% uptime SLA from an EU-headquartered CDN provider.
