Dedicated Synology NAS hosting

Why European businesses are switching to dedicated Synology hosting

From the Trump administration demanding access to data held overseas to the Schrems II ruling on the risks of foreign data hosting, the message for European businesses is clear: your data is only safe when it is stored within the EU.

The problem

The hidden cost of storing data abroad

Many European businesses pay high prices for data storage and security, often to foreign providers that do not put their needs first. Every month brings another large invoice, and the data still is not truly under their control.

Meanwhile the risks grow. GDPR violations can lead to heavy fines and damage a reputation that took years to build. Since the Schrems II ruling, and with growing political tension, foreign storage has become riskier still. And managing it is harder than ever: switching between providers, unexpected fees and difficult scaling.

A hand reaching across the ocean for European data
The solution

Your own Synology NAS, hosted in the EU

Keep your data secure, compliant and 100% within EU borders, without draining your budget. vBoxx Dedicated Synology Hosting gives you data sovereignty, privacy and full control, with no upfront costs and built-in tools that save you money from day one.

Add users for free

Unlike cloud services such as Microsoft 365, Synology's built-in apps (for example Synology Office) have no per-user fees. Adding users is free, which saves you thousands as your team grows.

No upfront costs or hidden fees

Host your Synology NAS in vBoxx's secure EU datacenters without buying expensive hardware. Pay only for what you use, whatever the size of your business.

Fully GDPR compliant

Your data is hosted in secure EU datacenters, in line with the GDPR and other EU regulations. No more worrying about foreign laws or geopolitical risks.

Take back control of your data

Fully private hosting means no shared resources: your data is yours alone. End-to-end encryption and regular backups protect it from breaches.

Scale with ease

From a small business to a large enterprise, the solution grows with you. Upgrade storage and performance when you need to, without long-term contracts or hidden fees.

Enterprise-grade security

Advanced firewalls, end-to-end encryption and regular backups keep your data safe, and 24/7 monitoring keeps uptime and reliability high.

What our clients say

Clients from a wide range of markets and industries give us 4.7 out of 5 stars on average.

I switched to vBoxx because of their transparency on privacy and sustainability. I'm really happy with the service, pricing and customer service. vBoxx even offered a private zoom tutorial to help me set the cloud up, and answer my questions. Highly recommend.
SuzySeptember 2024
In addition to a secure cloud solution for my own data, I can very easily share files and folders with customers of my administration office, GDPR proof. I offer my customers a personalized and secure environment. Confidential data is therefore no longer sent via email. If you can't figure it out, the helpdesk responds very quickly.
