I'd love to use this, but notice it's hosted in the EU, is there any way of ensuring we go through UK servers only?



Our infra is split across France (our API, database, inbound servers etc.), Germany (backups) and UK (outbound SMTP servers).

Unfortunately we haven't seen enough demand in the UK to set up a UK only infra (nor are there any UK cloud providers that would work for us?)


For what it's worth we have to stand up a UK infrastructure for UK customers and EU for EU customers, it really sucks.


That's a shame. There are many UK cloud providers, who would work - what do you need, I'd be happy to make suggestions?


Containers IaaS, plus managed Postgres. So far I’ve only found UK hosts that do VPS, VMs, or bare metal- the abstraction above this is (heroku, fly.io etc.) makes Ops 10x easier for smaller companies


Civo.io have had both for many years and for Katapult.io these are coming in April. Both are british companies, if you need referring feel free to shout.


Thanks for these recommendations - both of these look like the sort of thing I've been looking for and failing to find for several weeks. And @albertgoeswoof - pretty sure we'll be gradually moving a lot of clients over to you soon too.
