Website hosting in Leiden
Self-hosted European infrastructure on Hetzner — fast, secure, and fully under our control. Locally rooted in Leiden, fast and hassle-free.
European Hosting in Leiden: local and to the point.
Leiden combines world-class university excellence with a strong SME economy. The Bio Science Park is one of the largest in Europe.
The city aligns well with our approach: substantive, technical, quality-focused. We understand that knowledge-intensive companies seek content-driven, not flashy digital partners.
Hosting in Europe — by the team that built your site
Most hosting providers don’t know what runs on their servers. We do — because we built it. Every project we deliver runs on our own Hetzner Cloud infrastructure in Europe. Self-hosted, fully managed, with no black boxes.
That means: no dependence on American platforms. No GDPR risks with data outside Europe. No price hikes from a hosting provider you don’t even know. And no support tickets ending up with someone other than the people who know your site.
What’s included
Hetzner Cloud servers in Germany or Finland. Docker containerization per project — fully isolated. Cloudflare CDN & DDoS protection always active. SSL certificates managed and automatically renewed. Daily automated off-site backups. Performance monitoring with immediate alerts on issues. Media optimization via our own image pipeline.
All included with every project we build. No extra hosting contract, no external party, no handoff.
Who is this for?
For companies that understand hosting is more than just a server. That take GDPR seriously and want to keep data in Europe. That prefer to call the team who knows their product rather than submit a ticket to an anonymous helpdesk.

When is European hosting at Friendly Faces the right choice?
- You want GDPR-compliant hosting. Data in Europe, on servers we manage ourselves. No American cloud providers, no gray areas.
- You built a project with us. Hosting is always included. No handoff to a party unfamiliar with your site.
- Your current host is slow or unreliable. We honestly evaluate if migration makes sense — and execute it if it does.
