Not switched yet as I am hanging on because I use Cloudflare tunnels. Might look at alternatives later on this year but a few projects need signing off before I can do that

gcore is russian.

Just a heads up that gcore is Russian, uses Russian repos for their VMS and is generally super unreliable.

1. Gcore (Luxembourg)

A Luxembourg-based cloud and edge computing provider, Gcore operates globally, offering impressive performance (over 200 Tbps) and robust DDoS safeguards. They also include a free starter tierโ€”great for smaller-scale projects.

2. Bunny.net (Slovenia)

Known for its lightning-fast speeds, user-friendly pricing, and attentive customer service, Bunny.net is a winner for startups and budget-conscious teams. Plans start at around โ‚ฌ1/month, and features include real-time monitoring, free SSL, perma-caching, and ultra-low average latency (~25โ€ฏms).

โ€

3. OVHcloud (France)

A respected name in European cloud hosting, OVHcloud offers CDN services as part of a wider hosting suite. With multiple service tiersโ€”Basic, Security, and Advancedโ€”and GDPR-compliant infrastructure, itโ€™s a strong all-in-one option, complete with a free trial to get started.

4. Myra Security (Germany)

For businesses that prioritize stringent data protection and hands-on support, Myra Security delivers. Their German-managed CDN uses pure RAM caching, defends against modern threats, and maintains fast delivery even under heavy trafficโ€”all while emphasizing customer satisfaction and sovereignty.

โ€

5. KeyCDN (Switzerland)

KeyCDN is all about simple, reliable performance. With efficient setup, image optimization, and free SSL via Letโ€™s Encrypt, it suits a range of usersโ€”from small businesses to enterprises focused on privacyโ€”without unnecessary complexity.

Gcore seems to be Russian.

[โ€“] Szewek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How come? I only can see a controversy from 2022 about hosting RT, and they have since suspended bussiness in Russia. I couldn't find any other connection.

[โ€“] SebaDC@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

The founder is Russian (or Belarusian). They were constrained to suspend their service in Russia, but most of their investors are still Russian.

Look at where they are implanted: only Russian influence circle (e.g. Uzbekistan) or targets (Lithuania, Ukraine).
