For a Dutch resident, it is a local server. A stricter reading of offshore means outside the EU. On that reading the Netherlands does not qualify: it is a founding EU member. In Europe, our two locations outside the EU are covered in [is Iceland good for an offshore VPS](https://offshorekvm.com/offshore-vps-iceland/ "Offshore VPS in Reykjavik, Iceland") and [is Switzerland good for an offshore VPS](https://offshorekvm.com/offshore-vps-switzerland/ "Offshore VPS in Zurich, Switzerland"). At OffshoreKVM, the company is offshore as well. OffshoreKVM is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, and answers only to Panamanian law. The datacenter that houses each VPS is in its own country and follows that country’s law. An Amsterdam VPS from us pairs a Dutch datacenter with a Panamanian operator. ## How many offshore hosts offer a VPS in the Netherlands? **The Netherlands is the most common offshore VPS location: 26 of the 36 active hosts in OffshoreKVM's check of 29 October 2026 offer it.** The next countries are the United States (17 hosts), Germany (13) and Switzerland (12). Amsterdam alone is named by 18 hosts. Among smaller hosts with 12 countries or fewer, 20 sell the Netherlands. Amsterdam is also a large meeting point of networks.

KVM 1 costs $3.08. ## What laws apply to a VPS in Amsterdam? **Dutch law and EU law apply to the Amsterdam datacenter, as they apply to any server in the Netherlands.** The Netherlands has been an EU member since 1958. The GDPR, the EU data protection regulation, has applied there since 25 May 2018. On 11 March 2015, the District Court of The Hague annulled the Dutch data retention law, with immediate effect. That law had required telecom providers to store communication and location data on everyone in the Netherlands for up to a year. OffshoreKVM is run by a Panamanian company and answers only to Panamanian law. The datacenter follows Dutch law, and we do not control its network equipment.
