Sovereign Cloud
Your Cloud, Your Terms.
Appbox is built on hardware and network infrastructure we control, giving you the convenience of cloud apps without surrendering the platform to someone else's cloud.
Real servers. Real network. Real accountability.
We prefer direct control over the parts that matter: compute, storage, routing, capacity, and physical location. That lets us build Appbox as a product, not a thin layer over another provider.
No rented black box
We own and operate the servers your apps run on, so performance and maintenance are not hidden behind a hyperscale cloud abstraction.
Network control
Owning the routing stack lets us tune paths, capacity, peering, and fault response around Appbox workloads instead of generic cloud defaults.
Custom OCP hardware
Our custom Open Compute Project hardware is designed for efficient airflow, high density, and fast serviceability, so we can scale capacity without wasting power or space.
Clear data locality
Infrastructure lives in dedicated racks at Digital Realty AMS3 in Amsterdam, giving you a clear answer for where your data is hosted.
Better cost discipline
Owning the platform avoids per-request cloud billing traps like surprise egress, IOPS, or bandwidth multipliers, helping keep plans simple.
Built for Appbox
Because the hardware and network are ours, we can design around App Slots, boost, storage, backups, and one-click app installs from the ground up.



Ready-to-Deploy Apps.
A massive collection.
Host everything from databases and media servers to dev tools and communication platforms. Deploy enterprise-grade software with just a few clicks.
