# Where to host a web app in the Czech Republic in 2026

Last updated: 2026-11-10

For an app that must run on Czech servers, **Zerops** asks the least of you: a developer platform with a Prague data centre, managed databases and billing by the minute. **MasterDC** and **WEDOS** sell virtual servers from their own Czech data centres if you'd rather run the machine yourself, and **vshosting** looks after managed servers for larger shops. If your contract only asks for the EU, **Hetzner** in Germany and **Eurobase** widen the choice, but neither runs your app in the Czech Republic.

## Czech hosting options compared

| Platform | Company | Czech location | Type | Starts at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zerops | Zerops s.r.o., Czech team spun off from vshosting | Prague data centre, plus US regions | Managed platform | Free project core, plus resources by the minute |
| MasterDC | Not stated | Data centres in Prague and Brno | VPS, cloud and managed servers | Linux VPS from €11 a month |
| WEDOS | WEDOS, a.s., Hluboká nad Vltavou | Two data centres of its own, town not stated | VPS and shared webhosting | 116.75 Kč a month excl. VAT for the smallest VPS ON |
| vshosting | Part of the Contabo Group | Prague, among other sites | Managed servers and private cloud | Not stated |
| Hetzner | Gunzenhausen, Germany | None: nearest are Falkenstein and Nuremberg | Servers you run | €6.49 a month excl. VAT in Germany, when in stock |
| Eurobase | Registered in Warsaw, Poland | None: European infrastructure run by Scaleway, a French provider | Managed app platform | Free plan, then €10 a month + VAT |

Prices are from each provider's own page, checked on 9 and 10 November 2026.

## What to settle before you pick a provider

- **Czech soil or just the EU.** The GDPR doesn't prefer one member state over another. A Czech location matters when a tender, a customer contract or a sector rule names it, so read the exact wording. For where the data sits versus who controls it, see [data residency vs data sovereignty](/i/data-residency-vs-data-sovereignty).
- **How much of the server you want to own.** A VPS gives you root access and leaves patching, backups and monitoring with you. A platform like Zerops takes those jobs but adds its own config file and billing model.
- **Which region you actually select.** Zerops also lists US regions, and vshosting's group has data centres on several continents. Choose Prague on purpose.
- **Public-sector requirements.** If you sell to Czech public administration, ask each provider for its certification to supply cloud services there. MasterDC states that it holds Security Level III for that use.

## 1. Zerops

Zerops was founded in 2024 by a team from the Czech managed host vshosting and runs on its own hardware. Its docs place its European servers in its own data centre in Prague, run with vshosting's admin team, and its home page lists the region codes prg1, ny1 and sea1, with sgp1 in Asia still to come. You describe a project in a `zerops.yaml` file and get Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, .NET and other runtimes on a private network with managed PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Valkey, Kafka and object storage. It states ISO 27001 certification, with SOC 2 in progress, and offers a CLI and an MCP server for coding agents.

- **Best for:** teams that want an app, its database and its queue in a Prague data centre without running servers.
- **Price:** you pay nothing for a Lightweight project core or $10 a month for a Serious one. On top, containers cost $0.60 per shared CPU core, $3 per GB of RAM and $0.10 per GB of disk for each 30 days, counted by the minute. The pricing page doesn't mention VAT.
- **What it lacks:** a fixed monthly bill. What you pay follows the resources your containers use.

## 2. MasterDC

MasterDC has provided IT infrastructure for nearly thirty years from data centres in Prague and Brno. It sells VPS, cloud servers, dedicated machines, Kubernetes and housing, and every server is also available as a managed variant with round-the-clock support. Its site says it is certified at Security Level III to provide cloud computing to public administration.

- **Best for:** Czech companies and public bodies that want local servers with an operations team behind them.
- **Price:** Linux VPS on KVM from €11 a month and Windows VPS on Hyper-V from €13 a month, though the same page's headline says hosting starts at €13. VAT treatment isn't shown on that page.
- **What it lacks:** administration in the base VPS price. Server administration, backup and monitoring are listed as extra services.

## 3. WEDOS

WEDOS, a.s. is registered in Hluboká nad Vltavou. The business started in 2010 as a Czech web host that built its own data centre, and its Czech site now speaks of two. Its parent, WEDOS Group SA, is headquartered in Luxembourg. On its Czech site it sells shared webhosting and VPS ON, a virtual server where you pick CPU threads, 1 to 16 GB of RAM and SSD space separately.

- **Best for:** small Czech projects that need a cheap virtual server or PHP hosting at home.
- **Price:** VPS ON with 1 shared CPU, 1 GB of RAM and 5 GB of SSD comes to 116.75 Kč a month excl. VAT. The calculator marks this as an indicative price.
- **What it lacks:** included administration. VPS ON gives you full admin rights, while backups, management and monitoring come as add-on services.

## 4. vshosting

vshosting has two decades of managed hosting behind it and says it serves more than 40,000 online projects. It builds custom infrastructure, managed servers, private cloud, Kubernetes and GPU servers, with administrators on call around the clock. Through the Contabo Group it reaches data centres in Prague, several German cities, the US, Asia and Australia.

- **Best for:** larger online shops and companies that want a partner to design and operate the whole setup.
- **Price:** quoted per project after a consultation and a free solution proposal. The home page shows no list prices.

## 5. Hetzner

Hetzner, based in Gunzenhausen, rents cloud servers in Falkenstein and Nuremberg across the German border, and also in Helsinki, the US and Singapore. When the requirement is EU hosting rather than Czech soil, a machine in a neighbouring country does the job.

- **Best for:** teams that run Linux comfortably and only need servers inside the EU.
- **Price:** its smallest plan, the CPX02, costs €6.49 a month excl. VAT in the German locations and €5.49 in Helsinki. On 10 November 2026 Hetzner showed those entry plans as unavailable to order, so check stock before you plan around them.
- **What it lacks:** a Czech location.

## 6. Eurobase

Eurobase deploys apps from a Git push. Its operating business has its registered office in Warsaw, Poland, and your app runs on European infrastructure run by Scaleway, a French provider. Next.js, Astro, Nuxt and other frameworks run on [V8 isolates](/docs/workers), and Node.js, Python or Go servers run as [containers](/docs/containers). You connect GitHub or GitLab, or let a coding agent deploy through [the MCP server and CLI](/docs/agents).

- **Best for:** Czech teams whose customers ask for EU hosting, not Czech soil, and who want one flat monthly price.
- **Price:** start on the Free plan, then pay €10 for Starter or €20 for Pro a month + VAT, for the whole workspace. There are no usage charges today. Work over a limit is refused, apps on V8 isolates and Functions stop until the monthly reset, and containers and static sites keep serving.
- **What it lacks:** any Czech location, preview deployments, Dockerfile builds and managed Postgres, MySQL or Redis. Certification work for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 is under way, and neither is held today. If you connect GitHub or GitLab Inc., that company becomes a US subprocessor.

## How to choose

- Choose **Zerops** for a managed platform and databases in Prague, billed by what you use.
- Choose **MasterDC** for VPS or managed servers in Prague or Brno, especially for public-sector work.
- Choose **WEDOS** for a small Czech virtual server you size piece by piece, or for PHP hosting.
- Choose **vshosting** when you want a team to design and run the infrastructure for you.
- Choose **Hetzner** or **Eurobase** when the EU is enough. The [host in the EU guide](/docs/guides/host-in-the-eu) walks through a Eurobase setup, and [Where to host a web app in Germany](/i/hosting-in-germany) covers the German options in more depth.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I have to host in the Czech Republic to comply with GDPR?

No. The GDPR applies equally across the EU, so a server in Germany, Poland or France meets it as well as one in Prague. You need Czech hosting only when something outside the GDPR, such as a customer agreement or a public tender, asks for it. The [GDPR hosting checklist](/i/gdpr-hosting-checklist) lists what the regulation does ask of your provider.

### Is Zerops a Czech company?

Zerops s.r.o. was founded in 2024 as a spin-off of vshosting, by a team from the Czech Republic, and runs on its own hardware. Because it also lists US regions, a Czech company alone doesn't put your app in Prague. Check which region each project uses. For why the contracting company matters as much as the server, see [EU region vs EU company](/i/eu-region-vs-eu-company-cloud-act).

### Which Czech providers can serve public administration?

MasterDC says it is certified at Security Level III for cloud services to Czech public administration. Ask any other provider for its certificate before a tender. [Public sector cloud in Europe](/i/public-sector-cloud-europe) explains how national schemes fit into procurement.

### Does Eurobase have a data centre in the Czech Republic?

No. Your app runs on European infrastructure run by Scaleway, a French provider, and none of it is in the Czech Republic. If Czech soil is a hard requirement, pick Zerops, MasterDC, WEDOS or vshosting instead.
