Where to host a web app in Switzerland in 2026

Swiss platforms and clouds for web apps compared: Infomaniak, Deploio, Exoscale, cloudscale and Upsun, plus when an EU host is enough instead.

View as Markdown

If you want a platform that builds and runs your app for you on Swiss soil, look at Infomaniak's Jelastic Cloud from Geneva or Deploio from Nine in Zurich. If you'd rather run servers or Kubernetes yourself, Exoscale has zones in Geneva and Zurich, and cloudscale runs two cloud locations in Switzerland. Upsun offers a Zurich region, though that region runs on Google Cloud.

Eurobase doesn't host in Switzerland. It's an option only when your app may live anywhere in Europe and Swiss storage isn't a hard rule.

What to check before you pick a Swiss host

Swiss data, or a Swiss company. A server in Zurich run by a US or French company is a different answer from a Swiss company in a Swiss building. Decide which one your contract or customer asks for.
Who owns the hardware. Some Swiss platforms run their own data centers, others rent space from Equinix, and some regions sit on a hyperscaler. The difference between data residency and data sovereignty matters here.
How much you want to operate. A PaaS takes a Git push. Cloud servers and Kubernetes leave the operating system, patches and deploys to you.
Currency and VAT. Infomaniak, Deploio and cloudscale list prices in Swiss francs, while Exoscale lets you pick EUR, CHF or USD. Deploio's calculator adds 8.1% VAT on top.
Managed databases. If your app needs Postgres or MySQL, check that the same provider runs it in Switzerland so data doesn't leave the country.

1. Infomaniak

Infomaniak is headquartered in Geneva with a branch in Zurich, and says it runs its own data centers in Switzerland. Its Jelastic Cloud is a PaaS where you combine app containers, databases and load balancers, with Node.js, PHP, Java, Python, Docker and Kubernetes supported, and it says Jelastic Cloud is hosted only in its Swiss data centers. It also sells a simpler Node.js hosting plan and an OpenStack public cloud with managed Kubernetes and a database service for MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Redis. Infomaniak has been certified ISO 27001 since 2018.

Best for: teams that want one Swiss company for the app, the database and the servers.
Price: Jelastic Cloud is billed by the hour from prepaid credit, and its example of one 128 MB container with 20 GB of storage and an IP comes to CHF 6.31 a month. There's a 14-day free trial. Node.js hosting starts at CHF 10.91 a month after 30 free days. Public Cloud starts with CHF 300 of credit for 3 months. Prices exclude VAT.
What it lacks: a flat price for Jelastic Cloud, since cost follows the resources your containers use.

2. Deploio

Deploio is a PaaS from Nine Internet Solutions AG in Zurich that turns a Git repository into a running app. Nine handles build, release, TLS and backups, and you can bring a Dockerfile. It offers managed PostgreSQL and MySQL, a Redis-compatible key-value store, OpenSearch and S3-compatible object storage. Deploio states that it's Swiss owned, keeps data in Switzerland under Swiss law, and is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001.

Best for: a Heroku-style workflow with app, database and storage all in Switzerland.
Price: set in its calculator in CHF per month excl. VAT, billed on actual use in minutes, with apps, databases and add-ons priced separately.
What it lacks: support in French or Italian. Its site says support is available in English and German only.

3. Exoscale

Exoscale is a cloud from Lausanne, a trademark of Akenes SA and a member of A1 Digital. Its Swiss zones are CH-GVA-2 in Geneva and CH-DK-2 in Zurich, both in Equinix data centers, and it also has zones in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia and Spain. It sells instances billed by the second, managed Kubernetes and managed PostgreSQL and MySQL.

Best for: teams that run containers or virtual machines and want Swiss zones with a Swiss company behind them.
Price: the Micro instance with 512 MB is 0.00729 an hour on its price list, the same figure in EUR and CHF. Prices exclude any applicable tax.
What it lacks: a Git-to-production platform. You build and deploy the app yourself.

4. cloudscale

cloudscale is a cloud provider from Zurich that operates two cloud locations in Switzerland, which allows setups that survive the loss of one site. It offers virtual servers, GPU servers, load balancers and S3-compatible object storage hosted in Switzerland, with Terraform, Ansible and an API for automation.

Best for: developers who are happy to run their own servers and want simple Swiss pricing.
Price: billed to the second. The smallest listed server, Flex-4-1 with 4 GB and 1 vCPU, is CHF 1.10 per 24 hours, and each server includes 100 GB of free traffic per 24 hours.
What it lacks: a managed app platform. Builds, deploys and updates are your job.

5. Upsun

Upsun is a PaaS run by Platform.sh SAS, doing business as Upsun, in Paris. It creates a full environment for each branch, services included, and it offers a Zurich region called ch-1. The Upsun regions page shows Google as the provider for that region.

Best for: teams that want preview environments per branch and a Swiss region.
Price: €9 per project and €10 per user a month, with resources billed per second on top.
What it lacks: Swiss ownership. The company is French and the Zurich region runs on a US cloud.

6. Eurobase, when Europe is enough

Eurobase deploys web apps from Git to European infrastructure run by Scaleway, a French provider. It runs Next.js, Astro, Nuxt and similar frameworks on V8 isolates, and servers in Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP and .NET as containers. Claude Code, Cursor and other coding agents can ship to it with the Eurobase MCP server or CLI. It has no Swiss location, so it won't meet a requirement that data stays in Switzerland.

Best for: Swiss teams whose customers accept hosting in the EU, and who want a fixed monthly price.
Price: the Free plan costs nothing, and paid plans are €10 or €20 a month + VAT, covering every project in the workspace. Nothing is billed for usage: 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: a Swiss region, preview deployments, managed Postgres, MySQL or Redis, and Dockerfile builds. It doesn't hold ISO 27001 or SOC 2 yet; both are in progress.

How to choose

Need a Swiss company and Swiss data with a managed platform: Infomaniak or Deploio.
Run your own containers, VMs or Kubernetes: Exoscale or cloudscale.
Want preview environments and accept a Zurich region on Google Cloud: Upsun.
Only need to stay in Europe: compare EU platforms in the best European PaaS providers, including Eurobase.

Frequently asked questions

Is hosting in the EU allowed for Swiss personal data?

Often, yes. Swiss data protection law lets personal data go freely to the countries the Federal Council lists in Annex 1 of the Data Protection Ordinance, so check that the country your EU host uses is on that list. The EU's adequacy decision for Switzerland covers the other direction, data sent from the EU to Switzerland. Some customers, banks or public bodies still ask in their contracts for Swiss storage, so read yours before choosing.

Does a Zurich region from AWS, Google or Microsoft count as Swiss hosting?

It puts the servers in Switzerland, while the company running them stays American. If your concern is foreign legal access rather than location, read EU region vs EU company first.

Which Swiss host works like Heroku?

Deploio and Infomaniak's Jelastic Cloud both deploy apps without you running servers. Deploio is built around pushing a Git repository, which is the Heroku habit most teams want to keep.

Can I host a Node.js app in Switzerland?

Yes. Infomaniak has a dedicated Node.js hosting plan and supports Node.js on Jelastic Cloud, and Deploio builds Node.js apps from Git. On Exoscale or cloudscale you run Node.js on your own server or cluster.

Does Eurobase have a Swiss region?

No. Eurobase is hosted on European infrastructure run by Scaleway, a French provider, and has no location in Switzerland. For the full list of its suppliers, see the subprocessors page.
