Server withdrawal announcement: Thuban (FR)

[Staff 9751]

Hello!

 

We regret to inform you that the server Thuban (FR) has been withdrawn due to inability of the datacenter to meet our technical requirements.

 

Currently, we have decided to momentarily drop France. The current legal framework on data retention can be interpreted as an obligation to extend logging of various traffic information by the datacenters, since it covers "hosting providers". Although this obligation, according to our inquiries, has remained quite theoretical so far at datacenter levels, we deem appropriate to not expose our customers to such risks.

 

We will add in the next days servers in Belgium, where data retention laws have been canceled since last year and the legal framework on data protection and privacy does not infringe human rights.

 

Kind regards
