About Infomaniak
Infomaniak is a Swiss hosting and cloud company covering web hosting, domain names, email, cloud storage (kDrive), collaboration (kSuite, kChat), file transfer (SwissTransfer), backup and managed servers.
It sells on data residency and independence rather than on being the cheapest: everything runs in its own Swiss data centres on 100% renewable energy, with support answered from Geneva and Zurich seven days a week.

Watch out for
−Priced in Swiss francs, so the cost moves with the exchange rate
−Entry price is above budget shared hosts
−No data centres outside Switzerland, which matters for global edge performance
−A credit card is required even to start the free trial
−Domain names are billed separately from hosting
