How we manage hosting at tchop

At tchop, we believe that secure, reliable, and compliant cloud hosting is the foundation of every successful app or community platform. That’s why we provide hosting options that combine state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure with flexibility to meet local and enterprise requirements.

Our hosting philosophy is simple:

• Security first: All systems follow strict ISO 27001, SOC2, GDPR, and best-practice standards.

• Flexibility: Different clients have different needs – we adapt hosting accordingly.

• Data sovereignty: Clients can choose EU-based locations to ensure compliance with local regulations.

Hosting Options

1. AWS Cloud Hosting

We provide hosting on Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the most secure and scalable cloud providers in the world.

• Multiple regional options available, including Frankfurt (eu-central-1) for our German clients.

• Perfect for clients who need global scalability, enterprise-grade compliance, and high availability.

• Includes access to advanced AWS security services (WAF, encryption, monitoring), which we have implemented out of the box.

2. Hetzner Cloud Hosting (Germany & EU)

For clients who prefer a European cloud provider, we offer hosting on Hetzner Cloud.

• Data centers located in Germany and the EU.

• Cost-efficient and transparent pricing while maintaining strong security standards.

• Especially attractive for clients with strict EU data-sovereignty requirements.

3. On Premise

For larger enterprise clients with strict infrastructure policies, we also support on-premise hosting.

• The client provides and manages their own servers and infrastructure.

• We ensure deployment and integration if sufficient resources and access are available.

• This option offers maximum data control but comes with higher complexity and costs compared to cloud setups.

Because of these factors, on-premise hosting is usually only recommended for large enterprises with specific compliance or regulatory requirements.

Our Hosting Philosophy

• Your data stays yours: We never use customer data for any other purpose than providing our service. Legally all data is owned by you.

• Compliance by design: Both AWS and Hetzner setups are fully GDPR-compliant and covered under our ISO 27001 certification.

• Tailored solutions: Depending on your compliance, security, and performance needs, we recommend the setup that best fits your business.

Recommended Setup

For most clients we recommend AWS in Frankfurt as a secure and highly scalable standard.
For clients with specific EU or cost-sensitivity requirements, Hetzner Cloud offers an excellent alternative.

Our team will help you choose the hosting option that best matches your compliance and performance needs.
