How to read this table: "Eyes alliance" marks membership in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing agreements - non-members require formal legal process for foreign data requests. "DMCA force" shows whether the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act binds hosting providers there (it binds none of these jurisdictions; EU members apply EU copyright law instead). Latency figures are typical round-trip times. Prices are starting dedicated server tiers, EUR/month; locations marked "On request" are quoted via support ticket.
