Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my data when switching from AWS?

No, most services allow you to export your data before closing your account. Follow the steps in our migration guide to safely transfer all your data to gridscale.

Is gridscale really more private than AWS?

Yes, EU-based services like gridscale must comply with GDPR, which provides stronger privacy protections. Your data won't be subject to US surveillance laws like the CLOUD Act.
