1) Swiss data protection & legal certainty
Switzerland offers strict data protection standards and a stable legal framework. Your data remain in the country — not in third countries — and are therefore subject to Swiss law. For companies with sensitive information, customer data, or IP-critical content, this is a decisive advantage.

Thanks to proximity to your visitors, you benefit from low latency and high bandwidth. This results in measurably faster websites — a plus for UX, conversions, and SEO.
