Looks interesting for Europeans that don't want their servers accessed / seized by the FBI, but they should clarify if they own the servers or rent them to an US cloud company (Amazon / MS etc).

On their data-center page they just show a map with their 2 data-centers (both are in France, they might use OVH).

Yep, you're right, we'll clarify that: we're renting bare metal servers from a french company which is not OVH http://www.agora-hosting.net/

I assume you mean rent them from a US company?

You're perfectly right I should have written "from". I can't edit the sentence anymore though.

No, they are French, based in France.

"they should clarify if they own the servers or rent them to an US cloud company (Amazon / MS etc)."

I think that was a grammatical question. As in, they don't rent to AWS or MS, but from them. (not that they actually do either)

I understand that they are based in Europe. This was a grammatical question since the parent used the phrase "rent them to an US cloud company."
