I have several clients in Europe (germany and switzerland) and I love Webflow, but they are all very concerned with data privacy and complying to GDPR. Especially now with the current privacy shield solutions. Please, please work on an European hosting so you don't loose valuable customers. I see this issue popping up on so many webflow groups (facebook). More and more freelancers as well as agencies are moving back to WordPress bc of that significant issue.

We are an 150 employees + agency in Austria / Europe. We would like to use Webflow.
GDPR and keeping data in Europe is a serious issue. Can't wait to see a solution for that.
I really love Webflow, but come on already..
The lack of EU-only hosting is becoming a real blocker for many of us working with institutional and public clients in Europe. Under GDPR and especially after Schrems II, institutions are extremely cautious about personal data leaving the EU. Even something as simple as storing form submissions, IP addresses, or images of people outside the EU can be considered non-compliant.
While we can patch things with extra cookie consent managers, external form processors, and other paid integrations, this adds unnecessary cost and complexity and still doesn’t solve the core issue: data residency.
For private companies, SCCs and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework might be enough, but for schools, municipalities, and other public sector clients it’s often a hard “no” unless hosting is guaranteed to remain within the EU.
Adding an EU-only hosting option would solve a huge problem and open Webflow up to a larger growing European market.
You're absolutely right—GDPR compliance and data privacy are now top priorities for European clients. Offering local hosting options would make Webflow far more appealing. Many freelancers and agencies are struggling with the same issue, which is why conversations about switching to alternative platforms and solutions are increasing.

You make a really good point. GDPR compliance and data privacy are becoming top priorities for clients in Europe, and having local hosting options would definitely make Webflow more attractive. Many freelancers and agencies are facing the same challenge, which is why discussions around alternative platforms and solutions are growing.

Webflow team !!!!! what are you waiting for ?
Thats why you should use Divhunt and have ability to choose Germany hosting :)
Wow, five years since this thread was started—crazy! It would be great to have this feature (for all plans 😉).
Make it happen.
its sad when awesome projects fail cause of the Sole reason of Not being hosted EU only. Even aws offers eu only cdn now! We Need this!
Really needed
Still waiting...
For very small companies, it's ok to not be hosted in Europe, for bigger ones, it is mandatory. I wish I could provide Webflow to mi biggest client to really empower their marketing team.
Please do consider this feature !
We often still use Wordpress for the reaseon that there is no EU Hosting option for european customers.
Please add this alongside translations of the Webflow Software to european and international languages like Frensh oder German.
It's important!
we clearly neeeeeeed
