Switzerland is ideally located right in the heart of Europe and is bordered by three of its largest market economies. Our country is well-known for its long lasting stability, neutrality, political independence and highly educated workforce. All these advantages put together make Switzerland the perfect location for organizations that focus their activities on EU area.

You need a host, a solid and classical system (Unix for me). So many providers , because of course it is a big market. But to find simplicity, professionalism, price ... And know the location hosting ... Yes, really not so easy. So I am very pleased to have found a very kind team like Swissmade.
It's very interesting middle-grade priced hosting with a lot of interesting features, but if you want create something complicated than static HTML site - you'll be faced down to unmanageable DDoS protection, which close all ports, all traffic and you will not to do anything with that.
In ToS they write about no refund, but below they write about refunds will be placed if DDoS affects their core infrastructure. Very strange service, very strange support, very strange ToS. Totally unsatisfied. "No refunds" seems like scam, but no problem - ToS is a public document, I accept it.
The hardware they're renting is very unstable country to the homepage. My kernel has become corrupt and they have reported to me this is my duty to rebuild. Costing me hours of work.
Got myself a somewhat sophisticated custom setup with a few servers that share a private network and sit behind an edge router. Many thanks to Ann from support, I never stood a chance to set it up on my own!
Horrific experience with swiss made host. I had just renewed before they wiped my server which was amazing timing as I am now unable to leave for 11 months.
Warned me there was a small chance of data loss and to take a backup then proceeded to reinstall my server after giving me 1 day notice this was going to occur.
Lost an awful lot of court documents due to this disgrace of a company
I went to get a VPS for hosting some simple, low-traffic web services related to a hobby of mine (ham radio). During the setup process, the security team rejected my request for the VPS. I asked for some clarification, but was not given any answer as to why my intended use was a problem. They say a lot about support for privacy and freedom, but evidently are intrusive and critical of the uses to which clients wish to put their equipment. I will not attempt to use swissmade.host in the future.
There were also odd technical glitches in the setup process, e.g. telephone verification didn't work and required a support ticket, etc. I would happily have endured those things to get good FreeBSD hosting, however.
a surprisingly wide selection of dedicated server plans
I've two storage servers and a back-end box with swissmade.host. All of my servers are on a private network and firewall-protected. Up/down speed and latency to UK is exactly what I expected from a 1gpbs IXP-connected link. Overall score is 4 out of 5, client account UI requires improvements.
reasonably priced bare metal servers in switzerland with decent quality of service
A top notch hosting provider with servers located in Zurich. Fast network, helpful and easy to reach support. No downtime for any of my servers so far (±11 months).
Got my server within a few hours with a bunch of security focused tweaks already in place. Networking is all right, way better than most of my previous providers could offer. Swissmade.host needs to add more linux dedicated server operating system templates though, the current list is not too long.
