# PrivateAlps
> Swiss-jurisdiction, privacy-first hosting provider operating since 2019. Fully in-house infrastructure — hardware, network, and IP space owned and operated by PrivateAlps — with no KYC, a strict no-logs policy, and no third-party dependencies. 18+ products from cloud VPS to bare-metal, served from a Tier IV datacenter with a 1 Tbps backbone. Built for developers, businesses, and privacy-conscious users running sensitive or mission-critical workloads.

Often categorized as an offshore host, it pairs strong privacy guarantees (no KYC, no logs, full disk encryption, zero-trust architecture) with serious infrastructure (Tier IV, 1 Tbps network, 3.2 Tbps DDoS mitigation, owned hardware).
