LLM Hosting Netherlands
Deploy Large Language Models on Dutch infrastructure with the lowest latency and full GDPR compliance.
HostYourAI is a Dutch company based in Groningen that hosts open large language models, including Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek and Gemma, on European GPUs. You can use the shared EU Inference Router and pay per token, or run a model on dedicated GPU instances billed per hour. Both are served with vLLM behind an OpenAI-compatible API.
For teams in the Netherlands and the wider EU, where an LLM physically runs is not a detail. It decides which laws apply to your prompts and what you can promise your customers. LLM hosting from a Dutch provider keeps all of that inside one legal space.
Why LLM hosting in the Netherlands in the EU
GDPR without transfer paperwork
When inference happens in European datacenters, prompts and completions never leave the EU. You do not need standard contractual clauses, transfer impact assessments or adequacy reasoning for the inference step. A Data Processing Agreement is available, the subprocessor list is public, and customer data is never used for training.
Jurisdiction you can actually explain
A Dutch provider on European infrastructure answers to EU and Dutch law. There is no US parent company in the chain that could be compelled to hand over data under the CLOUD Act. That single sentence settles a question that otherwise takes weeks of legal review with a US-based API.
Latency close to your users
If your users are in Europe, tokens generated in Europe travel a short path. Streaming responses feel more direct, and you avoid routing every request across the Atlantic just to run an openly available model.
EU Inference Router
‹ Insight 1 of 28 ›What a Dutch home base means in practice
The company behind HostYourAI is based in Groningen, so support conversations happen in your timezone, in Dutch or English, with the people who run the platform. Contracts and the DPA are written for an EU context rather than adapted from US templates, and disputes fall under a legal system your own counsel already knows.
Billing is equally local: one prepaid credit balance, topped up with iDEAL, card or SEPA, covers both the Router and dedicated instances. There is no dollar invoice from a foreign entity to push through procurement. Details are on the pricing page.

from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( base_url="https://hostyourai.com/api/v1", api_key="hyai-...") client.chat.completions.create( model="llama-3.3-70b", messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Hallo!"}])
How to start
Create an API key, pick a model from the model catalog, and point your existing OpenAI client at the Dutch endpoint. Nothing else in your code changes.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://hostyourai.com/api/v1",

Where exactly does my data get processed?
All inference runs in European datacenters, in multiple European regions. Prompts and completions do not leave the EU, and nothing is used for model training.
Is HostYourAI itself a Dutch company?
Yes. HostYourAI is based in Groningen, the Netherlands. The platform, the contracts and the support all come from that Dutch home base.
Which models can I host?
Over 100 open models, including the Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek and Gemma families. The Model Garden shows for each model whether it is warm, warming up, serveable or available on request.
Do I need to rewrite my application?
No. The API is OpenAI-compatible, so you change the base URL and the API key and keep your SDK code. There is also an Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages shim.
Can I get a signed data processing agreement?
Yes, a DPA is available, and the subprocessor list is public so you can see exactly which parties are involved in delivering the service.
Shared Router or a dedicated instance?
Start on the Router for pay-per-token access with no infrastructure to manage. Move to a dedicated instance for hardware isolation, your own encrypted API key and per-hour billing.
Everything you need for AI
From model hosting to a customer-facing API, it is built for developers and businesses who want their AI running on infrastructure they actually control, inside the EU.
Your data and your models stay on European GPUs. GDPR-friendly by design.
Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, FLUX and plenty more. Pick one and it is warm in minutes, with no DevOps on your end.
Point your existing client at the Router and keep your tools. No rewrite, no lock-in.
From zero to a warm endpoint in minutes
No infra to manage. Pick a model, get an OpenAI-compatible URL, ship.
Pick a model
Choose from the Model Garden or paste any HuggingFace ID. Set the VRAM and pick an EU GPU.
Get your endpoint
We deploy vLLM, run readiness probes, and hand you a warm OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible URL plus an API key.
Route and ship
Point your client at the Router. It auto-routes to a warm instance, idles GPUs when nobody is online, and logs every request.
Works with the tools you already use
The Router speaks the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, so it drops straight into the clients and SDKs your team already runs. Just change the base URL.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?
Yes. Point your existing OpenAI or Anthropic client at our Router (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1), change only the base URL and API key. No rewrite, no lock-in.
What does it cost?
Pay-as-you-go on one prepaid credit balance: the shared router per token or a dedicated GPU per hour. Free to start, no minimum, no fixed monthly fee.
Works with 390+ open models
Text and image models on dedicated EU GPUs. Every model tested on our own hardware.
