Which VPS providers do you trust from a privacy & security perspective, and why?
GDPR because of their strong privacy laws?
I would suggest Canada is best out of the 5 eyes countries, as our spies aren't allowed the corporate / government collusion like the USA (US ClLOUD Act, US PATRIOT Act, MLATs) or the even scarier Australian AA bill. In Canada, lunanode and cacloud are the only two providers I know of that are Canadian owned and hosted on Canadian soil, are there any others?
