Private AI hosting providers
What to verify for private AI hosting
- Region for compute and storage
Check that the GPU or server, its volumes and its backups all stay in the regions you need.
- Data processing agreement
Under GDPR you need a data processing agreement with the provider and its list of sub-processors.
- Tenancy
Dedicated or bare-metal servers are single-tenant; shared cloud instances rely on virtualisation for isolation.
- Who can access it
Keep model endpoints private, restrict admin access and decide where logs and prompts are stored.
What “private AI” can mean
The term covers six different things. This page compares the first two: providers you rent servers or GPUs from.
- Single-tenant servers and GPUs
- Dedicated or bare-metal machines that no other customer shares, rented from a hosting provider.
- Self-hosted models on rented infrastructure
- An open model you run yourself with a runtime such as Ollama or vLLM, on a VPS, GPU instance or server in a region you choose.
- Managed private AI on a large public cloud
- Model endpoints that a hyperscaler runs inside your private network. The large public clouds are not in our dataset.
- Private-cloud software
- Software you license to build an AI platform in your own data centre. It is a product, not a host.
- Home lab
- Models on your own hardware at home or in the office, with nothing to rent.
- Private chat assistant
- A chat app that promises not to keep or train on your conversations. It is a service, not hosting.
Where the providers are headquartered
Company headquarters as recorded in our provider data. Headquarters shows where the company is based, which is separate from the regions your data is stored in. Ownership by a parent company is not checked separately.

The EU AI Act sets obligations by the AI system and your role in providing or deploying it, not by the hosting region. We do not restate its dates; the European Commission's AI Office tracks its status. This page is not legal advice. European AI Office (European Commission) (opens in a new tab) · checked

How we compare
Prices per GPU-hour.
GPU prices are USD per single GPU per hour from the provider's own pricing page or API. Multi-GPU nodes are divided by their GPU count, and a price only rented as a node says so (“rented as 8 GPUs”). Rows lead with the cheapest pay-as-you-go price (on-demand, secure, community or serverless). A spot, reserved or marketplace price leads only when the provider has no pay-as-you-go price here, or when you filter by that billing; it is labelled with its price type and listed in its own group after pay-as-you-go prices, never ranked against them. Prices exclude VAT and sales tax.Not verified means not verified.
When no official source confirms a value we show “Not verified” instead of an estimate. Where a provider's terms do not allow its prices to be republished, we link to its live pricing instead.Freshness on every row.
Updated today: checked on the current day (UTC). Fresh: up to 7 days. Stale: up to 30 days. Needs refresh: older than that.No paid placement.
Results only change order with the sort you pick. Affiliate relationships never affect order, filters or which providers appear.
Filters match a provider when one of its listed offers meets every GPU, VRAM, region, price and billing-increment condition together. Spot, reserved and serverless billing list each provider that offers that pricing and show only prices on that basis, or “not verified” when we have none.

Frequently asked questions
Is an EU region enough for GDPR compliance?
Not on its own. Location helps, but you also need a data processing agreement, the provider's list of sub-processors and controls over access, logs and backups. Use this as a checklist, not as legal advice.
How do I host my own private AI?
Run an open model with a runtime such as Ollama or vLLM on a server or GPU you rent, in a region you choose, and keep the endpoint private. The VRAM / Model Fit tool helps size the GPU.
Is there an AI that is completely private?
Only one you run yourself, and even then the host matters. A self-hosted open model keeps prompts away from third-party model APIs, but the provider's staff access, logs and backups still apply, so check its data processing agreement and where logs and backups are stored.
What counts as an EU region here?
A data centre in an EU member state, as listed by the provider. Regions in the UK, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland appear under Europe but not under “EU only”.
Why do some values say “Not verified”?
We only show a value when an official provider source confirms it. If we could not confirm a price or feature, the row says “Not verified” instead of showing an estimate, and the provider page lists the sources we did check.
