Simple Private Cloud infrastructure vs. hyperscalers
Skip the enterprise bloat. Webdock delivers simple private cloud infrastructure on dedicated Danish hardware, with transparent pricing and a direct line to senior engineers
The Competitive Gap
The hyperscaler tax: paying for complexity you don't need
The cloud was supposed to make infrastructure easier to manage. Yet for many organizations, navigating large-scale cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure can become increasingly complex as services, configurations, and costs grow over time. Managing performance, budgeting for resource consumption, and maintaining operational clarity often requires significant expertise and ongoing oversight.
Webdock Private Cloud is designed for companies that value simplicity, predictable pricing, and dedicated infrastructure. We provide high performance private cloud environments, transparent costs, and direct access to experienced engineers who understand your setup. The result is a cloud platform that helps teams stay focused on running their applications rather than managing infrastructure complexity.

Explore the architecture, hardware and pricing behind our simple private cloud infrastructure.
Flat-rate vs. hyper-variable utility billing
The most significant architectural difference isn't in the silicon, it's in the billing engine. AWS and Azure operate on a hyper-variable utility model where every read, write, API call, and gigabyte of outbound transfer is metered. Webdock Private Cloud is a transparent cloud hosting alternative built on a flat-rate infrastructure model, backed by our private cloud infrastructure and documented end-to-end, from facility detail in our DK-DC1 datacenter overview to operational and sustainability commitments in our ESG documentation.
Fixed Infrastructure Commit
Provision dedicated hardware and Webdock tech stack at a fixed monthly cost. This creates a predictable budget anchor for your core infrastructure, while instances deployed on your private cluster are billed at simple, discounted rates eliminating the monthly shock of hyperscaler invoices.
No metered API or IOPS billing
Hyperscalers meter every read, write and API call, making accurate financial forecasting nearly impossible. Webdock provides dedicated infrastructure with transparent monthly pricing, making costs easier to predict and manage.
Low egress, no surprises
Your plan includes outbound bandwidth as part of the monthly price, with straightforward upgrade options available as your requirements grow. That means predictable costs and no unexpected data transfer surprises.
Deep Dive, Legal Frameworks
Data sovereignty: the US CLOUD Act loophole
Many hyperscalers attempt to sell 'EU Data Residency' by spinning up data centers in Frankfurt or Dublin. However, if the corporate entity controlling those servers is US owned (like Amazon or Microsoft), your data may remain legally subject to the US CLOUD Act, meaning foreign intelligence agencies can compel access to your enterprise data, bypassing European courts. True data sovereignty requires absolute separation from US corporate structures. Webdock is Danish owned, and DK-DC1 operates under Danish and EU jurisdiction.

Deep Dive, Support Architecture
Comparison of included vs. metered support pricing
When a critical database cluster goes down, you do not have time to navigate a Tier-1 automated chatbot. Hyperscalers monetize support, forcing enterprises to pay thousands of dollars in monthly retainers simply to guarantee a response from a qualified engineer. At Webdock, architectural support is included, direct access to the senior engineers who built the platform.

A temporary traffic spike is typically covered by the bandwidth included with your plan and will not result in your connection being throttled. We only count outgoing bandwidth towards your network usage and maintain full port speed during periods of high demand. If unusually high usage occurs, we will notify you so you can verify that the traffic is legitimate and not the result of a compromised system. For customers whose bandwidth requirements consistently exceed the included allowance over longer periods, straightforward overage pricing and upgrade options are available. See our additional products and overage pricing for details. If sustained growth requires additional infrastructure capacity, our engineers can help you scale your environment accordingly.
AWS Dedicated Hosts are notoriously expensive and complex to manage, often requiring you to navigate complex licensing (BYOL) and capacity reservations. Webdock Private Cloud is single-tenant by design. You receive raw, unthrottled access to dedicated NVMe nodes and high-frequency cores without the massive price premium or management overhead associated with hyperscaler dedicated options.
In many cases, yes. Depending on your environment and service level, Webdock can provide hands-on migration assistance to help minimize disruption during the transition. For customers with migration support included as part of their plan or purchased separately, our engineers can assist with planning, testing, and cutover procedures. We work closely with your team to identify the most appropriate migration approach and reduce downtime wherever possible.
It is a matter of corporate structure, not just server location. Because Webdock is a registered Danish corporate entity with no US parent company or subsidiaries, we are structurally immune to the US CLOUD Act and FISA section 702. We provide pre-approved Danish DPA templates governed entirely by Danish courts, which enterprise legal teams can verify and sign off on immediately.
