Best for Dutch cloud servers and containers hosted in Europe
Tilaa rents cloud servers and a container platform from Dutch data centres. Server discounts last 6 months, server prices exclude VAT while container prices include it, and there is no free plan beyond a one-time 50 euro credit.
Who Tilaa is for
- Fits if you want a cloud server or containers hosted in the Netherlands
- Makes sense if you want managed databases next to a small server
Who Tilaa is not for
- Skip it if you need a free plan, since only a one-time 50 euro credit is offered
- Watch out: server discounts apply to the first 6 months and the full price follows
- Watch out: server prices exclude VAT while container and database prices include it
- Tight if you need a defined traffic limit, as unlimited is under a fair use policy
Why Tilaa gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe Beginner server is 12.74 euros a month ex. VAT after 8.28 for the first 6 months, around the $10.99 middle for web hosting. Nexaa containers start at 4.99 euros incl. VAT.
- DFree plan and trialA one-time 50 euro credit on a new Nexaa account, which is not a plan. The listing doesn't say whether a card is needed, and servers can be cancelled within 14 days.
- CFeaturesCloud servers with custom sizing, containers, managed databases and queues, snapshots and backups. Traffic is unlimited under a fair use policy the page doesn't define.
- DEase of useNo store rating on record. Servers are managed by you, though Nexaa containers hide some of the work.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, and the listing shows no integrations.

Your call
You could make the core of Tilaa for yourself: job scheduling.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $170.80 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling: an app builder makes this well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
What this rests on. Tilaa’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
