A brand new Google Cloud Platform region has arrived, this time it’s Eemshaven, Netherlands that gets the honor of joining the GCP lineup. We always roll out new locations alongside Google Cloud Platform and we are really happy to say that the data center in Netherlands has arrived and is now available in the Templ.io Panel.
The Netherlands region is located in Google’s existing datacenter in Eemshaven. Prior to opening their datacenter two years ago, they had procured enough renewable energy on the Dutch grid to ensure consumption would be matched with 100% renewable energy from day one. This means that when you use this region to host your WordPress website, you are doing so sustainably.
Except for the Netherlands, we also have these locations to choose from right now:
- Oregon, USA
- South Carolina, USA
- North Virginia, USA
- Iowa, USA
- London, UK
- Frankfurt, Germany
- St. Ghislain, Belgium
- São Paulo, Brazil
- Tokyo, Japan
- Mumbai, India
- Changhua County, Taiwan
- Singapore
- Sydney, Australia
- Montréal, Canada
