Why Europe Should Take Back Control of the Cloud – Starting with Strife CMS

As geopolitical tensions grow, Europe faces the urgent need to reduce its dependence on U.S.-based cloud giants like AWS and Azure. A strategic starting point is migrating content management systems to European alternatives. Strife CMS, hosted on Hetzner, offers a secure, cost-effective, and sovereignty-focused solution. With strong data protection, GDPR compliance, and competitive pricing, Strife CMS enables organizations to take a practical first step toward digital independence and resilience within the EU ecosystem.

The Story Behind the Name

We often get asked about why we chose the name Strife for our product. According to the dictionary, Strife means "angry or bitter disagreement over fundamental issues." This might raise concerns about whether the name carries a too negative impression of a product. However, we see it differently.
