I think it's just about latency. If most of your users/employees are located in NA, it doesn't make much sense to give them degraded network experience to save few Euros on hosting costs.


It’s not a few euros. It’s easily a factor 10-20 in costs.


Compared to AWS et al, sure. But there are plenty cloud services with datacenters in USA that are similarly cost-effective.
