Overview
HostNever, founded in 2014 and registered in the United States, is a cloud server and hosting provider serving the European market, operating a data center in Warsaw, Poland for Poland and neighboring regions.

HostNever positions itself as a localized provider: it serves European users from the Warsaw data center and offers local-language support.
