S3-compatible object storage in Swedish datacentres at a flat per-terabyte price, with unlimited traffic, no API charges, versioning and Veeam support.
Swedish S3-compatible object storage from Stockholm ISP Bahnhof, flat priced per terabyte with no egress or API fees.
Bahnhof S3 is S3-compatible object storage run entirely from Swedish datacentres by one of Sweden's best-known internet providers. Pricing is refreshingly flat: a single per-terabyte rate with unlimited traffic and no API costs, so egress and request bills never creep up on you.
The service speaks the industry-standard S3 API, which means existing backup software, SDKs and command-line tools work without code changes. Data is organised into buckets with unlimited storage and objects up to 5 TB each, and versioning plus built-in redundancy protect against accidental deletion. Enterprise backup suites such as Veeam, Commvault and Cohesity are supported as targets.
Key benefits:
- Flat per-terabyte pricing at 20 EUR per TB, with a 10 TB minimum
- Unlimited traffic with no egress fees when you read data back
- No API charges on storage requests
- Standard S3 API compatible with existing tools and SDKs
- Versioning and redundancy guarding against data loss
- Granular access control and secure sharing of stored data
- Backup integrations with Veeam, Commvault and Cohesity
Bahnhof AB is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and has run internet and datacentre services since 1994 while campaigning against mass surveillance for decades. The S3 service is ISO 27001 certified and keeps data in Swedish datacentres under Swedish and EU jurisdiction and the GDPR, outside the reach of US cloud providers.
Ideal for companies moving backups and archives off Amazon S3 or other hyperscalers that want predictable storage bills and data kept in Sweden.
