**Pushin.eu — Git hosting that never leaves Europe**
An invite-only beta of a new Git hosting service launched this year promises repositories remain physically located within Europe, positioning itself as a privacy-first alternative to US-based platforms like GitHub and GitLab.
The FindHost listing card visually identifies Pushin.eu, the Dutch-founded Git hosting platform whose privacy architecture — bare-metal servers in a Paris data center with no US jurisdiction exposure — is the article's central subject.
Founded by Dutch developer Peter Ullrich, who began building the platform in April 2026, Pushin.eu operates from Leiden, Netherlands. According to the service's FAQ, all Git repositories are hosted on bare-metal servers that the company operates in Scaleway's Paris data center. The company emphasizes that nothing fails over to a US region, which means no CLOUD Act subpoenas or US jurisdiction can reach customer code.
**Privacy and moderation by design**
Pushin.eu's privacy policy lists Scaleway (France), Sentry, and Private Captcha as EU-only subprocessors. The service does not use customer code to train machine learning models—an explicit differentiator stated in its FAQ. Registration is invite-only, which the company says helps filter low-effort accounts and will enable a future vouching system to label low-quality contributions.
**Availability over AI features**
The platform positions itself as an uptime-focused service built for humans, not bots. It offers SSH and HTTPS authentication with personal access tokens, a GitHub-compatible REST API, and a command-line tool called `pun` that can import a GitHub repository along with issues, pull requests, labels, and comments. A one-way mirror feature lets users keep GitHub as the source of truth while syncing to Pushin.eu.
**Technical constraints and future plans**
FindHost's review notes that IPv6 is not currently supported by the public website or Git endpoint, and the service relies on a registrar (HOSTINGER, Lithuania) and Cloudflare's US-based network for DNS. The company plans to add DNSSEC and expects general availability in early 2027, at which point individual and team subscriptions will be priced comparably to GitHub and GitLab.
Export works via `git clone` for repositories and REST API calls for issues and pull requests, though there is no self-service account deletion.
**Who is affected**
Teams or developers subject to GDPR restrictions, or those concerned about US government access to their code, may find a European jurisdiction an advantage. The service is currently limited by its small team size (one founder) and invite-only access, which may limit its appeal to organizations requiring enterprise support or global DNS infrastructure.
