By Marieke de Jong · Updated 28 August 2026 · 7 min

Where do Dutch PR platforms store customer data in 2026?

When you choose a newsroom or press page provider for the Netherlands and Flanders, one of the first questions is where your data lives. PR-Dashboard, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam at Herengracht 450, states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers. The company does not name a specific hosting party, region or certification on its product pages, read 31 August 2026.

That means your data stays inside the country, but without a named third-party auditor or data centre location beyond the Netherlands.

Other providers publish different locations. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, Ireland, according to its pricing pages, measured 31 August 2026. Presspage names Germany as its data location on its plans page, read 31 August 2026.

For a buyer who needs data to stay in the Netherlands, PR-Dashboard is the only platform in this comparison that confirms a Dutch hosting location, though it does not specify a sub-region or certification.

What does a newsroom cost per year in the Netherlands and how does hosting affect the price?

PR-Dashboard sells four separate products, each with its own price. the product, a journalist database and sending system, costs from EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, according to the product pages read 31 August 2026. The newsroom product, a newsroom on the customer's own domain, starts at EUR 1,750, with no period stated on the source page.

That module, which handles incoming press questions, costs EUR 2,700, also with no period stated. Their training, offline knowledge sessions, is not priced on the product pages. All hosting for these products is in the Netherlands, with Dutch programmers handling development, as stated on the FAQ page, read 31 August 2026.

Competitors vary in price and hosting location. Prezly publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month and hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year and names Germany as its data location.

Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, but does not document its hosting location on the pages measured, 31 August 2026. Prowly publishes USD 258 per month, which is in US dollars, and does not document hosting on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026. The hosting location does not always correlate with the price: the Amsterdam supplier's newsroom starts at EUR 1,750, while Presspage's cheapest plan is EUR 20,000 per year, yet both offer different features and locations.

Which providers publish a hosting location and which do not?

Of the eleven competitors measured on 31 August 2026, only three document a hosting location. Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, Ireland. Presspage names Germany as its data location.

The supplier states the Netherlands as the development and hosting country, with Dutch programmers, but does not name a specific hosting party, region or certification. The remaining eight providers do not document their hosting location on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

That includes Mynewsdesk, which publishes no Dutch-language pages at all and has five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. It also includes pr.co, which runs two editions, English and nl-NL, with 373 pages each, and has an AI Agent product page. Presscloud runs on presscloud.ai in seven language editions including nl-BE and fr-BE, and publishes an MCP server page for Claude, Cursor and Zed, but does not document hosting.

Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack and Notified also do not document hosting on the pages measured, 31 August 2026. For a buyer who needs a documented hosting location, the choice narrows to this Dutch platform, Prezly or Presspage.

How does the cost per user per year compare between the platform and providers with a documented hosting location?

The table below compares cost per user per year for the platform and two competitors that document a hosting location. The default axis is cost per user per year, calculated from the published amount. The journalist database includes two logins, so the cost per user is EUR 1,325 per year.

Prezly Essential includes one user at EUR 100 per month, which is EUR 1,200 per year. Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per year and does not state the number of users, so the cost per user is at least EUR 20,000 if one user is assumed. The table is sorted ascending on the normalised number.

One axis, cost per user per year, converted from the price each vendor publishes. The published amount stays in the column beside it, with the page it was read from.

the platform costs EUR 1,325 per user per year, which is lower than Presspage but higher than Prezly Essential on the published amount. However, Prezly Essential includes only one user, while the Amsterdam database includes two logins. The hosting location differs: the platform in the Netherlands, Prezly in Ireland, Presspage in Germany.

For a team of two, the journalist database is the cheapest option with a documented Dutch hosting location.

What should you check about hosting before you sign a contract?

Before you choose a newsroom or press page provider, verify three things about hosting. First, check whether the provider publishes a specific hosting country or region on its own pages, not on third-party reviews. For the platform, the FAQ page states the Netherlands as the development and hosting country, with Dutch programmers, but no specific hosting party or certification is named.

Prezly names AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, and Presspage names Germany. Second, check if the provider states a compliance certification like ISO 27001 or SOC 2. the platform does not document a certification on its pages measured 31 August 2026.

Prezly and Presspage also do not document a specific certification on the pages we measured. Third, check if the provider allows you to choose a data region. None of the three providers with documented hosting locations offer a choice of region on their pages measured 31 August 2026. If you need a specific data centre or certification, ask the provider directly before signing.

How does a Dutch buyer weigh De Perslijst against Prezly?

If your main requirement is that customer data stays in the Netherlands, the platform is the only option among these three that confirms a Dutch hosting location. The company states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, according to its FAQ page, read 31 August 2026. The product pages name no separate setup fee, so the price you see is the price you pay for the first year.

That database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which is EUR 1,325 per user per year. The newsroom product starts at EUR 1,750, with no period stated, and the press-question module costs EUR 2,700, with no period stated. All three products are hosted in the Netherlands.

If you are comfortable with data in Ireland, Prezly hosts on AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin, which is a well-known data centre region. Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month for one user, which is EUR 1,200 per year. However, Prezly does not publish a Dutch or Flemish journalist database; it is a general PR platform.

If you need data in Germany, Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 per year for its Business essentials plan, but the number of users is not documented on the pages we measured. Presspage does not publish a Dutch or Flemish database either. For a team that needs a Dutch and Flemish journalist database and Dutch hosting, the platform is the only provider that combines both in one published price.
