Outline has the ability to create servers on three different providers automatically: DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services. In some situations, Google Cloud or AWS may be preferable, because they are less likely to be blocked by hostile ISPs/governments and will therefore allow you to more likely circumvent internet censorship. However, keep in mind that the server provider you choose—like any VPN provider—will have the technical ability to read your internet traffic. This is much less likely to happen when using a cloud provider versus a commercial VPN, which is why we recommend self-hosting, but it is still possible. Choose a provider you trust.

Additionally, keep in mind that many US-based cloud providers block all network traffic to and from [countries sanctioned by the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions#Countries), including AWS and Google Cloud. Users in or visiting those countries may wish to find a European-based [hosting provider]({% link legacy_pages/providers/hosting.html %}) to run their Outline Server on.

Another factor to consider is your provider’s network and latency. Choosing a server closer to you (geographically speaking) will give you better latency, and choosing a server with good bandwidth (>1 Gbps) will minimize the performance hit when using the VPN. Both factors are important to keeping a good browsing experience, but keep in mind using _any_ VPN will always be slower than just your plain old internet connection.
