It's common for founders building new infrastructure services to seek this kind of early feedback. We've seen this exact scenario before where understanding user expectations around network performance, pricing, and support can significantly shape a product's success. There's usually a path through this by focusing on specific pain points current providers don't solve well.
Turkey ranks as “not free”, both in term of civil liberties and internet freedom.[0]
As a result, the most important question for me is: (how) will you protect your customers when they exercise their basic human rights or will you be a pro-active collaborator with the authoritarian regime?
Please don’t take this question personally - I admire everyone who has the guts to build a business and I wish you all the success! But a hosting provider is very much different from opening up a restaurant - it comes with a lot of power and ethical responsibilities.
Thank you for raising this — it’s a fair and important question, and I appreciate the respectful tone.
From my perspective, trust and transparency are fundamental for any hosting provider, regardless of location. Our goal is to operate with clear policies that prioritize customer privacy, data security, and legal clarity.
Like any provider, we are required to operate within applicable laws and regulations, but we aim to minimize risk for users through technical and operational practices such as limiting data retention, avoiding unnecessary data collection, and being transparent about how requests are handled.
We believe infrastructure providers carry responsibility, and our intention is to build a service that respects users while maintaining operational integrity. This is one of the reasons I’m asking for community feedback — to understand expectations and concerns early on.
