Secure IT — Independent of Location.
Anyone moving their company abroad, relocating their registered office, or setting up a business in a new location should also carefully consider where data and business applications will run going forward.
That's because a company's registered office and its IT location don't have to be in the same place. Running IT in a different jurisdiction allows the company's location and its technical infrastructure to be deliberately decoupled from one another. This creates an additional layer of geographic and legal diversification and can reduce dependence on the conditions of any single country.
Not every IT location is equally well suited, however. Depending on the country, technical, regulatory, tax, or infrastructure-related factors can come into play. A few examples:
- Dubai: Government internet restrictions, including certain content as well as WhatsApp and VoIP calling.
- Cyprus: Risk of local power outages and fluctuating supply reliability, particularly outside urban centers.
- Germany: Depending on the setup, operating your own server can constitute a taxable permanent establishment.
- Austria: Here too, operating your own server can, under certain conditions, constitute a taxable permanent establishment.
- USA: Greater geographic distance from Europe can result in higher latency and slower response times.
An XCP-ng-based hypervisor can divide a physical server into isolated virtual systems. A firewall controls inbound and outbound traffic. Internal services are only available to authorized users.

- Telephony server license costs free
- Windows Server 2025 Per Microsoft licensing

This solution is designed for business owners who are relocating their company abroad or building an international company structure, and who don't want to tie their IT to the new location.
It is especially useful if you want to:
- keep your existing IT structure in place during a company relocation,
- choose a suitable IT location independent of your company's registered seat,
- operate business-critical systems centrally and reliably,
- securely access your familiar working environment even from abroad.
The focus is exclusively on building, relocating, and operating the technical IT infrastructure. Tax, legal, or corporate-law advice, as well as consulting on setting up a company abroad, are not part of the service.
For a new company, requirements, applications, access paths, and desired server locations are planned from scratch. For an existing company, the current environment is also assessed: servers, network, internet connections, telephony, backups, and dependencies between systems.
Based on this, a technical concept for the build or migration is developed. For existing systems, downtime and fallback options are taken into account; for a new company, the focus is on a clear, controllable infrastructure without unnecessary dependencies.
After forming a new company or relocating, your core IT can run on hardware you own or control in a professional data center. The server location can be chosen deliberately, independent of your registered office. This keeps the infrastructure flexible and under your control even if you relocate again later.
You decide which systems are run, where your data is located, and who can access it. Existing hardware can continue to be used where technically and economically sensible.
The solutions used are based largely on established open-source software and can be transparently documented, extended, and, if needed, relocated to a different site or provider. This keeps your infrastructure controllable even after forming a new company or relocating, and avoids unnecessary dependence on individual cloud providers.
Your Company's Location Changes. Control Over Your IT Doesn't.
Your registered office and server location don't have to be the same. Servers, applications, and data can run on controlled infrastructure in a deliberately chosen data center, while you securely access them from your new location.
