Bahamian cloud · Nassau
Cloud servers in The Bahamas, run from Nassau
Plenty of providers will sell you a server "in the Caribbean". Fewer can tell you which building it is in, which law it answers to, and who picks up the phone. Here is how to tell a Bahamian cloud from a marketing one, and exactly what ours is.
What "Bahamian cloud" should mean
A cloud server in The Bahamas should pass four tests: the hardware is physically here, the provider is a Bahamian company, Bahamian law governs your data, and you can visit the building. Secure Shore Cloud passes all four. Our servers run in our own facility in Nassau, operated by Secure Shore Limited, a Bahamian company with no US parent, subsidiary, branch or affiliations.
Each test closes a gap the others leave open. A server in Nassau owned by a foreign parent can still be reached through that parent's home courts. A local reseller of an overseas platform keeps your data wherever that platform decides. And a provider that will not let you see the building is asking you to take its word for the most important fact in the contract.
- Where is the hardware? Ask for the street, not the region.
- Who owns the provider? Follow the ownership up to the top company and note its country.
- Which law applies? For a Bahamian company with servers in Nassau, the answer should be Bahamian law.
- Can you visit? We offer site tours by appointment. Any provider holding sensitive data should.
What runs in our Nassau facility
Our data center sits within the Bahamas Logistic Centre, which has served as a disaster recovery facility since 2008 and also provides certified document storage and backup office space under the same roof. On that infrastructure we run three services:
- Cloud servers (VPS). Linux virtual servers from four fixed plans or a custom build, provisioned automatically within minutes of payment.
- Encrypted cloud storage. File storage and backup for individuals and teams, with versioning, share links and a full activity audit trail.
- Dedicated and colocated hardware. Bare-metal servers from US$350 a month, or rack space for your own equipment.
Stored files are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and travel over TLS. Support is by phone and email, from Nassau, on Eastern time.
Prices
Prices are flat, monthly and in US dollars, which the Bahamian dollar is pegged to at par. Cloud servers carry a one-off setup fee of US$20 to US$30; storage has none.
| Cloud server | CPU | Memory | Storage | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1 core | 1 GB | 30 GB | US$40 |
| Advanced | 2 cores | 4 GB | 60 GB | US$90 |
| Plus | 4 cores | 8 GB | 100 GB | US$160 |
| Premium | 8 cores | 16 GB | 250 GB | US$300 |
Encrypted storage starts free at 2 GB with no card, then US$12 a month for 100 GB (Personal) or US$45 a month for 1 TB with unlimited team members (Business). Larger needs are quoted individually. Getting your data back out never generates a bill.
Close to Florida, without being in it
Nassau is about 180 miles from Miami. In our own measurements, a round trip from the facility to Miami takes around 10 milliseconds, close enough that most business systems in Florida and on the US East Coast behave as if the server were next door.
Servers are addressed from Bahamian-domiciled IP space, announced over BGP across independent local carriers, so traffic to and from your server does not need to transit the United States. For international teams whose first priority is a Bahamian presence, our offshore VPS guide covers the network and the rules in more depth.
Who a Bahamian cloud is for
A Bahamian cloud makes most sense for organisations that hold other people's information and have to answer for where it sits: law firms and trust companies, brokers and insurers, accountants, medical practices, and anyone whose regulator or clients ask the question. Their reasons are usually some mix of three things.
- One legal system. Data held in Nassau by a Bahamian company sits under Bahamian law, including the new Data Protection Act, 2025 as it is brought into force, rather than under whatever law follows a foreign provider home.
- Recovery planned around local risk. The facility has served as a disaster recovery site in a hurricane region since 2008; our notes on continuity planning in the Caribbean explain how to use it.
- People you can reach. A local team that answers the phone in your time zone, and a building you can walk into.
Common questions
Is my data actually stored in The Bahamas?
Yes. Cloud servers and stored files live on hardware in our facility in Nassau, operated by a Bahamian company. You can book a site tour to see it for yourself.
Who owns Secure Shore Cloud?
Secure Shore Limited, a Bahamian company with no US parent, subsidiary, branch or affiliations. That matters because laws such as the US CLOUD Act reach providers through their corporate ties, not through where a server happens to sit.
Can I visit the data center?
Yes, by appointment. Site tours can be booked from our data center page or by contacting us. We encourage anyone choosing a provider for sensitive data to see the building first.
How quickly can I get a server?
Virtual servers, on a fixed plan or a custom build, are provisioned automatically within minutes of payment. Dedicated bare-metal servers are prepared by our team, and you are notified when they are ready.
Do you offer Windows servers?
Not as virtual servers: our VPS range is Linux only (Ubuntu LTS, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and Kali). Dedicated bare-metal servers give you full control of the machine if you need something else.
Does Bahamian data protection law apply to the data you host?
Yes. The Bahamas has had a data protection statute since 2003, and a new Data Protection Act, 2025 received assent in December 2025 and is being brought into force in stages. Check the current position of any provision your compliance case depends on; this page is not legal advice.
