I will never buy hosting (and trust it with personal data) from a website with no information on the company behind it. All legal information you provide are in a Notion file?! The place which would make the company address public is the Data Processing Agreement, which is "talk to us". It seems like you want to intentionally hide your legal entity, which isn’t very trustworthy.

Edit: The ToS say "The Website is offered by canvay.io, located in Karlsruhe, Germany". Dude, with all due respect, get your shit together. As a German citizen/company, you MUST publish an imprint with a company address, a VAT etc. [1].

It looks like a genuinely nice service, but it is just a matter of time until someone sends you a cease-and-desist order, which will be a lot more expensive than getting a proper imprint. And also, you'll earn more trust.

If you incorporated as a sole proprietator and want to protect your private address, sign up for a desk at a local coworking space and put that address online.

Thank you for your notice, this was definitely not the intention, I've added the contact details as well as VAT ID to the legal page
