Narrative updated for the September 2026 edition.
The Czech Republic slips one place to tenth at 6.05 (June: 6.11), while keeping the EU's best private-sector hosting: a perfect 10, with the .cz sample rated 0.62. Only 32% of the 489 measured .cz domains are hosted outside the EU, and domestic providers lead: MasterDC, VSHosting, CASABLANCA INT, CESNET and Seznam.cz. Public-sector hosting is middling (6.67, 11th) and developer density low (2.54, 20th).
Strengths
- Private-sector hosting (perfect 10). The lowest non-EU hosting share among the large TLDs; 41% of email is routed outside the EU, also among the lowest.
- Grassroots adoption (5.13, 8th).
Weaknesses
- The presidency's website runs on Cloudflare, for web and DNS:
www.hrad.czrates 0.33.www.vlada.czroutes email through Microsoft (0.67); onlywww.praha.euis fully domestic. - Developer density (2.54, 20th).
- Cloudflare hosts 25% of the measured sample, almost all of its non-EU hosting.
Outlook
The private pillar has no headroom. The public pillar has: two official sites away from US providers would lift it to 10 and the country into the top five.
Historical context
2020 baseline
In 2020, the Czech Republic was an "emerging" country with established legal foundations for both strategic and open source fronts but had yet to translate them into proactive, high-impact national initiatives.
2024 progression
A major structural change is the establishment of the Digital and Information Agency (DIA) in 2023, which centralizes digital governance. The "Brno Declaration" by key associations is paving the way for a national OSPO, indicating a move towards a more coordinated open source strategy.
