1984 Hosting

Icelandic host founded on a free-speech and privacy position, running on geothermal and hydroelectric power, selling web hosting, VPS and free anycast DNS.

Named after that book by Orwell.

1984 Hosting has operated from Iceland since 2006 under the banner “free speech and privacy since 2006”. The name is the argument: the company presents itself as an ethical and independent host, accepts Bitcoin and Monero alongside conventional payment, publishes an account of the litigation it has been involved in, and holds ISO 27001 certification.

Iceland is a deliberate choice on two counts. The jurisdiction’s data-protection posture is one; the other is that the data centers draw on Iceland’s geothermal and hydroelectric generation. The product line is shared web hosting with one-click WordPress installation, virtual servers with root access and DDoS protection, and a free anycast DNS service with automatic DNSSEC and zone history.

Worth knowing

Advertised prices carry very large standing discounts, so the headline figure is a promotional rate rather than the list price a renewal is measured against. The pages that sell the shared plans also leave a good deal unstated — which language runtimes are available, whether shell access is included, which databases can be used — so those details have to be asked about rather than read.
