1984

1984 is a green, ethical hosting company in Iceland. Founded in 2006, 1984 has been dedicated to freedom of speech. The company was established by a couple of Free Software and civil rights enthusiasts and has since grown to become Iceland’s biggest web hosting company by far. Their goal is to offer high-quality web hosting and VPS services at a competitive price, always respecting and protecting their customers’ civil and political rights.

1984 offers traditional ready-to-use web hosting with mail services and VPS with preconfigured Wireguard setup, OpenVPN, Nextcloud, and more. They also offer FreeDNS, where you can host as many domains as you like with no restrictions. In addition to FreeDNS, they offer domain registration and transfer services, including domain privacy for the Top Level Domains that allow whois privacy.

Unwavering loyalty to their customers and their fundamental rights is a core value of 1984. The company and its officers will always go the extra mile to protect their customers’ civil rights, including the freedom of expression, the freedom of the press, and the right to anonymity and privacy. 1984 will always do everything within its legal power to inform its customers of any inquiries from authorities, lawyers, or courts into the customer’s affairs they may become aware of.

The jurisdiction that the company operates in must be Iceland, where the IMMI legislation is forthcoming, making Iceland a haven for freedom of the press and freedom of expression in general. This commitment to civil liberties is reflected in the company’s name, which reminds us of what can happen if we fall asleep on our watch.

In addition to their commitment to civil liberties, 1984 is also committed to environmentally responsible business practices. They utilize only electricity from renewable energy sources and emphasize reaching the highest possible energy utilization efficiency levels.

This is achievable in Iceland because all electricity production meets these criteria, and the cold climate makes PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) very high. This means that for each watt used to run servers, storage, and network equipment, proportionally, very little is used for cooling, lighting, and other overhead.

1984 also values the freedom and transparency that Free Software offers and the excellent security and reliability track record that the Free Software model offers. They commit to using Free Software wherever possible. Free Software is to make a political and ethical choice asserting the right to learn – and share what we learn with others.

In summary, 1984 Hosting Company was established to contribute responsibly and ethically to life on the Internet. They offer high-quality web hosting services while remaining committed to protecting their customers’ civil rights, utilizing green energy from renewable sources, and using Free Software wherever possible. That’s why they’re in this business.
