We have always been committed to providing hosting solutions that prioritize green energy, natural cooling, and privacy protections. Our location in Iceland has long been a cornerstone of this mission. It offers an ideal environment for hosting with its renewable energy resources and strong data privacy laws. However, as we continue to grow, we recognized a critical gap in the market: the need for affordable DDoS protection, especially for smaller businesses and organizations.
Affordable DDoS protection in Iceland
Historically, DDoS protection was often too expensive for customers with smaller budgets. Many clients seeking a green hosting provider with strong privacy and security, eg fridaysforfuture.org, were unable to access adequate protection against these increasingly common cyberattacks. To address this need we have taken significant steps to enhance our portfolio in Iceland.
In the third quarter of 2020, we began testing traffic filtering options from one of our Points of Presence (POPs) in Amsterdam to minimize delays in traffic routing. By the fourth quarter, we completed major upgrades and are excited to announce that we now include free DDoS protection with all hosting services at our Iceland location. This ensures that, regardless of your budget, your projects are protected from disruptive DDoS attacks.
New hardware options and lower costs in Iceland
In addition to free DDoS protection, we’ve expanded our hardware options at our Iceland location. Following the success of our dedicated server offerings in Romania, we’ve now introduced G7 and G8 blades in Iceland. We’ve also made improvements to our security infrastructure by securing our KVM network behind a VPN. This ensures that we protect all data transmitted from our Iceland location with an extra layer of securit
Although Iceland is not traditionally a low-budget location, we have worked hard to reduce costs by exploring various options for more affordable dedicated servers. This enables us to offer high-performance hardware at competitive rates, making green hosting with top-notch security accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to do anything to activate DDoS protection?
A: There is nothing you need to do from your side, our DDoS sensor will detect any attack and filter the traffic before it reaches your server. Please note that this protection covers 99% of attacks, and you must still ensure your website and server are optimized to withstand any threats.
Q: Does the package include Layer 7 protection?
A: Yes, we include it. However, you will have to provide us your one year valid SSL certificate so we can install it into the filter. In our Beta setup, we no longer require this, but it is not yet available for all customers.
Q: Can I request a customized setup for my application?
A: Yes, customized DDoS protection setups are available. Contact our support team for a tailored offer that meets your specific needs.
