Our honest verdict
1984 Hosting is an institution — 20 years in Iceland, ISO 27001, a reputation for defending press freedom that is hard to match. Their constraint is mono-jurisdictional. If Iceland is exactly what you need, 1984 is a reference choice. If you need portfolio-level diversification or dedicated hardware, ServPrivacy covers more ground including Iceland.
