Data Hosting in Iceland

Iceland offers a unique proposition in the European hosting market: 100% renewable energy from geothermal and hydroelectric sources combined with a subarctic climate that eliminates the need for artificial cooling. These factors make Icelandic data centers among the most environmentally sustainable in the world, with some of the lowest power usage effectiveness (PUE) ratios achievable.

As an EEA member, Iceland fully implements GDPR, providing the same data protection framework as EU member states. The country's political stability, strong rule of law, and geographic position between Europe and North America make it an attractive choice for organizations prioritizing sustainability alongside EU data sovereignty.
