Questions

01

What does Njalla mean?

From the dictionary: A njalla is a traditional type of storage hut or cache built on top of a long stump of a tree or pole in order to prevent animals getting hold of the contents (typically food or other perishables).

The word is referring to the traditional Sámi way of keeping the non-wanted beasts out of the stuff you care about.

02

What separates Njalla from traditional domain name registration services?

We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield.

When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.

03

What packages do you have?

We don't do packages. All of the domains include the same service, if you use them or not. We want to keep things simple, and we're not trying to compete on price but security. We will never be the cheapest domain name registration service but we'll always be the most privacy centered one.

That's our promise to you.

04

Who's behind Njalla?

We're a team of committed internet activists, and we're also involved in other privacy projects such as the IPredator VPN service. Some of us have also been involved in projects like The Pirate Bay and Piratbyrån to mention a few things.

Or to keep it simple; we've got a long history and serious understanding of the issues of anonymity on the internet.
