Let’s admit it, we have sort of a fetish for privacy.
We believe privacy is an important piece of democracy and that we all should have the right to be anonymous.
Njalla was started because we couldn’t find a domain name service that we wanted to use ourselves. We care about privacy, and it needs to be simple and flexible.
For instance, when you register a domain name in our system, we can register with our own data. We will be the actual registrant of the domain — it’s not an ownership by proxy as found with all other providers. However, you will still have the full control over the domain name. You can either use our information (and our nameservers) or you can go with your custom data. And you can move at any time. Simple, flexible.
Today we don’t just offer domain names, but also servers and VPN (and more things coming). Things that we couldn’t find other people we trust to run, and where we feel we could make a difference. We’ve had elections, cat pictures, revolutions and leak sites running on our machines. Things that matter.
The idea behind Njalla is to make sure that your visibility to the public is minimised if you need it to be. We’re not going to give your customer data out easily. However, we will help if there are legal merits to any formal government requests to our system. If you use our service in a way that affects anyones health or safety, we reserve the right to suspend your service.
Other organisations will brag about which customers they have. We brag about not telling who our customers are. We’ve been doing this, in different forms, for decades. And there’s a reputation and track record we take seriously.
Oh, and what Njalla means? 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.
Njalla is run by 1337 LLC based in Nevis.
