Built by an engineer who hosts what he runs.

2-Host started because the hosting market is dominated by resellers — operators who buy capacity from someone else and put their logo on top. That model has one obvious problem: when something breaks, the person you reach is not the person who can fix it.

The infrastructure here is operated end-to-end by the founder. A Tier-3 datacenter in the EU hosts the physical hardware. A virtualization layer on top provides hardware-isolated VPS instances and isolated shared-hosting accounts. The datacenter network filters DDoS attacks before they reach the servers, and every site gets a free SSL certificate.

The business is small on purpose. Most decisions are made by one person who understands both the network and the security stack. Support is in English, Swedish, and Arabic — not because that is the marketing promise, but because those are the languages the founder and the support team actually speak.

Servers in a Tier-3 datacenter in the EU, under EU jurisdiction. Your sites, databases, email and backups are stored and processed there, with no US Cloud Act exposure. The client area uses spam protection and, only if you agree, statistics and live chat from outside providers that may process limited data outside the EU. The privacy policy lists each one.

The datacenter network filters DDoS attacks before they reach our servers. The servers are firewalled, allow key-only SSH, and run automatic security updates and brute-force protection by default. Every shared-hosting account gets off-site backups; every VPS gets snapshot support and replicated nightly backups.
