Why Reykjavik
Reykjavik suits work that should sit outside the EU's main corridors without leaving European latency range. Iceland runs on hydro and geothermal power, spends most of the year cooling itself, and lands its own subsea cables rather than transiting a neighbour's backbone.
How Reykjavik is connected
The island's subsea systems run to Scotland by way of the Faroes on FARICE-1, to Denmark on DANICE and to Ireland on IRIS, with a further route across to Greenland, so Dublin and London sit in the low tens of milliseconds and Copenhagen a little beyond. RIX and IXReykjavik between them carry the domestic networks. Anything past the North Atlantic is somebody else's backbone.
What REK1 is good at
- 01Cold storage and archive mirrors
- 02Publishing platforms needing source protection
- 03Long batch jobs on renewable power

Questions about Reykjavik
No. Registration in every location, Reykjavik included, is an email address and a password. We do not ask for identity documents, a phone number or a card anywhere in our footprint.
It depends what you are serving. REK1 peers at RIX, IXReykjavik, which sets how directly it reaches the networks your users sit on. The latency table above is measured, not modelled: read the row for the hub closest to your audience and decide from that rather than from the map.
The REK1 point of presence peers at RIX, IXReykjavik and carries 1.9 Tbps of aggregate transit. Every node uplinks at 2 x 10 Gbps, filtered inline by 1.5 Tbps of scrubbing capacity.
Prices in Reykjavik are indexed at 118% of the base list, which reflects local transit and power cost. The annual cycle takes thirty percent off that, and ordering several servers on one invoice takes a further three to ten percent. The table above shows both cycles.
Median provisioning at REK1 is under a minute from confirmed payment. Windows images take three to four minutes because of sysprep. Nothing in the flow waits for a human.
