About Noiz

Noiz is a cybersecurity and hosting company based in Ireland, dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses through innovative, privacy-focused solutions. Established with a commitment to privacy, security, freedom, and open source principles, Noiz serves as a trusted partner for those seeking reliable hosting services, robust data protection, and advanced threat mitigation in an increasingly digital world.

Our mission is to leverage technology to enhance human freedom, countering centralised control and promoting decentralised systems that place power back in the hands of users.

At Noiz, we view technology not as a tool for restriction but as a means to liberate. Our foundational belief is that digital solutions should amplify individual autonomy, protect against surveillance, and foster open collaboration. This ethos drives every aspect of our operations, from shared hosting and cloud services to comprehensive cybersecurity measures and support. Whether you require dedicated hosting, backup and disaster recovery, or specialised privacy solutions, Noiz delivers tailored services designed for the Irish market and beyond.

Our History

Noiz was registered in Ireland on 17 September 2024, marking the establishment of our headquarters for operations in Ireland and Europe. From the outset, hosting has been our primary service, providing reliable and secure platforms for websites, applications, and data management.

As we expanded, we identified a unique niche in deGoogled mobile phones, offering devices pre-configured for privacy that free users from corporate tracking and data exploitation. This focus aligns seamlessly with our core principles, enabling individuals to reclaim control over their personal technology.

Our evolution underscores a dedication to innovation and adaptability, ensuring we remain at the forefront of technological advancements that empower users and challenge centralised dominance.

Our Philosophy: Disrupting the Signal

At the heart of Noiz lies a philosophy inspired by the concept of “the signal”—a metaphor for the pervasive control systems embedded in modern society and technology. This signal represents a power differential where centralised entities transmit information, worldviews, and directives to passive recipients, often leading to surveillance and manipulation.

Noiz positions itself as a disruptor of this signal, introducing “noise” to challenge and dismantle these controls. Our name derives from “Network of Independent Zones,” symbolising a federated structure where autonomous entities collaborate without a central authority. This draws from free and open source communities, where independence coexists with interconnectedness, promoting resilience and adaptability.

In a technological context, noise disrupts uniform signals, much like decentralised networks resist single points of failure. Societally, it amplifies dissenting voices, countering censorship and enabling free expression.

For Ireland, this philosophy resonates deeply in a context of evolving digital sovereignty within the European Union. We advocate for technologies that protect against cyber threats, surveillance, and centralised data monopolies, ensuring that hosting services, cloud computing, and security measures enhance freedom rather than restrict it.

Decentralisation is woven into our services to mitigate risks associated with centralised infrastructures. This approach bolsters security while aligning with our ethos of privacy and freedom, allowing users to operate in independent zones while benefiting from collective strength.

As a formalised cypherpunk movement, Noiz embodies libre and open source technology, cryptography, cryptocurrency, end-to-end encryption, censorship resistance, and decentralisation. These elements provide essential protection in a hyper-surveillance society. Our vision is to enable the future of human freedom, recognising that technology can either demolish artificial walls or lay the foundation for an Orwellian state.

This hybrid approach supports decentralised architectures, minimising risks and maximising uptime. Whether for shared hosting or dedicated environments, our infrastructure prioritises security and privacy, integrating open source tools to deliver transparent, user-controlled experiences.

Commitment to Privacy

Privacy is embedded in everything we do. All services are designed to shield users from surveillance and data exploitation. We employ end-to-end encryption, censorship-resistant technologies, and decentralised protocols to create a barrier against intrusive actors.

We accept private cryptocurrencies like Monero for all services, enabling anonymous transactions that bypass traditional financial controls. This payment flexibility reflects our broader commitment to open source ideals, fostering a free market where users retain control over their finances and data.
