Overview
PRQ is a specialized hosting provider located in Sweden, describing itself as a free-speech haven serving a growing community of international clients with special needs. It was founded in 2004 and is run by Internet veterans, most of whom have been online for over 30 years. The company states that if content is legal in Sweden it will host it and keep it up regardless of pressure to take it down, while maintaining zero tolerance against child porn, SPAM and related services. Its services include VPS, dedicated servers, co-location, and VPN tunnels such as WireGuard, and it operates its own fully multi-homed backbone network (AS33837).
History
PRQ was founded in 2004. It describes itself as a small player on the Swedish and international hosting market, started and run by Internet veterans with long experience, most of whom have been online for over 30 years. The company states that its goal has always been to help a broad range of companies and individuals publish themselves using the Internet. It says it is a firm believer in freedom of speech, commerce, and the right to privacy and anonymity, reflected both in its terms of service and in its actions. Unlike most providers, it states it will not disable a service unless it is not paid for, used for child porn, SPAM, DDoS or other activities harming the network, used for publishing very obviously illegal material like child porn, or if ordered to by a Swedish court. It also states it does not require knowing a customer's name or address and does not require a written contract.
Products and positioning
A hosting provider prioritizing freedom of expression, anonymity, and a strong technical/legal foundation, especially for content others may consider too "edgy."
VPS (Virtual Private Server)
A virtual machine that runs its own copy of an operating system on a shared physical server, giving private server-like control without the higher cost of a dedicated physical server; described as perfect as entry-level and small services.
Dedicated servers
Based on high-quality, server-grade hardware; actual brand-name servers meant for the stress and continuous operation of server duty, with installation of any OS of your choice included.
Co-location
Offered in PRQ's own facility with redundant high-performance Internet connections, a good perimeter, stable UPS and diesel backed power supply and climate control.
VPN Tunnels (WireGuard)
Allows users to hide real IP addresses and bypass filters and surveillance at their ISP, with anonymity as any tracings will only lead to PRQ.
