Founded in 2017 by Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde, Njalla works as a privacy buffer: it registers domains in its own name so you never appear in WHOIS or registrar records. The company behind it is now Njalla SRL, based in Costa Rica, after a quiet move from Nevis in late 2024, while its servers sit in Sweden. It asks only for an email or XMPP address, promises never to demand KYC, and bills domains and VPS in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Monero, or by PayPal. The obvious trade-off is that you have to trust Njalla as the middleman that technically owns your domain and it is priced as a privacy layer rather than bargain hosting, it was even added to the EU's piracy watchlist in 2025, a listing Sunde publicly disputes.
