Looking For Best Hosting Provider and a Consultant in Iceland

[bump]

Hello,
I'm creating a forum that seems to be closest to a kind of journalism. Privacy is a paramount concern for me so I want this site to be in a country that is more stable than my own, and has a very strong and robust commitment to Journalism and Privacy. To me, that means Iceland and Switzerland. And I think Iceland wins on Privacy and accountability for Journalism. Or so it seems to me. I'm open to higher quality information.
To that end, I'd like to hear what experience has to say about the best hosting in Iceland, and also the best Xenforo consultants in Iceland. Currently, I live on the West Coast of the USA. In about two years or so my wife, a close friend, and I will be in Iceland for a few weeks to ride dirt bikes and explore.
It's fine to PM me with your suggestions but know I am gonna do a lot of research or recommendations. But, I will not publish anyone's PMs.
My original plan, before Covid, was to publish the forum using KnownHost. Then transfer it later to Iceland. But so much time has gone by that I don't want to add needless complexity.
Thank you for reading this!

I've used Orange. Good service, exceptional privacy, sustainable, and a bit expensive, but not overly so.

I've been using a2hosting for ten years and they are reliable and decently priced.

I thought perhaps the few people here might be interested in the reply I received from Orange. If I am reading this correctly, they don't offer support for install or anything ongoing. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Pat

"Hi,

Hi, I’d like to set up a new Xenforo forum on Orange.

That is possible.

Q: Do you have someone on-site who is an expert at this?
A: You'd have to hire a freelancer who specializes in this.

I'd also like to have someone who can provide ongoing help building the forum. Preferably, someone in Iceland as a Xenforo consultant as I’d like to do it all in Iceland.

Unfortunately, we do not offer Development services. You'd have to hire a freelancer for development work.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply! I'm 100% committed to hosting in Iceland. Cloud Access is in the USA and Poland. Both countries have had serious failures respecting journalism and basic rights in any liberal democracy.

Yeah i know but you told me you're based in America. I'd use that service.
Even https://www.namecheap.com are global.
So you'd be able to reach it with no issue as cloudaccess.net are global too.
