Sircon

What Sircon does

Sircon Norge AS is a Norwegian domain registrar and web hosting company headquartered in Trondheim, founded in 2008 and operating as an aksjeselskap (Norwegian private limited company). The company owns and operates its own data center infrastructure in Trondheim running on 100% renewable Norwegian hydropower, under Norwegian jurisdiction, and is an accredited registrar for .no, .se, and .dk domain names. Its product portfolio spans domain registration with free DNS, web hosting on an All Flash Cluster, VPS servers delivered on Proxmox/Ceph with Enterprise SSD storage, cloud backup (Backuphotell), managed WordPress hosting with proprietary themes and plugins, and SLA packages. Sircon also offers the Supervisor subscription-billing cloud service and the Sircon Sesam unattended access-control/API product, indicating extension beyond classic hosting into SaaS enablement and security.

Sircon's go-to-market combines direct online sales through sircon.no with a self-serve customer portal (Min Side), inside sales via Norwegian-language phone and email support, and a reseller/partner channel (Sircon Partner) that wholesales .no domains at 74 NOK per year and hosting from 5 NOK per month. Pricing is fixed and transparent, with all hosting including SSL, DDoS protection, and 30-day backup at no incremental cost. The company is vertically integrated on infrastructure — owning all hardware and data center capacity — and resells cPanel as an authorized provider while deploying Proxmox/Ceph for its VPS tier.

Customer segments are primarily Norwegian SMBs seeking affordable hosting with domestic language support and data residency, with enterprise and public-sector accounts (NTNU, Sintef, Oslo University Hospital, Trøndelag County Municipality, Miljøuniversitet) anchoring the upper end of the revenue mix. The company reports hosting thousands of websites, monitoring infrastructure 24/7/365, and operating as a Virke member and government-approved training company (lærebedrift). Headcount is in the 1–10 range; revenue is not disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• OVHcloud: Large European cloud and hosting provider with shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, and public cloud. Overlaps with Sircon on VPS and hosting, and increasingly targets the same Nordic SMB and SMB-plus segment with a broader product portfolio.
• SiteGround: International managed hosting provider specializing in WordPress, WooCommerce, and shared hosting. Competes for the same WordPress-heavy SMB and small-enterprise segment that Sircon targets with its managed WordPress offering.

Direct peers

• Loopia: Swedish-founded hosting and domain registrar serving the Nordics with shared hosting, VPS, and managed WordPress. Direct competitor for cross-border Nordic customers, particularly the .se segment where Sircon is also accredited.
• Hetzner: German hosting and cloud provider with shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers across European data centers. Competes for price-sensitive European SMBs and is a frequent alternative to Sircon for Norwegian customers prioritizing cost over local residency.
• Webhuset: Norwegian hosting and domain provider with shared hosting, WordPress, and Microsoft 365 services. Direct Norwegian competitor targeting the same SMB and small-enterprise segment with comparable Norwegian-language support.

Emerging players

• Linode (Akamai): Cloud VPS provider now part of Akamai, serving developers and SMBs with virtual servers, object storage, and managed Kubernetes. Comparable to Sircon on the VPS product line, with broader global infrastructure.
