At Patmos, our mission has always been to provide scalable, reliable, and “cancel-free” hosting services. We believe in the fundamental principle that every idea has a right to be heard, whether or not we agree with it. This commitment to freedom of expression and decentralization drives everything we do. It is with this shared ethos that we are proud to announce our membership in the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition).
Why the i2Coalition?
The i2Coalition is a collective of businesses and organizations dedicated to ensuring the continued growth and development of the Internet’s infrastructure. Through its working groups, the i2Coalition tackles critical global policy issues impacting the Internet, such as cybersecurity, privacy, technology and trade, and DNS challenges. By joining the i2Coalition, Patmos gains the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded companies that are committed to protecting the open Internet.
A Shared Vision for the Internet
Patmos and the i2Coalition are united by a common vision: an Internet that remains open, decentralized, and free from overreach by monopolistic entities or governmental regulation that could stifle innovation. As Joe Morgan, our Chief Infrastructure Officer, recently explained in an interview with the i2Coalition, we see ourselves as part of the “parallel economy”—a movement of individuals and businesses seeking alternatives to monopolistic service providers.
“We’ve seen people who get de-platformed or de-hosted just because they don’t fit the regular mold,” Joe noted. “Patmos provides cancel-proof hosting to ensure that voices are not silenced based on ideological reasons, as long as they operate within the bounds of the law and standard terms of service.”
This mission aligns with the i2Coalition’s efforts to create an environment where smaller, independent players in the Internet infrastructure space can thrive without undue influence from large corporations or ill-informed regulatory frameworks.
Supporting the Next Generation of Infrastructure
As we look to the future, Patmos is also focused on the technical evolution of the Internet. With the rise of generative AI and GPU-intensive workloads, we are at the forefront of providing the infrastructure needed to support these advancements. Our recent partnership with Hydra Host and plans for a new AI-focused data center underscore our commitment to staying ahead of industry trends while maintaining our core values.
Conclusion
Joining the i2Coalition is a natural extension of Patmos’ mission to champion freedom of speech and decentralization in the Internet’s infrastructure. Through collaboration and advocacy, we are proud to contribute to the ongoing fight for an open, innovative, and equitable Internet.
