Who We Are

HCoop is an internet hosting service which operates in the form of a non-profit (c)(12) democratic cooperative. Each member has an equal vote in the workings of the organization and election of Board of Directors. Many members choose to join HCoop because it provides them with more freedom, transparency, and options than other hosting services.

HCoop members range from individuals who have never hosted or managed a website before (but want to learn) to experienced Linux programmers and system administrators. HCoop strives to support all levels of technical expertise. Our members are located across four continents in 17 different countries. Although our servers are located in Jamaica, New York, USA, and the non-profit is registered in Pennsylvania, USA, due to the modern conveniences of the internet, members can participate fully from anywhere where there is an internet connection.

Our system administrators and other active members operate as volunteers for the betterment of the cooperative. Active participation in the cooperative is not required, however we encourage all members to vote in the Board of Directors elections which occur once a year and read any announcements that come from our admins via e-mail (very, very seldom).
