The groundbreaking expansion comes just three years after the United States ended its 26-year federal ban on gambling and finally opened its doors to the lucrative industry. The new data center will kick off a transition period for Internet Vikings to offer hosting services to iGaming operators in West Virginia.
The data center will now offer customizable hosting solutions in 12 additional states, including 24 cores, 4GB of RAM, 500GB of storage, and 50Mbit of bandwidth per month. Outreach efforts will begin in Michigan and Pennsylvania and then move to New Jersey, Arizona, Louisiana, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, Colorado and Virginia.
As u.S. states continue to adopt iGaming on a large scale, Internet Vikings’ strategy of establishing a presence in various legal states will soon be able to materialize. Thanks to its unique quality hosts, the company has long built a reputation as a forward-thinking pioneer by always associating itself with state-of-the-art solutions. The company not only anticipates trends, but also gets ahead of the curve, becoming internationally recognized as one of the most well-known companies in the industry. By establishing its first data center in West Virginia, the company has cemented its position as a leading provider of custom iGaming-dedicated hosting services, starting to attract eager customers.
Rickard Vikström, Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Internet Vikings, said: “We are excited to start our journey in the United States. It’s a big challenge for us and a great opportunity. With this expansion, we hope to solidify our position as a leading iGaming hosting provider globally. ”
Elena Kvakova, Head of U.S. Expansion at Internet Vikings, has been working on this migration since last November, gathering all the necessary information to ensure a successful migration.
“Hosting has always been our forte and our main product,” says Kvakova. As we learned all the details of the gambling hosting regulations and market in the United States, we noticed that there were a few things that could be done better. ”
“For us as a Swedish company, an agile approach and customer centricity are top priorities in everything we do. That’s exactly what we’re doing now in key states – building a secure, reliable, cost-effective, and fully formed hosting solution so that new vendors entering the U.S. market can focus on other operations. ”
In addition to providing a variety of premium services, Internet Vikings strives to share its knowledge of best practices for entering the U.S. market with other vendors and operators, providing advice on licensing and requirements. In fact, in March, the IT and cloud hosting provider hosted a webinar with Elena Kvakova and Jesper Kärrbrink on “How to enter the U.S. as a B2B provider”.
With a new data center in Singapore and a virtualization platform in Malta, Internet Vikings’ latest expansion in the US market has made the company a frontrunner in cloud hosting services in the iGaming industry.
