Internet Vikings enters US licensed cloud hosting for iGaming operators

The global cloud hosting provider Internet Vikings announced Monday its expansion into the U.S. market by offering licensed hosting to iGaming operators in West Virginia. 

The company has secured its position in the U.S. market by setting up its first data center in West Virginia, where it will soon provide customizable hosting solutions including 24 cores, 64 GB RAM, 500 GB storage, and 50Mbit bandwidth per month across 12 more states, starting with Michigan and Pennsylvania, and then moving on to New Jersey, Louisiana, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois and Virginia.  

The company intends to continue setting up operations in every state which introduces regulated online gaming. 

In an official press release, Internet Vikings founder and CCO, Rickard Vikström spoke about the company’s footprint expansion into the U.S. and said: “We are excited to start our journey into the United States. It's a huge challenge and wonderful opportunity for us. With this expansion we want to cement our position as a leading iGaming hosting provider on a global scale”.

Elena Kvakova, head of U.S. Expansion at Internet Vikings, added: "Hosting has always been our strong suit and our main product. As we were learning the ins and outs of the gambling hosting regulations and market in the USA, we noticed a few things that could be done better. And to us, a Swedish company, an agile approach and customer focus are at the forefront of everything we do. That is what we are trying to do in the key states right now - set up secure, reliable, cost-effective and fully-formed hosting solutions, so that the new providers that are entering the U.S. market will be able to focus on other things."

In the company’s words, “Internet Vikings is rapidly scoring points and growing its noteworthy reputation as one of the most prominent names in the industry”. 

The company also launched a new data center in Singapore at the beginning of 2021, along with a virtualization platform in Malta which, in combination with the recently achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, makes Internet Vikings "fully compliant with MGA requirements". 

“All this added to its current expansion into the USA, positions Internet Vikings as a confident market leader and a front-runner when it comes to cloud hosting services in the iGaming industry”, concluded the company.
