Internet Vikings just launched a new data centre in Belgium. The company provides licensed hosting services for European and US iGaming operators.
They’ve been in the European iGaming hosting business for 17 years. That makes them one of the more established infrastructure providers in the sector.
Rickard Vikström is the company’s Founder and CEO. He’s been leading the expansion strategy across Europe.
The Belgium facility is part of a bigger plan to expand infrastructure across the EU. Internet Vikings wants to offer more locally based options to operators.
“We are expanding our infrastructure across the EU to better support the needs of our clients,” Vikström said. “The Belgium launch is a practical step toward that goal.”
Local data centers help with performance and compliance. European operators often need hosting that meets specific regional requirements.
The move also helps Internet Vikings compete better with other hosting providers. More locations means better service options for clients.
The Belgium data center provides cloud services directly from its location. All customers can now access a local, fully managed cloud solution from this site.
Internet Vikings can now offer redundant setups. The Belgium facility works with their existing data centres in Sweden and Amsterdam.
This setup gives operators better resilience and reliability. Companies with high availability needs get more backup options.
The new location meets European data protection standards. This helps operators stay compliant with local regulations.
The Belgium launch strengthens Internet Vikings’ European footprint. They now have three major data centre locations across key markets.
Operators get better performance from local hosting. Closer servers mean faster loading times and better user experience.
The redundant setup option appeals to larger operators. Companies can now spread their infrastructure across multiple countries for better risk management.
Internet Vikings can compete more effectively with global hosting giants. Having local presence in Belgium opens doors to new client opportunities.
The company’s focus stays on meeting iGaming industry demands. They understand the technical and regulatory requirements that operators face.
This expansion shows how infrastructure providers are adapting to Europe’s regulated markets. Local presence becomes more important as compliance requirements get stricter.
Earlier this year, Internet Vikings signed a deal with slot developer RubyPlay in New Jersey. The deal meant that Internet Vikings would supply bare-metal server hosting from its Atlantic City facility. This deal was secured shortly after the supplier concluded agreements with EveryMatrix in West Virginia and Spinomenal in New Jersey.
Internet Vikings CEO has mentioned previously that US operations now make up most of the company’s revenue. Internet Vikings continues to invest in European infrastructure, with Belgium being the latest addition to its network of regional hosting centres.
