The word "host" refers to the computer, commonly called a "server", from which users access various services such as Web sites and email, for example. Thus, the term "hosting" refers to the service of maintaining a server which offers these various services.

The speed of a Web site, email, etc. depend on the server, the operating system used, and the speed of the Internet connection to which the server is attached, among other things. Our servers run the powerful and stable operating system known as Linux. We provide hosting for applications developed using PHP and MySQL, among others. We also offer Drupal hosting.

Our servers, equipped with Intel Xeon processors, are located in Panama City, Panama at the Internet Data Center, which is located in Tecnoparque de Panamá in Ft. Clayton, a former United States military base transformed into a technological park. The Internet Data Center's building is completely confined and secure. It is built of reinforced concrete, following the highest quality standards dictated by the Uptime Institute. The building was designed to withstand earthquakes of up to 7.5° on the Richter scale. It has gypsum walls which act as fire retardants for up to two hours. There are technical and security personnel 24 hours a day, as well as high-speed fiber optic connectivity and power generators in the event of a power failure.

Panama is the "center" of the Americas, both geographically and historically. Panama is rapidly becoming a haven for telecommunications and Internet companies. Massive investments in infrastructure are being made continually. Panama has the largest access to multiple inter-continental broadband fiber-optic networks in the region.

The infrastructure of Panama is already one of the best in Latin America and the Caribbean. Depending on the country in which you company is based there could be significant reductions in cost by using servers located in Panama. For instance, a company in Panama is perpetually tax exempt, provided that the income or profits of the company are generated outside of Panama. Your company could sell through Internet using a server located in Panama, and even better you could incorporate a company in Panama for this purpose.

PanamaCOM can provide both dedicated or shared hosting, offering several plans that fit various needs and budgets.

If your company needs to host an online store, Web site, or application, then an offshore server in Panama is the solution. Please contact us if you would like to know more about our hosting plans.
