Can you give us a brief overview of ihosting as a company and its founding story?
ihosting was founded in Chile in 2002 with a clear mission: to help businesses establish and grow their presence on the internet. What started as a hosting provider has evolved today into a reliable technology partner for over 2,000 active clients —from large corporate accounts to small and medium-sized businesses, which make up the core of our customer base. From the beginning, our emphasis has been on making technology accessible, combining innovation with personalized support. Over the years, we’ve built a robust, automated platform that allows our customers to manage their services easily—while still having direct access to our team whenever they need help. Driven by customer needs, we’ve expanded our services beyond. Today, we offer cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, business email and collaboration tools, and enterprise connectivity—all backed by our infraestructure with datacenters in Santiago and Viña del Mar. With over two decades of experience, we continue to grow alongside our clients, offering flexible, secure, and high-performance solutions designed for the digital age.What different types of hosting do you provide for your clients?
We offer a full range of hosting services designed to grow with our customers—whether they’re just starting out or already running high-demand applications. Our shared hosting Starter plans are perfect for entrepreneurs and small projects taking their first steps online. They provide just the right resources to get off the ground quickly and cost-effectively. Basic plans are ideal for businesses that rely on professional email, corporate websites, and a stable online presence. For more demanding needs, our Premium plans offer higher performance—perfect for e-commerce platforms, critical workloads, and applications that require extra speed and reliability. We also provide WordPress-optimized plans, with enhanced speed, automatic updates, and added security features—all accessible from a single control panel that simplifies management. These are our core shared hosting offerings, but we go beyond that. As Cloudflare partners, we deliver advanced security and availability features such as DDoS protection, WAF (Web Application Firewall), CDN acceleration, and caching. These tools help ensure uptime, fast content delivery, and strong protection for customer websites and applications. For clients who need even more performance or flexibility, we offer Cloud VPS solutions—customizable virtual servers with dedicated resources—and cloud infrastructure through leading public cloud providers. These platforms allow us to design tailored, high-availability environments for each customer’s specific needs. We build solutions for a wide range of use cases, such as corporate sites, e-commerce, e-learning platforms, and high-traffic websites—including those used for major events or televised broadcasts. No matter the use case, we work closely with our clients to deliver the right hosting solution—secure, performant, and ready to scale.Aside from hosting, what other services do you offer?
ihosting started as a hosting company, but over time, we’ve evolved. In addition to hosting, we offer a range of services designed to support businesses as they grow. For cloud solutions, we work with global providers like Azure, AWS, and Huawei Cloud to deliver hybrid and public cloud services with international reach. We also offer:- Microsoft 365: Business email, collaboration tools, and Office apps. We handle setup, licensing, and migration. If needed, we help install the software on users’ devices and provide support—all at the same price as Microsoft’s official rates.
- Cybersecurity: We protect your infrastructure with a full suite of services, including endpoint protection, perimeter firewalls, DDoS mitigation, and a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC).
As official Cloudflare partners, we also offer advanced security and performance solutions such as: -
- Zero Trust Access to protect users, applications, and networks without relying on traditional VPNs.
- WAF (Web Application Firewall) and Bot Management to block malicious traffic.
- DDoS Protection at the network edge.
- Anycast DNS and content acceleration through Cloudflare’s global CDN.
- Connectivity: We provide high-availability internet services for businesses that need stable, enterprise-grade connections. This includes VPN solutions (such as SSL and IPsec VPNs) for secure remote access to corporate networks and cloud environments.
- Datacenter infrastructure: We operate two interconnected datacenters—one in Santiago and another in Viña del Mar, over 90 km away—offering geographic redundancy and disaster recovery options.
What makes you stand out from your competitors?
What truly sets ihosting apart is our deep technical expertise combined with a human, partnership-first approach. While many providers focus solely on infrastructure, we go further—we work side by side with our clients, acting as a strategic technology partner rather than just a service provider. With over two decades of experience and more than 2,000 active clients, we’ve built a strong reputation for being reliable, flexible, and customer-centric. Our team is easily accessible and highly involved, offering continuous guidance, tailored solutions, and hands-on support across every stage of a company’s digital growth. We operate our own interconnected datacenters in Santiago and Viña del Mar, giving us full control over our infrastructure, which translates into better performance, lower latency, and real geographic redundancy for our customers. As Cloudflare partners, we add another layer of value by integrating advanced security and availability services like Zero Trust access, DDoS protection, WAF, and CDN acceleration into our solutions. Combined with our offerings in cloud infrastructure, business email, cybersecurity, and connectivity—including VPN services—our clients gain access to comprehensive, enterprise-grade IT solutions under one roof. Ultimately, what differentiates us is our commitment to building long-term relationships. Behind every platform and deployment, we see people, businesses, and ambitions—and we take that responsibility seriously.What’s next for ihosting? What can we expect from the company in the near future?
At ihosting, we’re continuously evolving to meet the growing needs of our customers. In the coming months, we’ll be opening a new datacenter in Santiago, Chile. This new facility will allow us to offer more infrastructure and connectivity options and bring content even closer to end users—improving speed, reliability, and performance. Looking ahead, we’re investing and developing heavily in two key areas: artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. These technologies will play a central role in the next generation of our services, helping businesses become more secure, efficient, and future-ready. Our long-term vision is to become not just a national leader, but a strong regional player in Latin America—empowering companies with solutions that boost productivity and protect digital assets. Digital transformation is a journey, and we’re committed to being the technology partner that supports our clients every step of the way.Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
One thing we’d like to highlight is that at ihosting, we’re passionate about creating real impact for the businesses we work with. Beyond the technology itself, our focus is on building relationships based on trust and a deep understanding of our clients’ goals. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether it’s a small business launching its first website or a large company needing a secure, high-performance environment for mission-critical applications, we tailor our services to fit each case. We’re also proud of our culture of continuous improvement. Our team is constantly training, researching new technologies, and improving our internal processes so that our clients always receive modern, stable, and efficient solutions. Much of what we’ve built today—our Cloud VPS platform, our partnerships with hyperscalers, our investment in security and automation—has come directly from listening to our clients’ challenges and needs. And finally, we love what we do. That shows in how we support, advise, and walk alongside every customer. For us, it’s not just hosting or IT infrastructure—it’s about helping people and businesses move forward with confidence in this permanently changing digital world.To learn more about ihosting, you can visit www.ihosting.cl
