What inspired you to start PanamaServer.com and what was that like?
PanamaServer.com started over 21 years ago out of passion and necessity. Back in 2004, there weren’t many reliable hosting options in Latin America—especially not with real control or decent support. I was already working in tech, and I realized that many businesses in the region needed a provider they could talk to, trust, and grow with. It started small, with just a few shared reseller hosting accounts and a lot of determination, then get a dedicated server, then build a TELCO room in Panama and joined LACNIC at 2007 and start selling servers too. Fast forward to today, we’ve built a strong network of clients around the world who trust us not just for our infrastructure, but for our human approach and commitment to uptime, privacy, and performance.What different kinds of shared hosting do you offer and what are the differences between them?
We offer three main types of shared hosting, tailored for different needs:- Alojamiento cPanel: This is the classic option with the cPanel interface that many clients already know and love. It’s reliable, stable, and easy to manage, especially for email-heavy or multi-domain users.
- Alojamiento Plesk: Ideal for those who prefer Plesk control panel hosting or want a modern, unified panel with features like Git integration, Docker support, and security tools out-of-the-box.
What makes you the right choice for someone looking for VPS services?
We don’t just sell VPS—we manage them with purpose. Our clients value that we offer fully customizable VPS on KVM or LXC, hosted on enterprise-grade hardware, not overcommitted or oversold. You can choose between self-managed, semi-managed, or fully-managed VPS, depending on your skill level and needs.But what really makes us different is our flexibility. Need IPv6? Custom OS? Need to host offshore? We listen, adapt, and deliver. Plus, you always have real humans on your side—no ticket queues that take days.
What other services do you offer?
Besides shared hosting and VPS, we also provide:- Dedicated Servers (with fast provisioning in Panama or the US)
- Domain registration
- Email hosting (with catch-all, webmail, spam filtering, etc.)
- Reseller hosting and soon, white-label solutions for agencies
- Custom server colocation in Panama
- Private Cloud and bare metal provisioning for enterprise clients
- And we’re building pFlex.io, our own self-hosted control panel for those who want total independence from cPanel or Plesk.
How does your service cater to clients who prioritize privacy and data sovereignty?
Privacy has always been a core pillar for us. Panama has no mandatory data retention laws, and we operate independently, no ties to the US Patriot Act or EU surveillance directives. Our clients know that when they host with us, their data stays where they want it.We also support anonymous signups with crypto payments (BTC, USDT, etc.), and we don’t require unnecessary KYC unless legally obliged. If you’re a journalist, activist, or just someone who values privacy, we’re on your side.
Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
Yes—PanamaServer.com is not just about servers, it’s about freedom and ownership. In a world where everyone is pushed into the same big clouds, we give people back control of their infrastructure. We’re also deeply committed to the region. We believe Latin America deserves world-class infrastructure with local support and real values—and we’re building that every day.To learn more, you can visit Panamaserver.com
