📄 Editorial Review

Gigas is a Spanish-born cloud and telecommunications operator that has grown into an international provider of converged services for businesses. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Alcobendas (Madrid), they focus much more on infrastructure, connectivity and security than on classic low-end shared hosting. Their positioning is clearly B2B: cloud infrastructure, managed backup, colocation and corporate connectivity for SMEs, mid-market and enterprise customers across Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Latin America. The group claims more than 10,000 business customers and presents itself as a single provider for network, cloud and collaboration services.

From a hosting and infrastructure perspective, the backbone of the portfolio is the Cloud Datacenter platform. Instead of selling individual virtual machines only, Gigas offers a pool of CPU, RAM, storage and networking that behaves like a virtual data center. Customers can create multiple virtual servers, define VLANs and VPNs, choose different storage tiers (SSD, SAS, SATA), configure firewalls and load balancers, and orchestrate backup and disaster-recovery options from a central control panel. The platform is available on KVM and VMware, with pre-configured plans as well as fully custom configurations, and is particularly suitable for ERPs, core business applications and multi-server environments.

Alongside this, Gigas operates a simpler Cloud VPS line for customers who want predefined virtual private servers rather than a full virtual data center. These VPS plans include dedicated resources, a dedicated IP, unlimited transfer, firewall, and the option to add backup and licenses. Templates for Linux and Windows Server are available, as well as one-click images for popular CMS and applications like WordPress, PrestaShop, Magento, Joomla and Drupal. The VPS range is clearly aimed at developers, agencies, e-commerce projects, freelancers and small businesses that need more control and performance than shared hosting without managing an entire cloud pool.

For desktop and application delivery, Gigas offers Virtual Desktop (Desktop-as-a-Service), a plug-and-play environment for publishing business applications on the web. It is marketed as an alternative to on-premises Remote Desktop / Citrix stacks, allowing employees to access corporate applications securely from any browser and device, with emphasis on high availability, firewalling, backup, VPNs and disaster recovery. This makes sense for organizations that want to centralize line-of-business software without maintaining their own remote desktop infrastructure.

Data protection is another major pillar. The g-Backup suite provides fully managed backup solutions for workstations, physical and virtual servers and Microsoft 365, with features like immutable repositories, hybrid backup (local plus cloud), integration with Veeam, reporting and daily monitoring. For endpoints, g-Backup Workstation secures PCs and Macs with 100 GB per device; g-Backup Server and g-Backup Business target servers and larger deployments with 1 TB included; g-Backup Infinite keeps multiple historical versions of files like a "time machine," and g-Backup 365 covers Microsoft 365 data with extended retention and unlimited storage. These services can be combined with Gigas connectivity (FTTH and Private Cloud Connect) to build robust backup and DR environments.

Where bare-metal and physical infrastructure are required, Gigas complements its cloud with Colocation services. Companies can place their own hardware in a network of Tier III / Tier IV / ICREA 5-grade data centers in Europe and the Americas, benefiting from redundant power and cooling, 24/7 monitoring, access to multiple fiber networks, proximity to submarine cables in Lisbon, and 100% renewable energy for the supported facilities. The colocation offering is wrapped with optional managed services for system administration, monitoring, NOC and business-continuity workspaces, making it attractive to organizations that still want physical control over servers but prefer to offload facilities and operations.

On top of infrastructure, Gigas delivers connectivity and telecom services (fiber, dedicated Internet access, Private Cloud Connect, voice and collaboration), as well as specialized solutions such as SAP and Sage cloud hosting and g-Cloud Ecommerce, which bundles domain registration, web design, hosting and basic SEO into a turnkey online store package. Domain registration and SSL certificates are available as add-ons for cloud and VPS customers, and the ecosystem is supported by a substantial documentation portal and API access.

Overall, Gigas behaves less like a traditional web hosting company and more like a mid-sized, cloud-first telecom and IT provider. For a typical web hosting customer, the most relevant products will be Cloud VPS and smaller Cloud Datacenter deployments, possibly combined with managed backup and connectivity. For businesses needing a broader stack—cloud, backup, telecom, cybersecurity and colocation under one roof—their integrated model is compelling.
