📄 Editorial Review

Link Datacenter (LDC) is an Egyptian hosting, cloud, and managed infrastructure provider established in 1996 as the data center division of LINKdotNET. Over almost three decades, the company has expanded from traditional website hosting into a comprehensive technology provider serving small businesses, major enterprises, financial institutions, media organizations, and government-sector projects throughout Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa.

Its early infrastructure supported several well-known Egyptian internet businesses, including Masrawy, Mazzika, Yallakora, Otlob, ConnectAds, and ARPU Plus. The corporate structure changed significantly in 2010, when the LINKdotNET internet service provider operation was acquired by Mobinil, which later became part of Orange. Link Datacenter continued under the OTVentures organization alongside Link Development, ConnectAds, and ARPU Plus.

The business operates through Link Datacenter for Data Exchange L.L.C., an Egyptian company registered under number 101146. Gamal Selim serves as Chief Executive Officer.

Link Datacenter covers both mainstream hosting and complex enterprise infrastructure. Its small-business portfolio includes international domain registration, .EG domain registration, DNS management, Linux and Windows shared hosting, managed and self-managed VPS, virtual machines, reseller hosting, SSL certificates, website-building packages, professional email, Microsoft Hosted Exchange, Microsoft 365, Microsoft 365 Copilot, endpoint protection, and Microsoft security management.

The Go Digital package is designed for companies establishing their first professional online presence. It combines a domain name, website hosting, website-building tools, SSL protection, and business email within one service package.

Linux and Windows shared hosting use SSD storage and include SSL support, firewall protection, software updates, FTP access, DDoS mitigation, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. These plans are suitable for company websites, blogs, online catalogs, and other conventional web projects.

VPS hosting is available with managed or self-managed administration. Customers can choose Linux or Windows, allocate CPU and RAM resources according to their workload, obtain full server access, and add backup services. Managed VPS plans transfer operating-system maintenance, updates, security configuration, monitoring, and routine administration to the Link Datacenter technical team.

The availability of billing in Egyptian pounds and US dollars is an important advantage for local businesses. Paying in EGP reduces exposure to currency fluctuations, while USD billing remains practical for international organizations and regional companies with foreign-currency budgets.

Reseller hosting provides a multi-account environment for developers, web agencies, designers, and hosting businesses managing websites for multiple clients. Virtual machine services offer scalable computing resources for organizations that need more flexibility than shared hosting without immediately moving to dedicated physical hardware.

The email portfolio ranges from affordable professional mailboxes to Microsoft Hosted Exchange and Microsoft 365. Professional Business Email starts from 15 EGP and supports packages with between five and 100 mailboxes. Features include calendar collaboration, webmail, POP3 and IMAP access, anti-virus filtering, PDF and image inspection, mailbox administration, and spam protection.

Microsoft 365 packages provide Exchange, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Office applications, and centralized administration. Local support from Microsoft-certified personnel makes these plans especially useful for companies that prefer regional technical assistance instead of relying exclusively on Microsoft’s global support channels.

The enterprise portfolio is substantially broader and includes dedicated servers, colocation, hybrid cloud, private cloud, Microsoft Azure Stack, Huawei Cloud, managed hosting, infrastructure migration, disaster recovery, streaming and video-on-demand platforms, FinTech infrastructure, VMware alternatives, and sovereign enterprise AI.

Dedicated hosting provides single-tenant physical servers with Linux, Windows Server, and Oracle Linux options. Customers can select local or SAN-based storage, database platforms, backup services, security tools, and managed administration. Supported technologies include Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Veeam, web application firewalls, and DDoS protection.

Hybrid and private-cloud environments can combine local infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Azure Stack, or Huawei Cloud. Azure Stack allows organizations to use cloud-style services while keeping applications and data within local enterprise-grade infrastructure. This is particularly valuable for companies subject to data-residency, regulatory, latency, or internal-governance requirements.

Managed hosting covers operating-system administration, security hardening, application patching, monitoring, backup management, recovery planning, capacity management, performance optimization, and customized service-level agreements. It is suitable for organizations that need reliable infrastructure without maintaining a large internal operations team.

Disaster-recovery environments can be built across local facilities, Microsoft Azure, or AWS. Migration services include infrastructure assessment, modernization planning, data transfer, workload deployment, testing, and ongoing operation.

The enterprise AI platform is designed for organizations that cannot send sensitive prompts, business documents, identity records, or model outputs to conventional public AI platforms. Deployment options include isolated on-premises hardware, an in-country sovereign cloud, and managed private-cloud infrastructure.

These AI environments support Arabic-language processing, regional terminology, local identity documents, regulatory forms, private inference, role-based access control, and detailed audit logging. The service is relevant for financial institutions, government organizations, healthcare-related operations, legal departments, and other sectors handling confidential information.

Security and regulatory compliance are among the company’s strongest characteristics. Link Datacenter maintains infrastructure and operational practices aligned with ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, GDPR, and Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority requirements.

The websites and customer services are available in English and Arabic, while product billing can use EGP or USD. The different business, enterprise, private-cloud, security, and AI portals create a broad service ecosystem that can support customers from their first website through to highly regulated cloud and data center deployments.
