The rise in popularity of casino websites has grown significantly over the past decade and 2021 has seen iGaming reach new heights in the midst of the current global pandemic. With physical casinos forced to close and people spending more time at home, online gambling and betting has become the best alternative, and we’ve seen the industry grow at a rapid pace as demand increases.
Saying that, for an online casino website to be successful and stand out in a saturated market, it needs to deliver high performance, reliability and innovation to its players. Web Hosting is the key to achieving this, so in this article we’ll take a closer look at the best web hosting for online gambling and betting.
What is web hosting
Web hosting is needed for any website to be visible online. Put simply, hosting providers rent out space on their servers or even whole servers, to website owners, which store all of the elements that make up a website. In doing this, websites are made accessible to users online.
There are different forms of hosting, like shared hosting, VPS and dedicated server hosting, to name a few. Each one has different features and benefits, and choosing the right one heavily depends on the type of website you have and how much traffic you expect it to receive, amongst other things.
Casino website hosting
With web hosting being such a crucial component when it comes to the potential success of your casino website, it’s important that your web host meets the following requirements.
Compliance
Online gambling isn’t regulated by one individual body so the legalities of running a casino website change per jurisdiction. In order to legally run an online casino, you need to obtain a betting license from the relevant authorities. Hosting your website in a jurisdiction where online gambling is legal is obviously best practice so the ideal web host will have data centers in gambling-friendly locations and fully comply with their regulations.
NetShop ISP has fully compliant data centers in some of the world’s most prominent iGaming hubs like Malta, Cyprus and the United Kingdom.
Performance
As we mentioned, the performance of your casino website will pretty much make or break it, so you need to ensure that your hosting provider guarantees superfast speeds, high availability uptime SLAs and the resources that you need to keep your website running smoothly – so that your players keep returning.

Security
It’s not surprising that casino websites are oftentimes the targets of cyber-attacks, so having heightened security procedures in place is essential to avoid disruptions, downtime and any damage to your reputation. Opt for a hosting provider that can ensure your casino website is hosted safely, and offers additional security products like DDoS protection.

Issues arise and they need to be tended to quickly and efficiently so it’s crucial to opt for a hosting provider that offers 24/7 technical support.
