Sao Tome and Principe is one of the least known, but surprisingly promising states on the African continent. Located near the equator, this island nation in the Gulf of Guinea has for many years been associated exclusively with cocoa beans and its colonial heritage.
But today, thanks to digital initiatives, the country is becoming part of the global network map.
Despite its small size and remoteness from the continent, projects for connecting to underwater cables are emerging here, telecommunications routes are developing, and the government is focusing on information independence.
The VPS server in Sao Tome and Principe from THE.Hosting is not just geo-exotic. This is a technically proven solution with a number of advantages:
- Direct connection to the WACS underwater cable connecting the island to Namibia, South Africa and Portugal.
- An independent IP pool that is practically unused in the hosting world.
- A jurisdiction outside the GDRP, CLOUD Act, and other international agreements.
- The bandwidth is sufficient for business tasks that require stability, not mass production.
- Humanitarian and environmental projects operating in Africa and in need of a digital hotspot.
- B2B services that need to maintain a unique digital footprint.
- Geo-oriented SEO platforms that are critical for having “clean” IP addresses in rare regions.
- API is an infrastructure for Central and West Africa that needs connectivity and non-involvement.
- Companies that place backup services off congested routes.
