Gaming Congress, Expo, Features Netcetera

 



Isle of Man, British Isles - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 5, 2007 - Netcetera is attending the 6th annual EIG, the European I-Gaming Congress and Expo taking place at the Barcelona International Convention Centre, on government stand No 302.



Dave Boswell, Chief Operating Officer at Netcetera explained, ''Many online gaming companies choose to locate in the Isle of Man because they gain access to the most advanced technology and the best infrastructure along with low-tax incentives. The island is known as a jurisdiction that is easy to deal with and, importantly, it was recently named on the UK Government White List which opens up the British market to iGaming companies located here.''



The Isle of Man government has reported that it is extremely committed to developing a competitive iGaming business industry. The Isle of Man's advanced telecommunications infrastructure, zero corporation tax policy and low personal taxes are just some of the steps it's taken.



The Dataport, Netcetera's new data centre in the Isle of Man, offers the most-advanced and cost-effective facilities for housing IT infrastructure available anywhere offshore. This world-class tier 4 data centre boasts 700 rack hosting capacity, or approximately 28,000 servers, and offers a comprehensive range of hosting services and outstanding levels of security.



Mr. Boswell continued, ''For iGaming companies, their web presence is the lifeblood of business. Hosting with one of those here-today-gone-tomorrow outfits in some dodgy tax haven could be commercial suicide. Successful online gambling companies know to put their trust in a web host that has a proven track record, a reputation for excellence and that operates in a stable and well-respected jurisdiction.''


In May, the company took part in the Internet World 2007 B2B event, at Earls Court, to showcase the offshore web host's tax efficiencies for e-business ventures in the Isle of Man. To coincide with the event, the Isle of Man Government held a seminar on Tax Efficient Hosting as part of the Internet World Conference at 11.00, 01 May 2007 in the eCommerce and Managed Services Theatre at Earls Court. The session was an exploration of the key considerations in choosing the best location for an ebusiness including taxation, regulation, telecommunications, business infrastructure and government policy. It will also include a discussion of the UK's new Remote Gaming Duty and how it will impact the online gambling and egaming industries.
