Locaweb

Locaweb is widely recognized as the pioneer and market leader in the Brazilian web hosting and digital infrastructure sector. Founded in 1998 in São Paulo by the Wakim family, the company played a crucial role in bringing the internet to Brazilian businesses during the early dot-com era.

Operating from its own Tier III data center in São Paulo, Locaweb offers a localized latency advantage that international competitors struggle to match. Their portfolio has expanded significantly beyond simple hosting to include email marketing, e-commerce platforms, and cloud computing solutions under the 'Locaweb Corp' brand.

As a publicly traded company on the Brazilian stock exchange (B3: LWSA3), Locaweb represents the pinnacle of Brazilian digital data sovereignty, ensuring strict compliance with local LGPD (General Data Protection Law) regulations. Their infrastructure handles a massive portion of Brazil's domestic web traffic, making them the default choice for enterprises requiring stability and legal compliance within national borders.
