In the heart of Kurdistan, a bold vision took root – a determination to transform underserved and expanding regions into thriving digital hubs. Kurdistan, with its strategic location and a rapidly booming economy, presented immense potential but lacked the infrastructure necessary to support commercial growth. This gap became the driving force for the board members of LinkData.com, who saw an opportunity to address the region’s unmet needs and position Kurdistan as a leader in the digital era.
What began as an idea quickly evolved into a pioneering venture, establishing a Kurdish company that now stands as a regional icon, attracting customers from around the world and driving innovation while advancing the region’s digital infrastructure. LinkData.com was created to fill this critical gap, providing the technology and expertise needed to empower businesses and foster economic development.
LinkData.com holds the distinction of being the first Kurdish company to successfully establish a global presence, earning the trust of clients worldwide. Through relentless dedication to innovation, excellence, and customer satisfaction, the company has become a trailblazer in the cloud computing industry, delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to the needs of businesses on an international scale.
At the heart of its operations is the first commercial Tier 3 data center in Kurdistan, a facility that adheres to the highest standards of redundancy and reliability. As the pioneering Tier 3 data center operator in the region, LinkData.com provides exceptional services that cater to businesses locally and globally, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security.
The company’s diverse range of cloud services is designed to empower businesses in a cloud-first world. These offerings include fully managed Kubernetes for seamless container orchestration, high-performance Virtual Private Servers with unmetered bandwidth, Virtual Dedicated Servers for enhanced flexibility, robust bare-metal servers for dedicated resources, secure private cloud solutions, reliable cloud storage for efficient data management, and backup and disaster recovery services to safeguard critical data. Additional services, such as DNS as a Service, File as a Service, and Firewall as a Service, further demonstrate the company’s commitment to comprehensive solutions that streamline operations and drive innovation.
Recognized by leading organizations like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), LinkData.com has achieved another milestone as the first ICANN-accredited domain registrar in the region. This accreditation enables the company to offer the globally recognized .krd domain, symbolizing Kurdish identity on the international stage, alongside popular domains like .com and .co.uk. Local businesses also benefit from high-speed hosting services, supported by expert Kurdish professionals, ensuring a seamless and reliable experience tailored to the community’s needs.
LinkData.com’s journey exemplifies the power of vision, innovation, and commitment to excellence, solidifying its position as a leader in the digital transformation of Kurdistan and beyond. By bridging the gap in infrastructure and leveraging the region’s economic boom, the company is paving the way for a thriving digital future in Kurdistan.
