Locaweb Reviews

Locaweb Serviços de Internet S.A., founded in 1998 in Brazil by cousins Claudio Gora and Gilberto Mautner, is a prominent provider of web hosting, cloud computing, domain registration, and SaaS solutions primarily targeting the Brazilian market. Initially conceived as a B2B portal for the textile sector, the company quickly pivoted to website hosting in 1999. It has since grown significantly, becoming one of the largest players in Latin America's digital infrastructure space, hosting over 340,000 websites and employing thousands. Locaweb operates primarily in two segments: Be Online & SaaS (including hosting, cloud services, email, site builders, and marketing tools) and Commerce (e-commerce platforms, payment solutions, marketplace integration). Their infrastructure boasts one of Latin America's largest data centers, Tier III certified (ISAE 3402), ensuring high availability (99.8% uptime SLA) and security. Locaweb caters to a wide range of customers, from individuals and small businesses (SMBs) to large corporations, offering scalable solutions. A key differentiator is their robust ecosystem, built through strategic acquisitions (like Tray, Vindi, Bling) since their 2020 IPO (LWSA3 on B3 exchange), allowing them to offer integrated digital solutions across a client's entire journey. They are known for their focus on innovation, customer service (24/7 support), and strong position within the Brazilian IT and e-commerce market.
