Costa PBN was founded in 2015, by Gonçalo Costa and Bernardo Moreira providing high-quality PBN solutions to SEO agencies and marketing professionals around the world. Over the years, its products evolved and Costa PBN started working primarily in the iGaming industry, working with both affiliates and operators. Last year, the brand was incorporated into Costa Rank becoming the dedicated PBN department of the company, which Internet Vikings now takes over.
Internet Vikings is a premium hosting and SEO content provider tailored for the iGaming industry and was recently described as a ‘hidden gem’ by Swedish business media following the announcement that the former CEO of Mr Green, Jesper Kärrbrink, have joined their ranks as Chairman of the Board.
This week, the company is making yet another bullish announcement with the acquisition of Costa PBN, an SEO content provider and competitor in the field of premium SEO products such as brand protection sites and fully-built content site networks.
Founded by Rickard Vikström and Victor Jerlin, Internet Vikings provides a range of tailored tech services and products for the iGaming industry. The business has two main niches. Serving SEO professionals as a One-Stop-Shop for digital assets such as expired domains, differentiated IP addresses, SEO and content site production, and brand protection site deployment – a product aimed at protecting brand traffic for iGaming operators.
They also offer premium hosting solutions across many data centres in Europe, North and South America, and Asia, accommodating an increasingly global iGaming industry with servers for frontend and database hosting solutions.
The acquisition means that Costa PBN’s clients will benefit from a larger selection of products and services, such as domain name registration and hosting, making available the full package of services in one place.
Rickard Vikström, CEO at Internet Vikings said: “I am very happy with our first big acquisition for Internet Vikings and I am really looking forward to working with Costa PBN’s partners and clients. As a larger provider, Internet Vikings can help the clients of Costa PBN with everything from domain names and site creation to hosting.”
Gonçalo Costa, Co-Founder of Costa PBN said: “After several years of building Costa PBN and working with clients from all over the world, I am confident that Internet Vikings will continue to support our clients at a high-level with their extended product offerings. As a company, we are transitioning to a new business and downsizing our services company, so I am happy that Internet Vikings is bringing continuity to the work we have been doing over the past few years.”
