20i Launches Singapore Data Center via Equinix Partnership
January 31, 2026
The expansion of digital infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region continues to accelerate as global businesses seek low-latency, resilient hosting solutions. For managed hosting providers, establishing a presence in strategic hubs like Singapore is critical to serving the growing demand from enterprises across South and Southeast Asia. Managed hosting provider 20i has announced the launch of a new data center location in Singapore, marking a significant step in its global expansion strategy. The company has signed an agreement to lease capacity at a facility operated by colocation giant Equinix. While the specific data center was not named, 20i confirmed the site is powered entirely by renewable energy. The move is designed to optimize services for customers in key markets including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, and Australia. 20i's platform offers a range of services such as reseller hosting, managed WordPress hosting, and cloud servers, utilizing autoscaling and load-balancing technologies across its infrastructure to handle variable traffic loads. Lloyd Cobb, director at 20i, commented on the launch: “The launch of our Singapore data center is a major milestone in our mission to deliver world-class hosting experiences globally. We’re incredibly excited to bring our most advanced, high-performance hosting platform to Asia, giving customers across the APAC region local access to a resilient, ultra-fast hosting platform." The partnership leverages Equinix's substantial footprint in Singapore, where it currently operates five data centers across three campuses and is developing a sixth facility. Equinix has reinforced its commitment to sustainability in the region, having secured S$650 million (approximately US$505.3 million) in green bonds in August 2025 and later signing a 20-year, 10-megawatt virtual power purchase agreement with Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). For 20i, the Singapore location joins a global network that includes data center space or content delivery nodes in over 25 countries across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. This expansion underscores the intensifying competition and investment in the APAC data center market, as providers race to build capacity to support cloud adoption, digital transformation, and emerging technologies.
