Plant Hosting & Co-location

Explainer DC has established its own hosting company Plant Ghana i n co-operation with Plant Hosting and Co-location, with offices in The Netherlands, the UK, South Africa and Argentina. This allows us to better service our existing customers, and offer hosting services to a wider audience. We intend to offer high quality hosting in Ghana soon, which means your website will be faster for local visitors.

eTicketManager is a web-based travel distribution solution, offering airlines the possibility to easily establish a low-cost public ticket reservation system, and robust and scalable online system for ticket distribution, check-in and management. Explainer DC has one client for this system in Ghana, and two new clients in Nigeria and The Netherlands, which will come online in the second half of this year.
