The term THP (Technological Hosting Platform), is defined as the sum of the working and marketing efforts of a group of people: image providers, distributors, and clients, interacting independently within the global marketplace. Management of the THP is overseen single-handedly by age fotostock.

The THP was introduced six years ago and has now evolved into a community of over 50 distributors, 270 RF and RM image collections and over 1,300 photographers, combining to form an impressive database of around 6 million high-resolution files residing on age fotostock servers located in Barcelona, Spain, and New York. Furthermore, another group of nearly 70 age fotostock distributors receive different levels of support as result of the technology emanating from the THP developments, which allows age fotostock to, among other things, massively process and keyword thousands of images in seven languages within a fraction of the time required for other companies to do the same.
